I'm in areas and positions to see a lot of data in a trend like that. From my vantage point, the fraud stays happening in all kinds of ways with it going up or down based on both job opportunities (reduces crime) and opportunities for criminals (increases it). There's definitely been more attempts with things like Facebook-based scams, gift cards, and so on. The lower barrier to entry is increasing the number of people doing it. I wouldn't say any technological revolution or transition is causing it, though. The Web and social media already happened. ;) The cryptocurrencies do look like they're trying to push the envelope on theft described as failed investments, though. I do suggest looking into crime statistics for fraud and how they're determined over time if you want a more objective, representative viewpoint.
