How law enforcement can get involved

The National Consumers League maintains a Fraud Alert System (FAS) for the benefit of accredited law enforcement agencies. The FAS is designed to automatically forward complaints received by Fraud.org that meet certain criteria to the proper investigative agency. The FAS is used by more than 90 federal, state, local and international law enforcement agencies. For more information on becoming a FAS member, please contact the National Consumers League by phone at (202) 835-3323 or by email at info@nclnet.org.
