Every year thousands of people succumb to a scam, giving up their identities or their money.
The FBI releases an annual report based on its Internet Crime Complaint Center where it breaks down the complaints, where they’re from, and the amount of money lost.

New York had the 18th highest amount of scam victims with an average of nearly $11,500 lost per victim.
