Americans are inundated with suspected scams. New polling shows why few victims report them

A new AP-NORC survey reveals 30% of Americans have lost money or personal information to scams, with 58% receiving daily scam attempts. A Gallup and Stop Scams Alliance study found 10% of U.S. adults lost money to scams in the past year, but few report incidents due to doubts about recovery. Older adults and individuals like Adam Pratter and Porschel Smith describe frequent scam encounters and challenges in identifying fraudulent requests.
