I made this infographic to show how common online scams have become these days. It uses the newest 2025–2026 stats, shares the real story of Emily Pickett, the USF student whose photos were stolen for a fake identity, points out the biggest red flags, and gives simple steps anyone can follow to stay safe.
Putting it together in Piktochart was really interesting and opened my eyes. Turning all the numbers and that true story into clear visuals took a few tries, but it felt good when it finally came together.
I created it for students, colleagues, and anyone who shops or uses social media online. Hope it helps you stay one step ahead
