The current crop of fraudsters, catfishers and scam artists target people of all ages and backgrounds. The schemes and methods that they hatch seem to get more creative each year.

You’ve probably heard of them or, unfortunately, have been a victim of one. Everything from online shopping fraud to juice jacking to the latest emerging schemes from artificial intelligence—all are out there right now looking for a target.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that people in their 20s and 30s are 25% more likely to report that they lost money to a fraud scheme than people 40 and over. But it is important to note that fraud happens to every age group. It happens online, via phone calls and texts, and it can be transmitted in an email or even while charging your phone at the airport.
