Overview
Identity fraud scam losses decreased in 2021, but the threat posed by those scams remains real. Cybercriminals might put certain scam tactics on the back burner as they try other approaches in their search for the path of least resistance to ill-gotten gains. After massive losses in 2020, financial institutions and consumers are more attuned to the threats posed by scams, but the attack vectors are always changing.
FIs have a vested interest in ensuring that they are outfitting consumers with the most effective and easily accessed education about the dangers of fraud and scams. When FIs give consumers better tools for financial health and security, they build trust, and long-term loyalty is fostered.
