Seeking Victim Information in Credit Card Fraud Investigation

If you have been directed to this questionnaire via an FBI victim notification letter, it is because you have been identified as having been the victim or potential victim of identity fraud and/or credit card fraud.

The FBI’s Cleveland Field Office has identified a credit card fraud ring that has been using stolen identities and credit card information to make purchases in stores and online in Ohio and surrounding states.

The FBI is requesting that you review your credit card transactions from January 1, 2017 until present for any unauthorized charges made using your credit card information. If you have already identified unauthorized charges and notified authorities, the FBI is requesting that you still take the time to complete this questionnaire, as any information you are able to provide may be helpful to the ongoing investigation.

You may have already given this information to an FBI agent or police agency, but please provide it again on this questionnaire. The FBI will provide you with information on resources available to victims. Based on your responses, you may be contacted by the FBI and asked to provide additional information.
