Report Spam, Scams, Hoaxes and Fraudulent E-mails
Report unsolicited commercial e-mails, scams, hoaxes, chain letters, offensive e-mails or any suspicious looking e-mail to Cyber Top Cops if you really want something to be done about it. To effectively investigate and research spam, we require the e-mail header of the e-mail. But that is not the only thing we are interested in. When a new type of scam is discovered, we publish it in the Hoaxes and Scams section of our web site and through your help we are able to warn billions of other Internet users about similar e-mails. We give a complete analysis about the dangers and common characteristics of the e-mail and help other Internet users, like you, to identify variants of the same type of e-mail. We take special care to remove any personal information like names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, banking details, etc. from the e-mails, because when we publish information about a scam e-mail, we focus on the pattern and the finer details of the e-mail and not the recipients or source of the e-mail. It is important to us to educate the public on how to identify spam, hoaxes and e-mail scams and you are helping us achieve that goal by reporting any kind of spam to us.
Why do we want your spam and how do we use it?
