Symbiote 79 days ago | parent | context | favorite | on: Scammers Steal $1T a Year – Mostly from Americans

This Global Anti-Scam Alliance website [1] says Americans, Danes and Swiss have the highest average scam amount, at $3520, $3067 and $2980.

But it also says Pakistan lost 4.2% of GDP to scams, vs 0.2% for Italy, Netherlands and France.

It looks like I'd need to register to see more details statistics.
