The Better Business Bureau finds military families are at higher risk for fraud.
Military consumers report losing a median of $200 when falling victim to a scam, according to the BBB scam tracker.
That's 32% higher than the $152 reported by all consumers in 2018.
Relocation forces military consumers to make quicker purchasing decisions than the general population, the bureau says.
Moving to new a location can also make it difficult to find secure, stable employment for spouses and other family members.
Military consumers also reported higher rates of losing money to home improvement scammers.
