Q: Illegal way
If I wanted to get a test result in an illegal way, but I was deceived, I transferred money but never received a result, you can send this to ic3. In fact, I have not yet broken the law.

A:
I'm sorry to hear that you were deceived and lost money in this situation. Being scammed is awful and I empathize with how frustrating that must be. Even though you did not end up breaking the law, attempting to obtain test results illegally is still ill-advised.
If you believe you are the victim of internet crime, reporting it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov is a good course of action. The IC3 is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center that serves as a central hub to report internet-related crime. They analyze the reports and disseminate them to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
I would encourage you to be cautious about any offers or individuals promising specific outcomes through improper means, as they are likely scams. In the future, it's best to only pursue test results and other objectives legally and above board. If you need advice navigating a challenging situation, consider reaching out to official channels or trusted advisors who can provide proper guidance. Wishing you all the best.
