Weβve all heard about overseas scammers and those βNigerian Princeβ emails ππΈβ¦ but according to a new study, you might want to keep an eye on your own backyard.
A new report ranked the βmost deceitful statesβ β measuring where residents admit to lying, cheating, scamming, and where fraud reports are the highest.
And coming in at #1?
π° Nevada β Americaβs Most Deceitful State
Sorry, Sin City⦠but the name might be fitting.
Nevada tops the list, with 1 in 5 residents admitting they lie often β plus nearly 60,000 fraud reports per year. π³
What happens in Vegas⦠might involve a scam.
