Call center fraud primarily affects the elderly, many of whom are not overtly active online. The report found that nearly half of these victims were older than 60 and accounted for 69% of the total financial losses ($724 million).

The report showed that individuals between 50 and 59 years old accounted for only 9% and the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s groups each accounted for 5% or less of the victims.
