The White House has rolled out a new encrypted fraud reporting portal at America.gov/fraud, promising that tips go straight from a citizen's browser to the Treasury Department with the option to remain anonymous. The tool, posted by the official @RapidResponse47 account, streamlines what was once a lengthy, secretive process and offers whistleblowers up to $30,000 for information that leads to recovered funds.
From Lawsuits to a Simple Form
"Reporting fraud used to mean filing a lawsuit in secret and waiting years for a result," the portal states. "Now your report goes to the right office the moment you submit it." The page instructs users to describe what happened in a few sentences: what they saw, who was involved, and when the fraud occurred. They can then attach up to five documents or photos before submitting.
The submission process includes a review step: "We'll compile a report. Check the details, fix anything that's off, and attach up to 5 documents or photos." After submission, users receive a reference number and can download a copy of their report.
Agencies Track Recoveries Since January 2025
Since January 2025, partner agencies have been reporting how much fraud they uncovered, how much they stop each year, and how much they recovered. The portal explains that each federal office handles different kinds of fraud, and the system reads the submission and matches it to the agency best situated to act. "We send your report to the federal office that can act on it," the page confirms.
"It's encrypted, your name is optional, and you may be eligible for up to $30,000," the portal concludes, emphasizing both security and a direct financial incentive for whistleblowers who report wrongdoing.
