Getting scammed is stressful enough. Figuring out what to do next shouldn't add to that stress, but for a lot of people, it does. That's the gap Unscammed was built to fill.
The platform walks people through their reporting options after a scam, pointing them toward the right organizations for their specific situation. That might mean the FBI, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a local police department, a bank, or a handful of other agencies depending on what actually happened.
Most people don't know where to start after they've been scammed. If you've lost money or had personal information stolen, you might end up contacting three or four different organizations, retelling the same story each time. And the process isn't the same for everyone. It depends on the type of scam, where you live, and what kind of information or money was involved.
That's exactly the problem Unscammed tries to solve. Based on a user's location and circumstances, it lays out which organizations are worth contacting and how to go about it.
In the U.S., that covers reporting through the FBI, the FTC, local law enforcement, and banks, among others. The platform doesn't just list these options, it guides users through the process of actually reporting to them.
Unscammed has also expanded beyond the U.S. It's currently live in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Since each of these countries handles fraud reporting differently, the platform adjusts its guidance for wherever the user is located.
"Reporting a scam can be an important step after experiencing fraud," said a representative of Unscammed. "We created Unscammed to make it easier for people to understand where they can report what happened, and to help them navigate the reporting process."
No two scams play out the same way, so the right next step really depends on the details. Some situations call for contacting a bank first. Others need law enforcement involved right away, or a government agency, or more than one of these at once. Unscammed helps people work through that decision instead of leaving them to guess.
Filing a report does more than just check a box, too. It creates an official record of the incident, and giving a clear, accurate account helps whoever receives the report actually understand what happened.
Unscammed encourages anyone who's dealt with fraud to report it, even knowing the process looks different from person to person, country to country, and scam to scam.
Right now, the platform operates in four countries: the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia. Anyone in the U.S. can head to the Unscammed website to get started.
The bigger goal here is simple: make scam reporting less confusing. Rather than leaving people to research every possible option on their own, Unscammed narrows it down to what's actually relevant to them.
