The Indianapolis Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has established two hotlines to receive complaints from the public regarding public corruption and mortgage fraud matters.
Public Corruption is the FBI's top criminal investigative priority and is the fourth overall investigative priority. Many of the investigations begin with tips from the public. This hotline is designed to make it easier for the public to report public corruption.
The FBI views mortgage fraud as a significant and growing crime problem and an area of concern. "We are constantly adapting our investigative techniques to combat mortgage fraud since criminals are always looking for new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and devise new schemes to defraud", stated Special Agent in Charge Michael S. Welch.
Anyone with information concerning mortgage fraud or public corruption in the Indianapolis area can call the following numbers:
Mortgage Fraud: 219-650-6279
Public Corruption: 219-650-6230
