Help & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how fraud complaints are handled in Utah.

If money has just left your account or your identity was compromised:

  1. Contact your financial institution immediately to freeze compromised accounts or reverse wire transactions.
  2. File a police report with your local Utah municipal police department or county sheriff's office.
  3. Freeze your credit with the three major bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).
  4. File a complaint with the appropriate Utah agency listed in the directory above.

Many Utah agencies (such as the Office of the State Auditor Hotline, Division of Securities, and Utah SIAC) accept anonymous tips. However, providing contact information allows investigators to follow up for essential documentation needed for formal prosecution.

Local law enforcement investigates criminal theft within their municipal or county boundaries. State agencies (like the Division of Consumer Protection or Insurance Department) hold regulatory authority to revoke commercial licenses, issue administrative fines, take statewide civil enforcement actions, and coordinate complex multi-jurisdictional criminal prosecutions with the Utah Attorney General's Office.

To help state investigators build the strongest possible case, gather:

  • Dates, times, and methods of all communications (emails, text messages, phone call logs).
  • Contracts, invoices, receipts, and advertising materials.
  • Bank statements, cancelled checks, credit card statements, or cryptocurrency wallet addresses.
  • Names, business entities, phone numbers, and physical addresses of the suspect(s).
