Michigan’s $2.7 billion scam industry isn’t just a tech problem—it’s a direct raid on our state’s working class. Our recent polling shows that more than six in 10 Michiganders have experienced an online scam. Online scams are on the rise, and many start on social media platforms through fraudulent advertisements, marketplace listings, friend requests, or direct messages. Commonplace scams include romance scams, investment scams, crypto scams, online marketplace scams, and government impersonation scams. A 2026 report by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) found that Michiganders lost $381 million from online scams, driving an estimated true annual loss of $2.7 billion, or $654 per household.
