FRAUD FACTS

In the past year Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington County residents reported 18,441 complaints with a $36,329,776 amount paid or lost. The top complaints involved business imposters, government imposters, unsolicited text messages and emails, and online shopping. If you are a victim of fraud, file a police report, then also file a fraud complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or an ID Theft report and obtain a recovery plan. If the fraud involves the internet, you can file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center. Our Property Crime Detectives have access to both databases and can use them when identifying additional victims related to a subject of an investigation.
