"Last year alone, Alaskans reported over $26 million in financial losses due to online frauds and scams, many of which involved

cryptocurrency transactions," said Special Agent in Charge Rebecca Day of the FBI Anchorage Field Office. "This isn't just stolen money—it's the stolen savings and retirement funds of hardworking Americans, siphoned from our local economy. To strengthen our collective response to this growing threat, and to help prevent further exploitation and financial harm, we urge residents and businesses to stay vigila

nt and immediately report online fraud to your financial institution and IC3."

This chart outlines IC3 loss trends over a 10-year period for Alaska, with reported losses exceeding $118 million.  The IC3’s accompanying state report indicates all age groups in Alaska were impacted by internet crimes; however, those over the age of 60 accounted for the highest reported losses, including the highest reported losses involving cryptocurrency transactions.   Alaskans reported a variety of internet crimes; however, the costliest schemes were reported as investment fraud ($6.9 million), business email compromise ($4.3 million), and tech support fraud ($3.7 million).
