They ignored your emails.
They closed your ticket.
They said "no refunds."
You almost gave up.
We built
what we
wished existed.
Every year, millions of people get cheated, overcharged, or ghosted by businesses that know the system protects them — not you. We started Report a Scam because we were tired of watching good people lose to bad actors. No lawyers. No fees. Just a tool that actually works.
The system
wasn't built for you.
You called support — they put you on hold for 3 hours
You left a review — nothing changed
You looked up small claims — 45+ days, hundreds in fees
72% of people with legitimate claims just give up
We send the business a formal legal notice with a real deadline
It takes you 2 minutes — not weeks
78% of cases settle before they ever reach court
You keep 100% of your recovery. We charge the business, not you.
"Access to justice shouldn't depend on how much money you have or whether you know a lawyer. It should be a right — and we're building the tool to make it one."
— The Report a Scam Team
Numbers don't lie.
Real people. Real results. Every number below is a person who stood up and won.
How we
got here.
We watched people give up.
Millions of legitimate complaints — overcharges, broken contracts, outright fraud — go unresolved every year. Not because people don't have a case, but because the system was designed to exhaust them. Hold music. Form letters. Filing fees. The process itself became the punishment.
Same story, different victim.
Contractors ghosting after payment. Subscription companies refusing to cancel. Airlines offering vouchers instead of refunds. Small claims filings dropped dramatically — not because disputes disappeared, but because courts became too underfunded, too slow, and too confusing to use. Access to justice became a privilege.
We stopped watching.
We built what we wished existed. Not a legal firm. Not a review site. A tool that puts the business on formal legal notice with a real deadline, prepares court-ready documents if they don't respond, and lets the consumer keep every dollar recovered — at zero cost. Because fighting back shouldn't require giving up your savings first.
The people
behind it.
Consumer protection experts, cybercrime researchers, regulatory specialists, and fintech strategists — united by a single mission: make fighting back simple, free, and effective.

Three
principles.
Transparency
Every business profile, resolution rate, and response time is public. No black boxes. No hidden algorithms. If a business has a pattern of complaints, the world sees it.
Accountability
We put businesses on formal notice with real deadlines and real consequences. No angry review buried on page 12 — a structured enforcement process that demands a response.
Access
Filing is free. Recovery is free. You keep 100% of every dollar recovered. Justice shouldn't have a price tag, and fighting back shouldn't require a law degree or a retainer.
