A recent CNET Group survey of 1,000 US adults found that 80% of respondents receive fake texts or emails every week.
It also measured scam-call frequency and concerns about AI scams: more than 58% said they or a family member had been targeted by one or worried about being targeted.
The results offer a useful view of how often people encounter scams and how they assess online trust.
According to a recent CNET Group survey of 1.000 adults in the United States, more than 80% of respondents said they receive fraudulent text messages or emails at least once a week, while 75% receive similar unwanted calls at the same frequency.
This situation is causing great concern, as citizens are forced to constantly examine the authenticity of every communication. The emergence of new technologies makes it even more difficult to identify fake messages, since the classic signs that betrayed fraud in the past are often absent.
The data shows that 59% of respondents or a family member have been a victim of fraud, been targeted or lost money in the past year. The most common forms reported were credit card fraud, phishing emails and payment app fraud. In addition, more than 58% reported being targeted or concerned about fraud using artificial intelligence.
