A calm reporting sequence for contacting the issuer, payment provider, platform, and relevant authorities.

1. Contact the issuer

Use the number or website printed on the card or listed on the issuer’s official page. Say the card was used in a scam.

2. Contact the payment provider

If money also moved through a bank, transfer service, or payment app, report it there and keep the case reference.

3. Report the account

Report the profile, phone number, email, website, and copied brand assets where the contact occurred.

4. File an official report

Use the fraud reporting service available in your jurisdiction. The FTC provides an international reference and issuer list.

Official and primary sources

Issuer policies can change. Open the source before making a decision that depends on current redemption or support terms.
