The National Human Trafficking Hotline will never make unsolicited phone calls or send letters through the mail requesting personally identifiable information or asking for money using the 1-888-373-7888 number. Should you receive such a call or letter, please report it to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477) or by visiting tips.hhs.gov. “Spoofing,” as the email address implies, is a common name for this kind of scam.

Important Notice
Compass Connections is honored to assume operations of the National Human Trafficking Hotline. We are working closely with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Polaris to ensure a smooth and coordinated transition. To ensure there are no lapses in services, the handoff of the Hotline communication channels including SMS, chat, and the toll-free number is being conducted in a phased approach over the next month, with full operational transition anticipated in December.
During this transition period, our joint focus with HHS and Polaris remains on maintaining survivor safety, confidentiality, and continuous access to critical services. We appreciate the patience and support of the Hotline partners and stakeholders throughout this process. Once the transition is complete, Compass Connections will begin engaging with partners and stakeholders to strengthen collaboration and continue our shared commitment to supporting survivors and combating human trafficking.
