Should You Report Scam Emails And Texts? (2026/701)

We all receive scam emails and dodgy text messages, but most of us just delete them and move on.

The problem is, when scams go unreported, the scammers keep running the same tricks on the next person and the next.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why reporting scams matters and how it feeds into the bigger intelligence picture
✅ Real results - over 7,500 scam websites taken down in Australia in 2025 alone
✅ Where to report scams in Australia (Scamwatch, ReportCyber) and the US (FTC, IC3)
✅ Why business owners need that paper trail for banks, insurers and compliance
✅ Which scams are worth the five minutes it takes to lodge a report

Your single report might not feel like much, but it could be the one that connects enough dots to stop someone else from getting caught.
