Fraud Reporting FAQ

How do I report government fraud online?

Start with the United States Fraud Watch reporting form above. Provide the business name, address, estimated loss, and upload on-site photos. After submitting, file an official complaint with the appropriate Inspector General—such as the HHS OIG, DOJ Fraud Section, or your state watchdog agency.

What counts as government project fraud?

Government project fraud includes billing for construction or infrastructure work that never took place, falsifying inspection records, or diverting grant funds away from approved expenses. Document the contract number, agency name, and any visible evidence (like empty worksites) before reporting.

How can I report welfare or childcare subsidy fraud?

Use state child care assistance portals—such as Minnesotas DHS fraud tip line— and include documentation from USAspending.gov or Transparency MN showing irregular payments. Our portal helps you gather evidence before contacting law enforcement.

Can I stay anonymous when reporting public corruption?

Yes. You can omit contact information in our form and, when reaching out to agencies, request confidentiality. Federal systems like GAO FraudNet accept anonymous submissions.

Our Commitment to Fairness

Fraud harms every American, regardless of race, nationality, or creed. United States Fraud Watch documents misconduct by any individual or organization siphoning public resources. Reports targeting a community without credible evidence will be removed.

Guiding Principles

  • Evidence over prejudice: Focus on verifiable transactions and behaviors.
  • Safety for whistleblowers: We are building secure, anonymous submission methods.
  • Collaboration with authorities: Confirmed cases are escalated to appropriate oversight agencies.
