The mission of the FBI is "to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States". Elder Fraud is considered fraudulent activity targeting individuals aged 60 or older. As part of the FBI's mission, the FBI pursues ways to combat criminals targeting seniors in alignment with internal and external partnerships through the Department of Justice's Elder Fraud Initiative.

Through IC3. the FBI has created a public avenue for seniors to report fraud. IC3 receives and tracks thousand of complaints daily. IC3 reporting is key to identifying, investigating, and holding these criminal actors accountable for their actions.

Do not be afraid to report a suspected crime. IC3 promises you are not alone. Millions of elderly Americans fall victim to financial fraud through a fraud scheme committed on the internet.

If you, or someone you know, is a victim of a fraud or scam, file a complaint with the IC3.
