Set clear expectations for victims, families, partners, and law enforcement. Clear beats vague every time.

SAFE Net receives the report
The report helps identify scam patterns, educate the community, and guide victims toward proper reporting paths.
Information is organized
Staff or volunteers may classify the scam type, payment method, platforms involved, and urgency level.
Guidance may be provided
SAFE Net may provide general recovery steps and direct the person to banks, IC3, FTC, local law enforcement, or other agencies.
Trends may become alerts
If a scam appears active in the region, SAFE Net may publish an education alert without exposing victim identity.
SAFE Net can
Help organize scam details
Provide recovery education
Point victims to official reports
Track public scam patterns
SAFE Net cannot
Guarantee money recovery, provide legal advice, replace law enforcement, access bank records, or promise an investigation outcome.
Important: If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If money was sent, contact the financial institution immediately before waiting for any nonprofit response.
