Email Phishing Scam Statistics 2025
Email phishing is as good a place to start as any other scam, so we’ll use this section to share some statistics related to email phishing.
Since this term is also known as simply phishing, we will use this term for the following stats.
1. An Estimated 90% of All Data Breaches Happened Because of Spear Phishing Emails.
Phishing emails are sent out as random mass emails with malicious scam links designed to harm your hard drive, and/or to get your personal identifiable information (PII) you have stored on it.
Spear phishing has the same result, but this scam targets a specific company or user. In other words, this scam is tailor made for the user.
The FBI reported that 90% of all cyber attacks related to data breaches occur because of spear phishing emails.
When a user clicks the link, the damage begins. These scammers often get to the user by disguising the email as coming from and benefiting a charitable, or non-profit organization.
Without proper knowledge, anyone can fall victim to phishing or spear phishing email scams.
2. 2017 Statistics Revealed that Close to 1.5 Million New Phishing Websites Are Created per Month.
What’s a phishing website?
It’s a site that is created to look exactly like a legitimate site, so you will feel comfortable inputting your information into the fields.
They are difficult to recognize because they look like a real company site. Some things to look for include missing forward dashes, spelling errors, and details that don’t look quite right in the URL.
If you’re not sure about a site, you can quickly search it on Google to find the real website and look at any scam sites related to it.
Whenever you are in doubt about a website, especially one sent to you via email, input the wrong password to see what happens.
3. in 2019, 65% of American Businesses Experienced Effective Phishing Attacks.
Though this data is from 2019, the issue hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s grown, and will likely continue to grow.
Phishing seems to be the easiest way for scammers and hackers to get your PII (personal identifiable information) or PHI (personal health information).
Since most people don’t recognize a phishing site that mimics an official and known site, logins occur, and information is stolen.
Most of them try to pass themselves off as companies that pull at your heartstrings, or have significance to email users.
Read number 3 to learn more about how to recognize a phishing website.
Also, as people start storing more and more of their information online, they also become apathetic and less worried about the information they share.
4. In 2021, 83% of Businesses Reported Phishing Email Attacks.
This 2021 figure represents a 46% increase over 2020.
It’s estimated that another six billion phishing emails will happen during 2022, which means further increases in successful phishing emails.
For a phishing email to be successful, the receiver must either click the malicious link, execute a requested wire transfer, provide their credentials in a reply email, or download malware hidden in the email.
5. An Estimated 15% of Successful Phishing Victims Are Targeted Again Within 12 Months of The First Attack.
Unfortunately, one person, entity, or business can suffer multiple phishing attacks over just one year.
According to online scam statistics, 15% of successful phishing victims receive at least one more phishing email within a year of the first one.
Some reasons that businesses and individuals experience multiple phishing attacks, successful or not, is that they don’t address the problem after the first attack.
Another problem comes from data breaches where emails are stolen and malicious emails are sent.
One thing that can help is to report any suspicious email and block it after the first attempt.
Victims of Scams Statistics 2025
Next, we will use this section to discuss how scams impact victims.
Remember, that online or offline, scams are not victimless crimes.
Let’s look at these statistics.
6. Out Of 81% of People Who Have Engaged with A Scam Website, 50% Said They Lost Money.
Scammers usually engage through emails, texts, or phone calls.
Few people who have fallen victim to a scam through one of these methods reported a money loss as a result.
For instance, 81% of survey participants who were exposed to a scam through a website said they engaged with the site, while 50% lost money.
This data shows that the method of contact has a correlation between engagement and monetary loss.
Of the 39% of survey respondents who were contacted via phone by a scammer, only 11% said they lost money.
Also, 42% of the respondents said they engaged with a scammer via email, while only 13% of the group said they lost money.
Of the 91% of participants who said they engaged via a social media scam, 53% claimed they lost money.
7. Each Year, 1 out Of Every 10 American Adults Are at High Risk of Being a Victim of Fraud.
In 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that fraud victims rose by 34%. Online is where the most instances of fraud occur.
One in ten American adults are susceptible to falling victim to some form of fraud each year.
Scammers and fraudsters use online resources like email and social media to attract their victims. However, some do so through phone calls or text messages.
Stats show that the scams most used include fake tax collections, phishing, fake debt collection, fake lotteries and sweepstakes, fake money orders or checks, employment, fake tech support, and online purchase scams.
8. Even Children Are Targets of Identity Theft.
One of the factors that have increased identity theft instances of children involves online gaming.
It seems this is one of the easiest methods that identity thieves use to target kids.
Stats reveal that 1.3 million children’s identities and PII are stolen each year. That’s a staggering number.
Since this data is self-reported, the FTC has recorded more than 22,833 instances of identity theft among individuals under 19 years old.
What’s worse is that this is a 63% increase since 2019 when 14,000 instances of identity theft among those under 19 were reported.
9. 12% of 38% of Survey Respondents Who Were Contacted by Debt Collection Scammers Suffered Monetary Losses.
For people who are in debt, fraudulent debt collection emails or phone calls can be stressful.
It’s easy to fall victim to the crime of fake debt collections. This kind of scam is one of the most lucrative and easiest for fraudsters to attempt.
One survey by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed that 12% of the 38% of survey respondents who engaged with a debt collection fraudster lost money.
While that’s a low percentage, it’s still too many. These fraudsters rake in the money off innocent and susceptible victims.
10. 23% of People Contacted by A Scammer Interacted with Them and Were Victimized.
A study by the Finra Foundation revealed that of those who were contacted by a scammer, only 23% engaged with them and were victimized by the scammer.
That means they lost money. This same study showed that 30% engaged, but were not victimized, which means they didn’t lose any money.
Even more significantly, 47% said they didn’t engage at all, and therefore they didn’t lose money.
Of all the survey respondents, 33 of them were unsure about the circumstances, and could not be categorized for the study.
Identity Theft Statistics 2025
This section will focus on identity theft types. We will address statistics based on the type of identity theft.
11. One of The Most Common Forms of Identity Theft Involves Tax Fraud.
Tax fraud maintains the third position for identity theft instances, at 38,967 reported instances in 2019 alone.
In this case, the scammer gains access to your social security number (SSN) and then uses it to file a fake tax return, hoping to get money from the IRS under the guise of a refund.
This is definitely not a victimless crime since it impacts the person and their identity, and it can result in other issues with the IRS when it’s not resolved.
These fraudsters will buy your information from hackers on the dark web to achieve their financial goals.
If you file your tax return and get a letter saying you’ve already filed, you have fallen victim to one of these scammers.
12. In The United States, 130,928 Credit Card Fraud Incidents Were Reported in 2018.
Roughly 40% of credit card reports were related to newly opened credit card accounts.
Also, between 2018 and 2019, identity theft for new credit card accounts went up by 24%.
Statistics about bank fraud revealed 23,219 reports where most were requests for new accounts.
The FTC report for 2019 showed that there were 157,688 credit card fraud cases reported, and another 52,529 bank fraud reports.
This was out of 444,602 total reported identity theft instances.
13. In 2021, Texas Experienced the Highest Number of Identity Theft Reports, Over 300,000.
Texas records show that there were 313,044 reports filed regarding identity theft in 2021, ranking it at 17 for identity theft reports.
That accounts for 1,080 per capita in incidents. However, Washington DC ranked 1st in identity theft per capita.
DC only had 12,004 reports, but that represented 1,701 per capita.
At the lower end of the spectrum of identity thefts, Puerto Rico came in at number 52 (last), with 8,315 identity theft reports, which accounts for 260 per capita for that region.
South Dakota came in 51st, with 4,854 reports, which came to 549 per capita. Number 50 was North Dakota with 4,63\ reports, representing 608 per capita.

Cell phone fraud made up the top five highest instances of identity theft, with 33,466 reports of incidents.
That represents 10.3% of all identity theft crimes. Utility scams are one of the most used reasons for the call. If you get such a call, hang up your phone.
What’s the purpose for using people’s phones to commit identity theft? It’s one way to obtain your personally identifiable information.
It’s also a method used by fraudsters to use your phone number to pretend to be you, to get money from contacts and others.
15. In 2018, There Were 87,765 Other Types of Identity Reported.
So, besides cell phone fraud calls, credit card fraud, and tax fraud identity theft types, 87,765 other forms of identity theft were reported in 2018 alone.
Medical records breaches and insurance identity theft instances were part of the “other” reported crimes.
We’ve talked about these fraud cases, but there are technically six types of Identity Theft that occur across all industries.
1) New account fraud
2) Account takeover fraud
3) Criminal identity theft
4) Medical identity theft
5) Commercial or business identity theft
6) Identity cloning.
Technically, credit card, phone, email, text, social media, and tax fraud and identity theft are the methods used to steal identities.
Identity Fraud Scam Statistics 2025
We’ve covered the types and methods of identity theft used by fraudsters, but now we will write about identity fraud scams.
Some of these are unthinkable, but they happen.
16. The FTC Revealed that A Total of $488 Million Was Lost Due to Imposter Scams.
In 2018, the FTC received 3 million complaints regarding fraud. Consumers alone reported losses of $1.4 billion due to fraud.
Imposter scams consist of over 535,000 complaints, making this identity theft type the most prevalent.

This scam represents 18% of all consumer fraud complaints.
17. In 2021, It Was Reported that An Identity Theft Incident Happened Every 14 Seconds.
Studies are showing that this figure will only increase over 2022, making it a much bigger problem for Americans.
As of now, identity theft incidents are already at record highs. This is happening because of the wider array of methods for identity theft being used.
While the simplest of methods like traditional identity theft are still in play, there are now more complex techniques like synthetic identity theft, which are on the rise.
Synthetic identity theft is harder to trace because scammers aren’t using fake profiles. Instead, they are mixing fake data with authentic data to create accounts.
18. 33% of Americans Have Experienced Some Type of Identity Theft in Their Lives.
Like it or not, over a third of Americans will experience identity theft at some point in their lives.
Identity thefts are almost 3 times higher in America than they are in other countries.
Experts are saying that this figure could be much larger over 2022.
We’ve been over the methods used to perpetrate identity theft, so you should know now that anyone can be targeted at any time.
Social media, phishing emails, text messages, credit card fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud, etc. are all potential ways to steal someone’s identity.
19. In 2019, $2.2 Million Worth of Identity Theft Complaints Were Reported to The FTC.
The money lost to identity theft has almost doubled in 2019. The primary reasons for this are thefts and imposter scams.

Identity theft is an invasive way to compromise a person’s data. You could be left having to start over due to losing a lot of money.
Not only can identity theft get you into major financial trouble, it can follow you for the rest of your life.
That’s why it’s recommended that you educate yourselves about these scammers before it happens.
20. The Total Costs Incurred by Identity Theft Between 2020 and 2022 Came to $56 Million.
Nearly half of all Americans fell victim to identity theft in some way between 2020 and 2022.
This heinous problem has cost them millions of dollars, but it’s also impacted their quality of life.
The precise amount of money lost to identity theft is unknown due to the differences in cases and the amounts of money involved.
For instance, in 2020, roughly $13 billion was related to traditional identity theft incidents.
Offline Scam Statistics 2025
Online scams aren’t the only way people steal your identity, get your information, or take money from you.
There are still some old school criminals out there that prefer to do things the “old fashioned” way/
21. Identity Theft Is Higher for Those Who Have Their Wallet Stolen Over Online Scams.
Some scammers are still using “old school” methods to steal identities.
Identity theft statistics show that even though online identity theft is on the rise, some criminals prefer to stay under the radar and steal your wallet, go through your trash, or steal your mail to get your identity.
They can get information from your driver’s license, bank statement, credit card statement, or other documents laying around your house or in your trash.
It doesn’t take a lot of information for a person to steal your identity and use your credit score to buy things.
Since it still takes time to track them down, they can get away with a lot of your money, and leave your credit score in shambles for years to come.
22. 58% of Criminals Are Still “old School” when It Comes to Scams.
We’ve already covered the fact that one out of every ten consumers will fall victim to a scam within the year.
However, not all scammers are taking advantage of technology and online resources to get to you.
There are still 58% of these criminals who use the old fashioned method of scamming people.
We already mentioned this to some extent in the above section, but we are going into a little more detail.
They still use the post office, telephone, face-to-face, and SMS messaging.
23. Doorstep, Face-To-Face Scams Account for 85% of All Scams on People Over 65.
Scammers tend to target the older population by going door-to-door in face-to-face scams.
They target people over 65 years old 85% more than they target anyone else.
As people get older, they become lonely and more vulnerable, which makes them the perfect target for scammers.
When the older population becomes more susceptible to scammers, they need people to be their voice.
They need friends and family to protect and comfort them. Let’s face it, aging doesn’t make you less smart, but it does make you less strong and more lonely.
24. 15% of Americans Claim They Have Fallen Victim to Card Skimming at The Gas Pump.
ATM skimmers are still used to steal your debit or credit card information.
They are also used at the fuel pump, so everyone should be aware when they are getting money from an ATM, and paying at the pump for petrol.
Due to skimming at the fuel pump, 43% of Americans have changed how they pay for gas.
Millennials are the most likely to change their paying habits for fuel. Women are also slightly more likely to switch their method of payment for gas.
The most common way they are changing paying for gas is by paying for fuel inside instead of at the pump.
25. Adults Over 60 Are Most Likely to Lose Money from A Tech Support Scam.
Adults over 60 are six times more likely to report money losses due to tech support scams.
This report is for 2019 to 2020, so this could be higher today. Older adults are a huge target for tech support scams.
Younger consumers who report money losses from a tech support scam are less likely to report it than their senior counterparts.
It seems that it’s all about perception and priorities.
Internet Fraud Scam Statistics 2025
This section will be all about Internet fraud and online scamming statistics.
You will recognize some of these, but maybe not all of them.
Let’s see what kinds of Internet frauds are going around these days.
26. The FBI Recovered $2.7 Billion in Cybercrime Losses Reported by Organizations in 2018.
Cybercrimes play a major role in huge financial losses for companies.
The FBI has a special task force called the Recovery Asset Team that investigates and tries to recover financial losses for businesses that have fallen victim to Internet scams.
In 2018, this task force recovered $2.7 billion, of which nearly half was due to email phishing.
The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received around 352,000 cybercrime complaints in 2017.
This center has averaged 300,000 reports of cybercrimes between 2014 and 2017.
27. Losses of Over $6.9 Billion Were Reported Due to Internet Crimes in 2021.
The annual Internet Crime Report issued by the FBI revealed that Internet crimes took a $2 billion plus hike from 2020.
The report includes the data about the most prevalent Internet crimes and scams.
In 2021, a total of 847,37 Internet scam complaints were filed. This is a 7% increase from the 2020 figure, but a massive 81% rise from 2019.
The top cybercrimes reported in 2021 were personal data breaches, phishing, and nonpayment/non delivery.
28. The 2021 Fbi Internet Crime Report Revealed that Phishing, Vishing, Pharming, and Smishing Accounted for The Most Cybercrime.
In 2021, a total of 323,972 phishing, vishing, pharming, and smishing scams were reported. In 2020, that number was 241,342.
If you go back to 2017, this Internet scam sector reported only 25,344 incidents.
We discussed phishing in detail in the section devoted to those type of statistics. We know that phishing involves fraudulent emails.
Vishing involves fraudulent phone calls to get personal information. Smishing involves fraudulent text messages to trick you into revealing your information.
Pharming is where a website’s traffic is manipulated and then confidential data is stolen.
29. Romance scams rose during the pandemic that caused online daters to lose millions.
Let’s put this Internet scam in perspective. In 2017, there were 17,000 romance scams reported with a total of $87 million in losses.
During the pandemic and into 2021, that figure is now up to 56,000 reported romance scams that have cost online daters over $547 million.
Romance scams happen when a criminal creates a fake online profile to get the attention and trust of a willing victim.
The scammer uses the illusion of having a close relationship or a romantic relationship to steal money and/or information from their victim.
30. In 2021, There Were 34,202 Complaints Reported to The Fbi Related to Cryptocurrency Scams.
Losses from these 34,202 complaints accounted for over $1.6 billion.
This figure is a massive jump from 2020, when it was just over $246 million.
Crypto scams are 60 times higher now than they were in 2018, according to online scams statistics.
It’s the perfect venue for scammers with no way to flag suspicious transactions and no regulation.
Ironically, the fact that it’s not a regulated currency is what makes it so popular. If anyone makes guarantees of huge returns in crypto, steer clear of them.
Catfishing Statistics 2024
This section is dedicated to catfishing statistics. What is catfishing?
This is a scam where a person makes a fictitious online profile and then goes to dating sites to seek relationships with a nefarious intention.
More often than not, they are creating romantic relationships through dating apps and websites where they can find lonely, vulnerable people.
That’s not the intention of dating sites or apps, by the way. Not all people who catfish online have a malicious agenda. Some are shy or lack self-esteem.
That said, let’s check out the statistics.
31. Over Half of Americans Fabricate Their Dating Profiles.
Let’s preface this by saying that not all fabricated accounts are scams. Some of them are perfectly innocent.
People will claim they are a little taller, thinner, or more attractive.
However, there are those who have a nefarious agenda to get revenge or cause emotional distress.
Then, there are those looking to make some illicit money.
American fabricated profiles are 9% higher than those in Britain, where they have fabricated 44% of the profiles.
32. In The First Quarter of 2022, Facebook Removed 1.6 Billion Fake Accounts.
Facebook had just under 3 billion monthly active users as of April 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, Facebook took action to get rid of 1.6 billion fake accounts on the platform.
That represents half of their account database.
This shows you that dating sites aren’t the only place that catfishing occurs. Remember that sometimes, fabricated Facebook profiles are innocent in nature with no malicious intent.
Then, there are those who use them to connect to other people’s friends and family trying to steal their identities or even scam them out of their money.
33. The New York Daily News Reported that One in Ten Dating Profiles Are Fake.
One website, Seeking Arrangement says it deletes over 200 fraudulent accounts daily.
In this instance, this is not about fibbing about your weight, height, or age. It’s about full-blown scammers seeking to take money from innocent users.
Scammers often fabricate profiles that evoke sympathy.
That is probably why 63% of all fake profiles claim to be widows or widowers. These scammers are trying to gain trust and sympathy.
There are ways to recognize most fake accounts, so it’s time to get to know who’s who on dating sites.
34. 54% of Online Daters Think that They Have Seen People with False Data on Their Dating Profiles.
This comes as no surprise after reading about all the fabricated or fraudulent accounts created on dating sites and social media sites.
It seems that over half of online daters feel they have seen someone who falsely represented themselves.
That doesn’t always mean that people with fake profiles are criminals or malicious, but some of them are at least questionable, or dating sites wouldn’t be removing them.
Social media sites also work to remove any fake profiles they find.
35. 28% of those with online dating profiles have been contacted in a way that made them uncomfortable.
Within that 28% some even felt harassed by someone on a dating site.
That is at least a person who has some poor intent toward the person, but it could also be someone with malicious intent to at least do emotional harm to someone.
Men are more likely to fall for a catfisher by 43% compared to women, at roughly 28%.
For whatever reason, men are more apt to believe in a fake persona online than women.
Around 20% of men who’ve been catfished claimed they were tricked over five times.
Senior Citizen Scamming Statistics
The most vulnerable of the world’s population is the older crowd.
People over 60 or 65 are usually the most targeted of any age regarding scams.
Let’s look at the statistics for the older crowd.
36. Online Shopping Scams Target Senior Citizens.
Older adults don’t report the loss of money to online shopping scams as often as their younger counterparts.
In spite of that fact, online shopping scams are the top method for targeting older consumers.
This problem has risen since the pandemic, where most people had to make purchases online.
The average money loss experienced by senior citizens is $129. For the older crowd living on a limited income, that’s significant.
37. Scammers Are More Likely to Contact Older People via The Telephone.
Making phone calls is the most common method of targeting senior citizens when it comes to scams.
The FBI says there were 16,000 reports by elderly citizens that verified that problem.
Older adults report higher losses due to phone scams than younger consumers do.
In cases where 80-year-old and over adults were targeted, the median loss to phone scams accounted for $3,500.
That’s four times the amount reported by adults between 20 and 59 years old.
38. In 2020, Seniors Lost Over $3 Billion to Financial Scams.
Data reported by the FBI estimated that senior citizens lose over $3 billion a year due to financial scams.
This includes sweepstakes scams, lottery scams, and romance scams. The CSN Data Book for 2020 reported losses of over $3.3 billion because of fraud perpetrated on older adults.
The population is continually aging, so these scams against them will likely continue to rise.
They could even get worse as advanced technology is introduced and the younger generation gets wiser to today’s scams.
Scammers are always evolving and finding new ways to get personal information and money.
39. Senior Citizens Are Less Apt to Report Financial Losses from Scams.
Younger people between 20 and 29, report fraud 44% of the time, compared to 20% of those aged 70 to 79 who report fraud and money losses.
The FBI says that senior citizens are less apt to report fraud.
The above statistics support that fact.
It’s speculated by FBI officials that this is mostly because of their lack of understanding of the process for reporting fraud.
That’s just another reason older adults are targeted by scammers.
Also, it’s believed that shame and the fear of losing their financial independence is part of why they don’t report fraud.
40. Online Contact Methods Are on The Rise for Scamming Older Adults.
Not only do younger people use the Internet, but older people are now learning how to use social media and other websites, mostly because of the pandemic, when they had to order things online and chat with family and friends online.
Scammers caught onto this and are now using online chats, emails, and social media to defraud older people.
Social media scam contact increased from 289 in 2019 to 967 in 2020.
During the second quarter of 2020, seniors were starting to report money losses due to online scams.
