# Fraud Reporting ## Identification [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] is the U.S. federal investigative agency; [[Internet Crime Complaint Center|IC3]] is its online intake mechanism for internet-enabled crime complaints; [[United States Department of Justice|DOJ]] is the cabinet department that routes federal fraud reporting and prosecution resources. The telephone channels are intentionally not reproduced. ## Notebook evidence - [[Scanned_20260730-1659#PDF page 2 — Federal fraud-reporting contacts and IC3|PDF page 2: Federal fraud-reporting contacts and IC3]] — This page establishes an **incident-response front door**. `ic3.gov` is the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, the federal intake portal for suspected internet-enabled crime; the DOJ separately routes fraud reports by category. The copied telephone channels show the author building redundant escalation paths rather than relying on one website. The page likely predates or accompanies a specific fraud concern, but no victim, transaction, or allegation is identified here. ## Relationships and overlays The source places this record in an evidence cluster with [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|Federal Bureau of Investigation]] · [[Internet Crime Complaint Center|Internet Crime Complaint Center]] · [[United States Department of Justice|United States Department of Justice]]. The occurrence contributes to the notebook's larger model of [[Identity Continuity|identity continuity]], [[Device Sovereignty|device sovereignty]], and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]]. ## Evidentiary status and open leads Recover the precipitating incident, complaint number, or adjacent correspondence; preserve the distinction between IC3 intake and DOJ category routing. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1659|Scanned_20260730-1659]]
