Who would you report internet fraud to?

I’ve just run foul of a online ticket company (concerts and such), which turns out to be rather notorious scam company. I should get my money back through my credit card, so that isn’t really a problem, but I cant see how a company with kind of reputation can be getting away it.

So my question is, is there some kind of online trading standards which I can report this company too

(its based in the uk by the way)

Cheers

Here is a list of Websites providing information closely related to your question. Included you will find links to Complaint Web Forms to be completed online and e-mail links to submit a report. There’s a number of Websites for Anti-Scam and Anti-Fraud organizations that you will find by “Googling” the phrase “anti-scam and anti-fraud”.

A complaint to the Police agency having jurisdiction for either the area where you live or where the “business” is located (if you know) is to be considered also. The “Directgov” link will help on this I believe.

Please take the time to read the information about the Complaints you will be filing. Any agency can only start its work based on the data it receives. Many reports they receive are “sketchy” and can not be developed into a full-fledged investigation, indictment, and prosecution even when the offender is known.

The important elements of a complete report (an effective Complaint) include who-what-when-where-why-how. (These same elements used to be the basis of all journalism, back when real news was published.)

Good Luck to you. Now that you’ve been victimized, be a vengeful victim. Scuttle the Scammer!

The basis for this information I have provided for you is from personal experiences as an effective “complainer” and vindictive “dissatisfied consumer”. The links were taken from my “Anti-Scam bookmarks” or freshly “Googled”.
