People across the Washington region lost millions of dollars to online scammers last year, who roped in victims with fake romances, hoax emails from the FBI and claims of cars-for-sale that didn’t exist.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center’s annual report says Virginians reported $11.3 million in losses from online fraud in 2011. Marylanders said they took $8.1 million in losses, and District residents were duped out of $1.8 million.
