# Report a Scam
If you've been scammed, make sure to collect as much information as you can about the scam and scammer as soon as possible!
In an evolving industry where trust and security are critical, scams continue to impede progress in crypto and blockchain. Individuals and teams across the XRP Ledger community, like the Xrplorer forensics team, help mitigate these scammers by providing free tools to report scams.
**Caution:** Please be aware that _no one_ can freeze accounts or revert transactions on the ledger. This is a consequence of the censorship-resistant design of the XRP Ledger blockchain.
