Every day, thousands of people fall victim to fraudulent emails, texts, and calls from scammers pretending to be their bank, a loved one, the government, or law enforcement. And in this time of expanded use of online and mobile banking, the problem is only growing. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission’s report on fraud estimates that American consumers lost a staggering $12.5 billion to phishing scams and other fraud in 2024 — an increase of 25% over 2023.
