Americans lost an estimated $68 billion to scams in 2025, with 15 million people (about 6 percent of U.S. adults) personally falling victim, according to a new poll.
The results, disclosed by Gallup and the Stop Scams Alliance, found an additional 4 percent of adults lived in a household where someone else was scammed, putting roughly one in 10 U.S. households on the receiving end of a successful scam last year.
