Guam scam numbers

FTC, 2024. The FTC's 2024 state tables do not list Guam, so we don't show FTC numbers here.

These numbers only count people who reported. Many people don't, so real losses are likely higher. FTC figures come from unverified consumer reports, not a survey.

Scams Guam officials are warning about

• Fake grants and post-typhoon fraud. In July 2026, after Typhoon Bavi, Guam Homeland Security said it had reports of social media posts using local photos to offer "tax-free grant programs," and phishing emails posing as real people selling items. It also warned about fake contractors, fake government and utility workers, and fake charities. If a group you'd never heard of before the typhoon reaches out, check them out first. It advised getting a written contract. Never pay up front, even "for materials," and never pay by wire, gift card, or crypto. (GHS/OCD JIC Recovery Release No. 22, July 13, 2026)
• Phishing emails with document links. In February 2026, Guam Homeland Security warned about a phishing email asking people to click a link to "documents." It said fake emails often pose as IT requests, payroll updates, or unpaid invoices. Check the sender's address closely, since scammers use lookalike domains. Watch for panic phrases like "your account will be shut off in 1 hour." Don't click; report it and delete it. (GHS/OCD press release, Feb. 13, 2026)

What to do right now

1. Stop all contact. Don't answer posts offering "tax-free grants," and ask anyone at your door for official ID.
2. Call your bank or card company and ask whether the payment can be stopped or reversed.
3. Change passwords on any account the scammer touched, and turn on two-step login.
4. Save proof: screenshots, texts, emails, call logs, receipts, and phone numbers.
5. Report it to the state agency listed above, plus the FTC or IC3.
6. Beware of "recovery" offers. A request for a fee to get your money back is a common warning sign of a recovery scam.
