Option 1 — Awareness Gap
Financial fraud is no longer a rare event. It is becoming part of everyday life. New CFP Board research found that 62% of Americans have encountered financial fraud or know someone who has in the past three years, yet only 37% are confident they could identify every form fraud takes. Closing the gap between awareness and preparedness is critical to protecting long-term financial security.

Option 2 — Evolving Scams
Think you could spot a scam? CFP Board research suggests many Americans may be more vulnerable than they realize. While most people feel confident identifying traditional phishing attempts, confidence drops when scams involve AI voice impersonation, deepfakes and highly personalized messages. Fraud is evolving quickly, and preparation matters. Explore the findings in CFP Board’s latest research report: https://www.cfp.net/industry-insights/reports-and-statistics/consumer-surveys/guarding-against-financial-fraud

Option 3 — Family Conversations
The most powerful fraud prevention tool may be a conversation. CFP Board research found that while many Americans discuss financial fraud with a spouse or partner, far fewer are having those conversations with parents, grandparents or children. As scams grow more sophisticated, talking openly about fraud risks can help families better protect one another.

Option 4 — Victims Suffer in Silence
Financial fraud can happen to anyone, yet too many victims suffer in silence. CFP Board research found that one in three fraud victims never reported the incident, often because they did not know where to turn or felt embarrassed. No one should face fraud alone. Trusted guidance and a clear response plan can make all the difference.

Option 5 — Younger Americans
Many Americans believe they can spot financial fraud. CFP Board research tells a more complicated story. Younger Americans report greater confidence in detecting digital scams, yet they lose money to fraud at higher rates than older generations. Confidence is important, but preparation is essential.
