# 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!
|
||||
|
||||
**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.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Submit the scammer's wallet address to [Xrplorer's forensics team](https://xrplorer.com/forensics/submit).
|
||||
2. Report your case to your local law enforcement. If the scammer is caught, this may allow you to get your money back.
|
||||
3. If the scammer sent XRP to an exchange, be sure to contact the exchange's support team. The exchange can freeze the scammer's account at the exchange. Here are support links for a few popular exchanges:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Binance](https://www.binance.com/en/support)
|
||||
- [Coinbase](https://help.coinbase.com/)
|
||||
- [Uphold](https://support.uphold.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)
|
||||
- [Bitrue](https://www.bitrue.com/exchange-web/footer/contactus.html)
|
||||
|
||||
4. If the scammer exchanged XRP for another token on the XRP Ledger, contact the token's issuer. The issuer may be able to [freeze the scammer's trust line](freeze-a-trust-line.html) to prevent the scammer from sending those tokens to others.
