How to protect yourself from government agency imposter scams

Never send money, gift cards or crypto to anyone you have not independently verified.
Search the business name, website, email and phone number here before paying.

If you have paid, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge.
Report to Action Fraud (UK), the FTC (US) or your national authority, and add your occurrence above.
