The United States government has published a centralised resource on the FBI's official website, outlining seven categories of crime that members of the public can report through dedicated online portals.
The FBI's electronic tip form serves as the primary gateway for reporting federal crimes and tips related to terrorist activity. The page makes clear that the form is not intended for emergencies, directing anyone facing an immediate threat to call 911 instead.

7 crime categories listed by US government
Beyond the main FBI tip form, the page links to six additional government platforms, each covering a specific area of criminal activity. The full list of reportable crime categories includes:
- Federal crimes and terrorist activity: Reported directly through the FBI tip form
- Cyber-enabled crime: Drected to IC3.gov, the Internet Crime Complaint Center
- Crimes against children and minors: Handled by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)
- Fraud: Routed through the Department of Justice
- Drug-related offences: Reported to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
- Suspicious activities: Submitted via the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
- Tax-related crimes: Directed to the US Department of the Treasury
How to submit tip to US FBI
The FBI advises anyone submitting a tip to be as specific as possible. Useful details include website URLs, app names, usernames, and the date and time of any relevant post or activity. The page also asks users to submit information only once to avoid duplication.
The structure of the resource reflects the US government's effort to streamline how the public engages with law enforcement across a wide range of criminal matters, ensuring tips reach the agency best placed to act on them.

As authorities search for the man known to have evaded capture through a tangled web of identities, the $10,000 reward for information on his whereabouts adds an urgent layer to this unfolding story of deceit and evasion.
