What information is needed when reporting fraud?

You'll need to provide as much information as possible regarding the suspect and the details of the fraudulent activity. The more information you can provide, the better DMV can determine whether a crime has been committed. Examples of helpful information include:

Who committed the fraud? (name, address and phone number if possible)
What did the suspect do?
Where did the fraud take place?
When did it happen?
How was the fraud committed?
Who else has knowledge of the fraud?

Is the Zero Fraud hotline anonymous?

Yes. You do not have to provide your name; however, to be eligible for a cash reward, you'll need to provide your contact information. The information you provide by telephone or email will remain confidential and could be worth up to $1,000 in a cash award.

Zero Fraud is the collaborative effort of Virginia's Operation Integrity Task Force. Partners include the Office of the Attorney General, Virginia State Police (VSP), Virginia Sheriff's Association, Virginia Chiefs of Police Association, Virginia Association of Commonwealth Attorneys and DMV.
