On National Senior Fraud Awareness Day, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona and the FBI Phoenix Division announced a joint effort to warn the public about rising cyber‑fraud losses. According to FBI data, Arizona ranked sixth in the United States for total financial losses, with nearly $631 million reported last year, compared to a national total of $20.9 billion. The agencies listed common scams, including Business Email Compromise (BEC), spoofing, phishing, tech‑support, government impersonation, non‑payment/non‑delivery, and grandparent scams. Victims who have sent money to a fraudulent account are urged to contact their bank and file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center within 24 hours, providing transaction details to facilitate recovery. Quick action can improve the chances of retrieving stolen funds.
