A new SocialCatfish.com on the State of Internet Scams 2021 shows that residents of the Mount Rushmore State were actually scammed the least in 2020, according to data from the FBI, Internet Crime Complaint Center, and Federal Trade Commission. In all, South Dakota had 777 victims of online fraud, losing a total of $3,208,241 ($4,129 per person), making it the only state with losses under $4 million. Most of the top ten least scammed states all had one thing in common - a small population. Nine of the top ten have the least number of people, with the exception of North Dakota, which is the fourth-smallest state by population, but the 29th most scammed ($25,804,940) last year.
