Report a scam

Submit a report to the database

Every report goes through automated checks, human moderation, and a right-of-reply window before anything is published. Your personal details are never published — see what happens after you submit on the right.

1

Your details

🔒 Private — never published. Used only to follow up or verify your report.
2

Police case & officer details

🔒 Private — never published. If OSINTrace later opens a paid investigation on this case, these details let our analyst reach out to the officer already handling it directly, instead of starting cold.

What happened

📢 May be published — reviewed and anonymized of your identity first.
Only tick these if genuinely separate techniques were also used. A romance scam that turned into a fake investment is already "Pig butchering scam" above — you don't need to tick Romance scam and Fake investment too. Use this for things like a job scam that also involved a SIM swap.
Press Enter or "+ Add" after each one — paste several separated by commas to add them all at once. Include every mirror/lookalike domain.
Instagram/TikTok/X: @handle is fine. Facebook, Telegram & WhatsApp groups usually don't have short handles — paste the full profile/group link instead.
Add every address the funds passed through, if you have more than one. Paste a comma or newline-separated list to add several at once.
Bank name, account number and account holder name — whatever you have. Add more than one if funds moved between accounts.
🔒 Not published as an exact figure — only the range below is ever shown publicly.
Under R10k R10k – R50k R50k – R100k R100k – R250k R250k – R500k R500k – R1 million R1 million – R2.5 million R2.5 million – R5 million R5 million – R10 million Greater than R10 million Prefer not to say
More detail makes it easier for a moderator to verify your report and match it against existing cases.

Want us to actively investigate this?

Filing a report adds it to the public database, but doesn't start any investigative work. If you want tracing, evidence-gathering, or a formal findings report, request an investigation — we'll link it to this case automatically.
