About NFED

Our mission to protect communities from fraud

Our Mission

NFED (National Fraud Education Database) is dedicated to helping people document suspected scams and fraud, allowing communities to learn from reported incidents and protect themselves from financial crimes.

We believe that shared information is a powerful tool in the fight against fraud. By providing a platform where people can report their experiences and learn from others, we aim to reduce the impact of scams on individuals and communities.

What We Do

Document Fraud

We provide a secure platform for documenting scam reports with detailed information and evidence.

Maintain Database

We maintain a searchable database of verified scam reports to help others identify potential fraud.

Educate

We provide educational resources about common scams and how to protect yourself.

Build Community

We create a community of informed consumers who help protect each other from fraud.

What We Are Not

NFED is an information and education platform. We are not:

  • A government agency or law enforcement organization
  • A bank or financial institution
  • An official recovery authority
  • A legal service provider

We cannot recover lost funds, guarantee refunds, arrest scammers, or guarantee successful investigations. We strongly encourage reporting fraud to your local law enforcement and relevant authorities.

How We Operate

NFED operates as a community-driven platform where:

  • Users submit reports of suspected scams
  • Our team reviews submissions for completeness and appropriateness
  • Approved reports are published to our public database
  • Visitors can search and learn from published reports

We take privacy seriously and never publish sensitive personal information from reports.
