    Dale, do you know of any published figures or research down this line?
    I know of no reliable data, though The Federal Trade Commission has all kinds of statistics relating to the various scams.

    FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection

    However, I wouldn't put too much stock in their data because many scam victims are too embarrasssed to come forward and admit they've been the victim of a scam.

    In addition, the FTC only keeps records of U.S. scam statistics, and with the advent of the Internet, many of these scams are now global.
