1. 1

   Report insurance fraud

   Call State Farm, or the National Insurance Crime Bureau hotline on 800-835-6422, which spells 800-TEL-NICB.

2. 2

   Report the message in your own app

   Report a fraudulent email as phishing or spam to your email provider and delete it. On iMessage use Delete and Report Junk. On Google Messages use Block and report spam.

3. 3

   Change your State Farm password

   If you think you were scammed, State Farm asks you to change the account password immediately and watch your account activity for unusual transactions.

4. 4

   Place a fraud alert and tell the FTC

   Contact the credit reporting agencies to place a fraud alert. State Farm gives the FTC on 877-438-4338, which spells 877-IDTHEFT, and your local or state police if funds or property were stolen.

• Your policy or claim number
• The message and where it came from
• The date and amount of anything paid

The NICB handles insurance fraud across the industry rather than just State Farm. Money already sent is recovered through your bank, not the insurer.
