WiredSafety.org

WiredSafety.org is an excellent resource for numerous types of cybercrime.  In fact, they claim to be the largest online Internet safety group in the world.
 
WiredSafety provides help, information and education to Internet and mobile device users of all ages. We handle cases of cyberabuse ranging from identity and credential theft, online fraud and cyberstalking, to hacking and malicious code attacks.
 
This website is enormous, so it can be a little tedious, perhaps, to find exactly where you want to go.  Here's a brief guide to a few crucial locations.  Some I have actually visited directly in my research, so I have some personal experience using their data.
 
 
These are but three major groups.  There are several other large and very busy groups and an enormous amount of information on this website.  Besides having helplines that are rumored to do most of the reporting work for you, the good people at WiredSafety also take volunteer help and donations.
 
Give them a look if you're having a cybercrime related problem first, and if you're not personally having a problem, consider volunteering or making a donation to a very good cause.

wiredsafety got back to me within 24hours. before contacting them, make sure that you've reported cyberstalking to your local police and try your local FBI cyberstalking unit. And download, document everything the stalker puts on the web or in your email.
