To report a matter of Advance Fee Fraud please follow the steps outlined below:

• Step One: Identify the Law Enforcement Agency responsible for the investigation.
• Step Two: Read the Following important information.
• Step Three: Complete the online web based Advance Fee Fraud Report.

Step One – Identify the Law Enforcement Agency responsible for the investigation

The Law Enforcement Agency responsible for investigating these matters is generally determined by the location of the offender at the time of the offence. Therefore you need to identify the State or Country you believe the offender is located before you make your report.

How Do I know what State or Country the offender is located?

Where did you send your money? Did you send the money via direct deposit into a bank account? If so, what was the branch number (BSB) of the account you deposited to? (Your bank may be able to assist with this inquiry). What postal address did you send your money to? Where did the offender tell you they lived?

What if I sent money to more than one State or Country?

If you have sent money to more than one State or Country you should report the matter to the State or Country that first received your funds.

Step Two – Read the following important information
