# UK - Reporting Cyber Crime

To begin with, you'll need to report the crime to Action Fraud. Action Fraud is a reporting body for UK police. Whilst they do not investigate the crime themselves, they will collate all the data and hand it over to the relevant authorities in your local region. As a UK citizen, we recommend doing all of the following.

### Report to Action Fraud

Every crime should be reported. You can begin by calling your local police station and using this page to report the crime!
