Common questions
Got a call from "Amazon" asking you to install AnyDesk for a refund?
No legitimate Amazon refund ever requires you to install remote-access software. The caller wants to watch your screen while they move money out of your bank. Read what to do →
A "police officer" on video call says you are under "digital arrest"?
India has no such thing as "digital arrest." Real police never demand money over a video call and never ask you to stay on the line until you transfer funds. Read what to do →

This is almost always a second scam targeting people on victim lists. The FBI, FTC and IC3 do not charge fees and never refer victims to private recovery agents. Read what to do →
