Good to know

If you live in Scotland, report via Police Scotland on 101 instead. Phone lines can be less available between 8pm and 8am. If a business or charity is under a live cyber attack, the site gives the same number to call straight away.

Before you call

They can

take your report online at any time, or by phone on 0300 123 2040, available 24 hours a day with less cover from 8pm to 8am
take reports by textphone on 0300 123 2050 if you are deaf or hard of hearing
take your report in your own language through a separate service
let you track your report online if you registered when you made it

They cannot

take reports from people who live in Scotland: report via Police Scotland on 101
take reports or supporting documents by post
be free to call: it costs your standard rate, and from a mobile with no minutes left about 35p a minute, so report online if a call would cost you
ask you for your bank details: the site says Report Fraud will never request them. If a caller who says they are Report Fraud makes you unsure, hang up and call 0300 123 2040 yourself
