How Do I Report Credit Card Fraud,Without Getting Involvd?
Maintaining D asked:
I know of credit card fraud going on and I want to report this to the FBI, but I am concerned for my well being. This person is using a dead person’s name and credit cards, and they need to be stopped. Can I do this, without my name or location being revealed?
I want to thank all of you, for the wonderful suggestions, which were all good.I am sad to say I don’t know who specifically (credit card companie) holds those cards; otherwise I would have moved on it a lot quicker. I’m dumbfounded that the credit rating corps didn’t catch this. But the erpson continues to use a dead person’s cards,….and the people in this posting could be dangerous.
Again, thanks to all of you,…..there are so many avenues I can possibly explore.

You can always report anonymously. ALWAYS. I suggest you call your local CrimeStoppers hotline.

In the US, credit card fraud can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and to local and regional authorities. It is the standing policy of the FTC not to investigate reports where the value of fraud does not exceed $2000. Local law enforcement may or may not further investigate a credit card fraud, depending on the amount, type of fraud, and where the fraud originated from.
You can also file a complaint here. This is the website the FTC uses to file their complaints.
Thanks for the honesty.
Credit Card fraud affects us all one way or another.

Maybe someone ELSE should make the call to the FBI. That would be me. Use the system email to give me the details -that could actually be used as evidence and to put the finger on this guy. You gotta name names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, who the dead guy is.
And you don’t have to give me your actual email. Just the facts.
OK?

Call the United States Secret Service. That is the specific agency for financial crimes committed by means of a device (the card is a device under the statute). Tell them you wanna be “Queen for a Day.” They will almost certainly grant you that status. You need to get a signed agreement from them to treat you as a CI (confidential informant) before you tell them jack.
Alternatively, call the credit card issuers and advise them of what you know. But if you remain anonymous, you will never know if it’s being pursued. And eventually, this could return to haunt you: if you know a crime is being committed, and do nothing, you may have liability as an accessory.
Queen for a Day is the high road.

The best way is to report it to the card company and stay anonomous. The card company will know what to do with it.
