How to report phone and online fraud in Algeria
In Algeria, online scams can be reported to the national police or the gendarmerie on their free numbers.
National police (Sûreté nationale)
Free number 1548.
Gendarmerie nationale
Free number 1055.
Before you report, anywhere
- Delete nothing: screenshot messages and calls so the number, date and time show.
- Save the scammer’s profile or page link (not just the name) and receipts for any money sent.
- If money left your account, call your bank first to block the card or account, then report.
- Don’t pay a blackmailer or keep talking to them, and change your passwords from your own device.
- Look the number up on Wikinumber and write a short note so others are warned.
