We suggest reporting “phishing” or “spoofed” emails to the following groups:

  • Forward the email to [email protected]
  • Visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website to report it at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/
  • Forward the email to the “abuse” email address at the company that is being spoofed (e.g. “[email protected]“)
  • When forwarding spoofed messages, always include the entire original email with its original header information intact
  • Notify the Internet Fraud Complaint Center of the FBI by filing a complaint on their website: https://www.ic3.gov/
