According to the annual Senate Committee on Aging report released this month, older Americans reportedly lost $1.1 billion to fraud in 2022, largely due to sophisticated AI-generated scams.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, also a member of the committee, said the $1.1 billion figure in total losses is "almost surely an underestimate," since it does not factor in the instances of victims who don't report scams due to embarrassment.
