How It Works
From report to group lawsuit β here's how Apgavo helps you seek justice.
Report a Scammer
Start by clicking "Report a Scammer". Choose whether the scammer is an individual or a company, then add identifiers like their name, phone number, email, IBAN, social media profiles, or any other details you have. The more identifiers you provide, the easier it is to match your report with other victims of the same scammer.
File a Complaint
Once you've created a scammer profile, file a detailed complaint. Select the scam category, describe what happened, enter the date and your financial losses. Be as specific as possible β detailed complaints with clear amounts are essential for building a viable legal case.
Upload Evidence
Strengthen your case by uploading supporting evidence. This can include screenshots of conversations, payment receipts, emails, contracts, or any other relevant files. Documents are processed and summarized automatically. Strong evidence is critical β it's what makes the difference between a report and a court-ready case.
Track Your Reports
Your dashboard shows all scammers you've reported along with the number of complaints filed against each. You can view details, edit complaints, add more identifiers, or upload additional documents at any time. Each complaint has a status β pending, verified, or rejected β so you always know where things stand.
Group Lawsuit Evaluation
When enough victims report the same scammer and the total damages reach a threshold that makes legal action viable, our partner law firm evaluates the case. If the case is strong enough, all affected reporters will be notified by email with a group lawsuit proposal. You decide whether to join β there's no obligation.
Scam Categories
We cover a wide range of scam types: investment fraud, romance scams, phishing attacks, marketplace fraud, identity theft, and more. Each category helps organize reports and identify patterns. If your experience doesn't fit a predefined category, you can always select "Other" and describe the situation in your own words.
