If you gave private information to someone who you suspect may be a scammer – or if you gave money to someone you suspect may be a scammer – there are several measures you can take.
To start, if you paid using a traceable source (i.e. a credit card) you can call your credit card company and/or bank and alert them of the possible scam.
You should also check all three of your credit reports and put special alerts and/or freezes on your credit. Contact each credit bureau individually (or visit their websites) for details.
Finally, you can submit a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or contact the Nevada Attorney General’s Office, or that of your state.
