Think you've been scammed? Talk to a real person now.
Scam Hotline connects you with a U.S.-based scam specialist, 24/7. No chatbots, no scripts. We'll help you work out what happened, protect your accounts, and file the right claims and reports.
Why call right away
The first hours after a scam matter most. Banks and payment apps often have short windows to dispute or reverse a payment. Scammers also tend to come back with a second attempt, often posing as a "recovery" service. Calling early gives you the best chance to act while there are still options.

Tell us what happened
Your specialist listens, asks the right questions, and collects the messages, receipts, and account details tied to your case.

We build your case
We organize your evidence and help you file with your bank, payment provider, and the right agencies. Where it's possible, we'll work with them for you.

We help you recover
We guide you through reimbursement claims and required reports and help you secure your accounts. We're there for the emotional side too. Being scammed is hard, and it isn't your fault.
What we'll never do
Ask for your passwords, PINs, or one-time codes
Ask you to send money, gift cards, or crypto to "unlock" a refund
Promise to get your money back. No one honestly can, but we'll give you the best possible shot.
How to check it's really us: we'll only contact you from [phone number / domain].
