FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION · ftc.gov/data 3

Inside the Numbers

Sentinel sorts consumer reports into 29 top categories. Appendices B1 - B3 provide detailed

descriptions of the categories and figures over three years. The launch of ReportFraud.ftc.gov in 2020

modernized online complaint collection. For example, the site captures more specific information about

the topic of unwanted text messages and simplifies categorization. A new category was created for

Privacy, Data Security, and Cyber Threats, and the category Internet Auctions was retired. Some

subcategories were renamed, retired, or consolidated, and Appendix B3 identifies these changes.

The Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book excludes the National Do Not Call Registry. A separate

report about these complaint statistics is available at: www.ftc.gov/exploredata. Unspecified reports

relating to unwanted contacts, such as unsolicited emails and text messages, are catalogued in

Appendix B3.

Consumers can report as much or as little detail as they wish when they file a report. For the Sentinel

Data Book graphics, percentages are based on the total number of Sentinel fraud, identity theft, and

other report types in 2022 in which consumers provided the information displayed on each chart.

Reports to Sentinel sometimes indicate money was lost, and sometimes indicate no money was lost.

Often, people make these reports after they experience something problematic in the marketplace,

avoid losing any money, and wish to alert others. Except where otherwise stated, numbers are based on

reports both from people who indicated a loss and people who did not.

Calculations of dollar amounts lost are based on reports in which consumers indicated they lost

between $1 and $999,999.

States and Metropolitan Areas are ranked based on the number of reports per 100,000 population.

State rankings are based on 2020 U.S. Census population estimates (2016-2020 American Community

Survey 5-Year Estimates). Metropolitan Area rankings are based on 2020 U.S. Census population

estimates (2016-2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates).

This Sentinel Data Book identifies Metropolitan Areas (Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas)

with a population of 100,000 or more except where otherwise noted. Metropolitan areas are defined by

Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 18-04, “Revised Delineations of Metropolitan Statistical

Areas, Micropolitan Statistical Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas, and Guidance on Uses of the

Delineations of These Areas” (September 14, 2018).

Numbers change over time. The Sentinel Data Book sorts consumer reports by year, based on the date

of the consumer’s report. Some data contributors transfer their complaints to Sentinel after the end of

the calendar year, and new data providers often contribute reports from prior years. As a result, the

total number of reports for 2022 will likely change during the next few months, and totals from previous

years may differ from prior Consumer Sentinel Network Data Books. The most up-to-date information

can be found online at ftc.gov/exploredata.
