🚨 BREAKING FRAUD ALERT: Florida’s 2025 Scam Crisis 🚨
From the Insight Investigative Group:
Floridians lost a jaw-dropping $1 BILLION+ to internet scams and cybercrime in 2024 alone, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report.  That’s real money stolen from our families, seniors, and small businesses!
2025 is on pace to be EVEN WORSE. With scam reports surging nationwide and AI-powered fraud exploding, we’re projecting total losses exceeding $1.2 BILLION by year’s end.
🌡️ Year-to-date (through early November): Approximately $1.02 BILLION already gone.
⏰ Estimated for the remainder of 2025 (Nov-Dec): $180 MILLION+ – and the holiday season is prime time for gift-card draining, imposter scams, and phishing attacks!
This isn’t just numbers – it’s shattered retirement savings, emptied bank accounts, and devastated lives right here in the Sunshine State.
