Operation Level Up notifies 4,300 victims and saves them an estimated $285 million in potential losses in its first year. Over three-quarters of contacted victims did not know they were being defrauded. Some victims had planned to invest $1 million, sell their homes for $500,000, or withdraw $500,000 from retirement accounts. (FBI, Feb. 14, 2025)
