Report spam and suspicious activity

Reporting a suspicious phone number, domain, link, email domain, or SMS sender helps everyone else who receives the same contact find that signal reflected on AlertaSpam. A report here does not replace an official complaint to the authorities — if you lost money or data, also contact your bank and your country's reporting channel.

A report on AlertaSpam is a community signal, not a legal complaint. For legal action or recovering lost money, contact your bank and your country's consumer-fraud or cybercrime authority.

How to report each type of suspicious contact

## Reporting a suspicious phone number

If you received a suspicious call or text, choose "Phone number" and enter the number in international format if possible (e.g. +12025550143).

Reporting a suspicious domain

Choose "Domain" and enter only the domain, without `https://` or the path after the slash — for example `bank-verification-example.com`.

Reporting a link

Choose "Link / URL" and paste the full address. If you just want to check it without reporting it yet, use the link checker first.

Reporting a fraudulent email or SMS

For an email, report the email domain (the part after the @), never the full address. For an SMS, choose "SMS sender" and enter the name exactly as it appears in your inbox.

This does not replace an official complaint

AlertaSpam is not a legal authority. If you lost money, contact your bank first; if you believe a crime was committed, also report it to the police or your country's cybercrime agency.
