# What the case file shows right now.

Aggregate counts computed live from every report on file — not a fixed snapshot, and not an official fraud statistic. See [how reports are collected](https://scammercasefile.com/about).

13 reports on file · refreshed live on every request · most recent Aug 12, 2026

## Reports in the last 30 days

**2 reports** filed in the last 30 days, out of 13 on file in total — **down 78%** from the 30 days before that (9 reports).

## How this compares to official figures

> "Overall losses to Investment scams exceeded $8 billion," and reported Confidence/Romance fraud losses topped $929 million in 2025 — this case file's counts are a small, self-reported slice of that much larger picture, not a substitute for it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this an official scam statistics report?

No. These are counts of self-reported, unverified submissions to this site, not a government or telecom fraud statistic. They reflect what's been filed here, not the true scale of WhatsApp scams overall.

### How often do these numbers change?

On every request — this page recomputes counts from the live case file rather than a cached or periodic snapshot.

### Why might one scam type or country look overrepresented?

Report volume tracks who uses this site, not just where scams happen — a spike in one country or type often reflects reporting activity as much as actual scam frequency.

### How is the period-over-period change calculated?

It compares the last 30 days of reports to the 30 days before that, by filing date. On a young, low-volume case file this number swings a lot on small counts — treat it as a rough direction, not a statistically meaningful trend.
