IFCC's mission is to address fraud committed over the Internet. For victims of Internet fraud, IFCC provides a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of a suspected criminal or civil violation.
For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at all levels, IFCC offers a central repository for complaints related to Internet fraud, works to quantify fraud patterns, and provides timely statistical data of current fraud trends.

Tried it, hated it. Probably good for the simpler fraud complaints (and where you can't trace the principals), but a nightmare for anything that doesn't follow (a)(b)(c). I just picked up the phone and called the local Bureau, and they asked me to bring in my documentation and a chronolgy.
But don't get me wrong - I'm certainly glad there's a central clearinghouse for complaints, and I understand why the forms have to be set up the way they are.

Just so we differentiate between "fraud" and "stalking". One law/jurisdiction/law enforcement group does not cover both situations.
