Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book CY 2016

The FTC produces the Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book annually using a data set of fraud, identity theft, and other reports from consumers received by the Consumer Sentinel Network. These include reports made directly by consumers to the FTC, as well as reports received by federal, state, local, and international law enforcement agencies and other non-governmental organizations. This data set includes national statistics, as well as a state-by-state listing of top report categories in each state and a listing of metropolitan areas that generated the most complaints per capita, for calendar year 2016.
