The FBI says it stopped more than half a billion dollars from reaching fraudsters last year by acting swiftly on reports from scam victims.<\/p>\n

The agency says<\/a> victims reported roughly $1.2 billion in qualifying cases last year, and agents froze $679 million of it for a 58% success rate.<\/p>\n

The bureau\u2019s recovery team collaborates with banks to block funds in fraudulent wire transfers before scammers access them.<\/p>\n

Recovery works best when victims notify their bank immediately and file a complaint at IC3.gov within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Overall cybercrime complaints exceeded 1 million last year with total losses nearing $21 billion, according to the FBI\u2019s 2025 Internet Crime Report.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency schemes drove the highest individual losses at over $11 billion, while investment fraud accounted for nearly half of all scam-related damages.<\/p>\n

The agency says victims should contact their bank first, then local FBI offices and avoid delays due to embarrassment that let funds cross borders or multiple accounts.<\/p>\n
