The IC3, is supposed to take their forms you fill out, semen them, and send them off to the proper authorites they deem fit to help you with cybercrimes. This is the FBI's way of handling their inundated amount of cyber complaints. It would be very nice, and make you feel safe again, If they bothered to respond at all. I am currently being physically stalked and cyberstalked as well as hacked where every website, email, phone conversation, text message is read, and most discussed by the SOBs that do it across the street, but have no way of proving it without professional assistance. They also have ways of looking into each and every room of my apartment as they laugh and discuss everything they see. Virus softwares Malware software, hidden app software nothing works. Physical RF finders do find something but what am I supposed to do start punching holes in the walls everywhere the units beep? I have contacted the IC3 ELEVEN times, each form I was able to submit did go through, as I have received confirmation, but its ban over 7 months and have not received a response from ANY authoratative entity whatsoever. These creeps are breaking so many laws by doing what they do, they don't realize it, don't want to believe it, and I need help to try and stop it. I have found 23 civil and 4 federal laws they are breaking and I can't get a response from the FBI. Illielieve my next step is to go into my local field office and speak to a receptionist to get an appointment with an agent. In the interim, If there is ANYONE who has any advice on how to end this absoulute nightmare come the, 365 days a year for FOUR years, please help! Thanks. Thinking of contacting the IC3? Don't waste your time.
Don't bother.

The site explains how to file a complaint, preserve evidence and gives advice on future protection.
Their own explanation of ic3 follows:
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) was established as a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) to serve as a means to receive Internet related criminal complaints and to further research, develop, and refer the criminal complaints to federal, state, local, or international law enforcement and/or regulatory agencies for any investigation they deem to be appropriate. The IC3 was intended, and continues to emphasize, serving the broader law enforcement community to include federal, as well as state, local, and international agencies, which are combating Internet crime and, in many cases, participating in Cyber Crime Task Forces.
Since its inception, the IC3 has received complaints crossing the spectrum of cyber crime matters, to include online fraud in its many forms including Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) matters, Computer Intrusions (hacking), Economic Espionage (Theft of Trade Secrets), Online Extortion, International Money Laundering, Identity Theft, and a growing list of Internet facilitated crimes. Since June 2000, it has become increasingly evident that, regardless of the label placed on a cyber crime matter, the potential for it to overlap with another referred matter is substantial. Therefore, the IC3, formerly known as the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (Internet Fraud Complaint Center), was renamed in October 2003 to better reflect the broad character of such matters having an Internet, or cyber, nexus referred to the IC3, and to minimize the need for one to distinguish "Internet Fraud" from other potentially overlapping cyber crimes.
IC3 Mission Statement
IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local, and international level, IC3 provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.
Significant and supplemental to partnering with law enforcement and regulatory agencies, it will remain a priority objective of the IC3 to establish effective alliances with industry. Such alliances will enable the IC3 to leverage both intelligence and subject matter expert resources, pivotal in identifying and in crafting an aggressive, proactive approach to combating cyber crime.
