How to Report a Scam or Phishing Attack

Reporting scams is the most powerful method of combating global fraud. By understanding how to report a scam properly, you aggregate critical OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) that allows platforms like SusScam to instantly identify, flag, and destroy active threat infrastructure before it harms others.

Step 1: Capture the Evidence Securely

The first rule of dealing with a suspicious message—whether it's an email, an SMS, or a WhatsApp text—is to never click the link. Your phone and browser can be easily fingerprinted if the link contains tracking tokens. Instead, you need to capture a screenshot.

Ensure the screenshot clearly displays the malicious URL, the sender's phone number or email address, and the exact text of the message. This raw image data is critical for accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing.

Step 2: Upload to the Intelligence Engine

Unlike traditional government reporting portals that require you to fill out massive, confusing PDF forms, SusScam is designed for frictionless ingestion. You do not need to create an account. Simply navigate to our reporting page and upload your screenshot.

Once uploaded, our proprietary deep-learning engine scans the image, extracts the malicious URLs, categorizes the targeted brand, and algorithmically assigns a Risk Score. We handle all the complex metadata generation automatically.

Step 3: What Happens Next?

When you learn how to report a scam through an automated intelligence network, your single screenshot contributes to a massive global graph. If the malicious URL in your screenshot matches a broader, ongoing campaign, our active defense mechanisms trigger.

High-confidence threats are bundled alongside WHOIS data, DNS configuration matrices, and ICANN abuse contacts. This evidence payload is securely syndicated to hosting providers and Domain Registrars to formally issue a Takedown Notice against the offending servers. Your single 5-second report directly contributes to pulling scammers offline permanently.
