New Survey Reveals 83% of Americans Have Received Scam Attempts in 2022
Bakersfield.com
If it seems like you’re receiving more spam than normal, you probably are. Seventy-four percent of Americans say they have received a scam text so far this year, while as many as 83% have received a scam phone call, according to Allstate Identity Protection’s (AIP) first quarter Identity Fraud in Focus report. Of those, nearly half report receiving 11 or more spam attempts via text or call every week.
Although even successful scams sometimes fail to escalate to instances of full-blown identity theft – and therefore are not counted toward Allstate Identity Protection case counts – they are nonetheless burdensome and costly to victims.
