Netherlands Scam & Fraud Statistics

This page collects Dutch fraud figures published by Fraudehelpdesk, the national fraud reporting and advice centre. Its 2025 annual figures, released in February 2026, record 101.734 reports — an increase of more than 60% on 2024 — alongside € 68.492.848 in reported losses and 15.116 people who lost money, up around 65% on the year before.\n\nFraudehelpdesk is a voluntary reporting point, not a police recording system, so its totals capture only the fraud that victims chose to report to it. Police reports, disputes settled directly with a bank, and the large volume of fraud nobody reports at all sit outside these numbers. All amounts are euros and are reproduced exactly as published, using the Dutch convention of a full stop for thousands and a comma for decimals; nothing has been converted to another currency. A sharp rise in reports also partly reflects Fraudehelpdesk's growing public profile, not only more fraud.
