Victim of an online scam or cybercrime? Where to report it
If you have been scammed, had an account accessed without consent or suspect a cybercrime, this directory offers practical guidance and links to official organisations. Choose the country relevant to your case and check which procedure each service accepts.
Deceptive payments, fake online stores or transactions you do not recognise.
Account misuse or impersonation
Unauthorised account access, identity misuse or unlawful sharing of personal details.
Threats, extortion or attacks
Online harassment, blackmail, threats or attacks affecting devices and files.
Not every technical fault or unwanted advert is a criminal offence. However, attempted scams, threats or blackmail may be reportable even without financial loss. The legal classification and process depend on local law and the facts.
When should you report or ask for advice?
Police report
Where an offence may have occurred, or you have suffered harm, threats, identity misuse or financial loss. The exact eligibility depends on the country.
Security incident notification
Suspicious messages, fake websites and technical vulnerabilities may be reported to service providers, specialist teams or a CERT. A notification is not necessarily a formal police complaint.
Advice or consumer complaint
A configuration fault, service issue or commercial dispute may call for technical support or consumer assistance. Seek official advice when deception or threats are involved.
What to do first
If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services rather than waiting for an online form.
If a fraudulent payment occurred, contact your bank or payment provider promptly using its official website or app.
Keep messages, screenshots, URLs, receipts, timestamps and original emails. Avoid publishing other people's personal data.
Change compromised passwords from a trusted device, review account sessions and enable stronger sign-in protection when possible.
Read the official service's requirements before sending details: some sites provide guidance, while others support formal police reports.

The Spanish National Police online reporting service requires the report to be signed at the chosen police station within 72 hours to become legally valid. Other police reporting rules vary by incident. Guardia Civil accepts certain online fraud and unauthorised payment reports, subject to conditions; other cases may require an in-person police report.
The Justice Ministry explains how to report incidents to the appropriate police station or prosecutor and find specialist units. Not every procedure is fully online.
The official ADenunciar system includes computer-related offences, with specific conditions and categories. Other offences may require in-person reporting.
The federal prosecutor provides guidance on federal offences. Its digital guidance form does not itself open a criminal investigation file. For local offences, consult the relevant state prosecutor.
The Queixa Eletrónica portal allows certain complaints to the GNR or PSP, including fraud ('burla'). Other offences may require police or prosecutor contact.
The federal Virtual Police Station accepts reports in participating states only; eligible incident types vary. CERT.br handles technical incident notifications by email, not police crime reports.
