Consumers reported losing nearly $16 billion to fraud and scams in 2025, according to the Federal Trade Commission — a 25% increase over the previous year. Those losses represent far more than dollars: retirement savings wiped out, family finances upended, small businesses harmed, and trust in our economy weakened.
As Georgia’s Attorney General, protecting consumers is one of my office’s top priorities. Every day, we investigate fraud, scams, and other forms of financial crime, prosecute bad actors, and help Georgians avoid becoming victims.
