ABC News is reporting: The National White Collar Crime Center released a report which shows over a 33% increase in Internet crime complaints since 2007. In 2008, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received 275,284 complaint submissions a (33.1% increase from 2007).
The total dollar loss from all referred cases of fraud was $264.6 million with a median dollar loss of $931.00 per complaint. This is up from $239.1 million in total reported losses in 2007. Of the 72,940 fraudulent referrals processed by IC3 during 2008, 63,382 involved a victim who reported a monetary loss.
The vast majority of perpetrators contact their victims through e-mail (74.0%) or a Web page (28.9%). Others reportedly had phone contact (15.0%) with the perpetrator or corresponded through physical mail (8.3%).
The report also says many of the scammers attempt to fool consumers into believing the FBI is involved. "Invariably, the e-mails attempt to create an air of legitimacy by claiming to be from FBI Director Robert Mueller, Deputy Director John S. Pistole, or some other high-ranking official or investigative unit within the FBI. For instance, many e-mails refer to the FBI’s Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division—presumably in an effort to support the idea that if e-mail recipients do not comply, they will become vulnerable to allegations of terrorist activities. Internet users should know, however, that the FBI does not contact U.S. citizens regarding personal financial matters through unsolicited e-mails."
I found a lot of worthwhile data above!

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
