Prevent and Report Scams

Let us help protect you and others with information about common scams and how to report them.

Have you been the victim of a scam? Have you been targeted by scammers? Have you seen something you suspect is a scam?

You can get help - and help others - by reporting scams and suspected scams to the Ohio Attorney General's Office. You can easily report scams online and can file without providing your name, if you choose.

If you suspect you gave money or sensitive information to a scammer, or do not feel safe because of a suspected scam, contact your local law enforcement agency or call 9-1-1.

Did you receive a contact (email, text, phone call) that claims to be from a State of Ohio agency? Please contact the agency directly using their official contacts to see if the contact is real before responding.
