The Report Builder
One form. Three documents. Fill in what happened once — and get a formal complaint, a complaint email ready for your bank or exchange, and print-ready legal drafts for a police report, an FTC/IC3 filing and a demand letter.
Formal complaint
Scam-type specific, structured, factual.
Complaint email
Sized for bank fraud teams and exchange compliance.
Police report draft
Statement format officers can transcribe.
Demand letter
Formal request sent to a held account or platform.

Who is filing
Step 02 — The incident
What happened
Required: your name and a valid amount. Everything else improves the document.
Five documents, and the job each one does
Different recipients act on different paperwork. Sending the right document to the right desk is most of the work.
Formal complaint
A structured statement of facts with a timeline, payment detail and evidence list. This is the document you attach to everything else.
Send to: your bank's fraud desk · exchange compliance · your attorney
Complaint email
A short, firm cover email that gets your complaint routed to a human instead of a queue. Written to be read in thirty seconds.
Send to: bank fraud team · exchange support · payment provider
Police report draft
A first-person statement in the order officers record it. Bring it printed — most departments will transcribe from it directly.
Send to: your local police · cybercrime unit
FTC / IC3 complaint
Structured text for the online forms. Both portals have character limits — this version is trimmed to fit their narrative fields.
Send to: IC3.gov · ReportFraud.ftc.gov · your state AG
Demand letter
A formal written request to a platform or institution holding the account, asking them to preserve records and freeze the balance.
Send to: exchange compliance · receiving bank · platform legal
What these cannot do
No template can compel a bank to refund you, and none of these documents replace a lawyer. They exist to make your case legible to people who process hundreds of claims a week.
Remember: never pay an upfront recovery fee.
Documents filed within 24 hours have the best chance.
Whether or not funds come back, a documented, timestamped complaint protects you — and it is the first thing any investigator will ask for.
