FBI Ties $893 Million In 2025 Fraud Losses To AI Tools
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center logged 22,364 AI-linked complaints, with investment schemes accounting for $632 million of the total.
- Investment fraud drew $632 million, over two-thirds of the year's $893 million AI-tagged total.
- Voice-cloning distress scams, mimicking a relative in trouble, cost victims just $5 million.
- AI-aided business email compromise cost $30 million; romance scams added $19 million more.
Why it matters: The technology that frightens people costs a fraction of what plain old greed still steals.
