About Find Frauds

Find Frauds aspires to be a ready reckoner of prevailing online frauds & scams.

Globally each year, people & organisations lose tens of billions of dollars to online frauds and scams. The role of this website is to provide information to consumers and businesses about how to recognise, avoid and report scams.

This website does not give legal advice and is unable to offer assistance in individual cases or to investigate each scam that you report to us. However, we greatly appreciate your contribution to the collection of scam-related data. 

This information is used to keep people informed about the latest scams in circulation so that they can safeguard themselves.

Your report is important to us and others as this information assists us in indexing scam trends and informing many where appropriate.

Some frauds or scams may also be criminal offences. Someone who commits fraud has acted dishonestly or by omission to deliberately deceive someone. 

Fraud is regulated under various acts, including state and territorial criminal legislation and under national common law of various countries. There can be overlap between misleading and deceptive conduct under the consumer protection laws, fraud and other criminal laws.

Where an actual crime has been committed, you may wish to contact your local police, or report it to a Cyber Crime Bureau locally if the crime has taken place online. Cyber Crime Bureaus helps law enforcement to better combat the growing threat of cybercrime globally.
