Report a scam or deceptive business practice
Oregon Department of Justice · Shared Oregon or applicable federal route
Locate the Oregon consumer-protection complaint route and the specialized options for charity or Medicaid fraud.
Where and how to proceed: prepare, file and follow up
Start here: Read DOJ’s reporting page and choose consumer, charity or Medicaid fraud according to the facts.
1. Is this for me?
People reporting suspected scams or deceptive conduct involving Oregon consumers or businesses. DOJ determines the appropriate division and jurisdiction.
Service area: Oregon or applicable federal route; confirm venue and agency jurisdiction.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
- Read DOJ’s reporting page and choose consumer, charity or Medicaid fraud according to the facts.
- For a consumer transaction, collect the agreement, payment record and communications and describe prior attempts to resolve it.
- Use the relevant official complaint route and provide accurate details without sending original documents.
- Retain the complaint and confirmation and seek separate legal advice about recovery or a court deadline.
Timing: Report promptly; a report does not stop a lawsuit, preserve every claim or ensure money is recovered.
4. What will it cost?
Details to confirm with the provider
Fees and fee-waiver eligibility have not been separately verified for this route. Check the current provider instructions. For a court filing, ask the court about its fee-waiver or deferral forms.
5. What happens after I submit?
Details to confirm with the provider
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Details to confirm with the provider
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
Consumer enforcement is not a general business-to-business contract court. Use counsel or a suitable civil process for private partnership and commercial disputes.
