In 2024 alone, Americans lost more than $16 billion to online scams and fraud, with the average victim losing nearly $19,000. The FBI received over 55,000 reports of sextortion cases, and phishing attacks led to data breaches costing businesses an average of $4.88 million. Online scams, phishing emails, fake websites, malicious links, romance scams, investment scams, crypto fraud, and deepfakes aren’t just headlines — they’re problems that affect real people every day.
