Build a report
they can act on.
Most scam reports get filed and go nowhere, because they arrive without the details an investigator needs. This puts yours in order.

Recall of a transfer is far more likely in the first 24 hours than at any point afterwards. Call the number on the back of your card — not any number you were given by the person who contacted you. In the UK you can dial 159 to reach most major banks' fraud lines directly. Come back and finish this afterwards.
Your report
Do these in this order
Order matters more than speed. Filing with the police before calling your bank costs you the recall window.
Paste this into the free-text or "describe what happened" field of the official form. Read it through first and correct anything that reads wrong — it is your statement, not ours.
One last thing. Once a scam report is filed, your details may circulate among the same networks. If anyone contacts you afterwards offering to recover your money for a fee, or claiming to be from the agency you just filed with, treat it as a second scam. Agencies do not charge, and they do not cold-call asking for payment.
