Contacting The Secret Service

There are a number of people each year who become victims of foreign scams.  For whatever reason they send money to strangers in other countries and only later find out that they have been scammed.

If this happens to you, the Secret Service requests that you provide them with all information related to the scam.  One of the most difficult obstacles that authorities face when fighting this type of fraud is that individuals do not report the fraud out of embarrassment.

Contact the United States Secret Service, Financial Crimes Division, 950 H Street NW,  Washington, D.C. 20223

Phone: 202-486-5850

In any event contacting legal authorities is a good response.  Although they may not be able to give you the full measure of justice that you seek, you will be helping yourself and others and may perhaps hold the one clue that puts a con artist behind bars.
