You can report Internet scams to the FBI. Unfortunately, most of them are done by individuals outside the U. S. and there's not much that can be done.

You can file a report with the police or if you used a credit card file a dispute with them right away so you can get a charge back.

You can report it to the local police and have a criminal file started. You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Try to gather as much information as you can about the person or company, including the website, the service/product and how you paid for your items.

Report it to the Federal Trade Commission, if you have a company name. Report it to your local police department, especially if your personal information was given in the transaction. A police report is essential if you are a victim of identity theft or unauthorized use of the your credit card number.
