Floridians reported $866.1 million in fraud losses in 2024 according to the FTC Consumer Sentinel Network. The state also recorded 115,840 identity theft incidents — the most per capita in the nation.

What scam types most target Florida residents?

Florida residents face elevated risk in four primary scam categories: senior-targeted fraud (highest 65+ population), Medicare fraud (Florida is #1 nationally), tourist scams (heavy tourism economy), and hurricane disaster fraud (recurring seasonal cycle).
