Almost half a billion dollars were lost because of online criminal activity. 300,000 complaints were addressed to the FBI last year. The most common scams included FBI-related schemes in which a criminal poses as the FBI to defraud victims, identity theft, and advance-fee fraud. Victims in California reported the highest dollar losses, at $70.5 million. Almost 15 people a day get caught by the romance scam, and each victim loses on average $8,900 because of love.”]
