How to Report Fraud to the SEC
Reporting fraud to the SEC is quite easy and, unlike many government agencies, the SEC makes it really easy for you to report fraud.
Online form: If you want to report a complaint of some kind, you can use their online form. This can be anything from a problem with your brokerage firm or broker to cold calls to outright “fraud in the marketing of a securities trading course, program or similar product.” They have nearly all the bases covered.
Email: If you’re not sure that fraud is occurring, you can simply email enforcement@sec.gov with your concerns. If you received SPAM, you can forward it to enforcement@sec.gov and they will deal with it.
Paper form: Finally, if you don’t want to use the online form, you can always print out a paper form or write a letter and mail it to: SEC Complaint Center, 100 F Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20549-0213. You can also send a fax to 202-772-9295.
