About GASA

The Global Anti-Scam Alliance

Our mission is to protect consumers worldwide from scams

WHY DO WE EXIST?

Our mission is to create a world where people worldwide are safe from the financial and emotional trauma caused by online scams.

The number of online scams is booming. Nearly $55 billion was lost by consumers worldwide last year in scams.
The number of scams reported to law enforcement grew to more than 300 million reports globally
according to our Global State of Scams study.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg as only 7% of all victims report the online scam to the police. Still, in many countries online scams are now the most reported type of crime such as in the UK where 41% of all reported crimes are now related to online fraud and 50% in Singapore.

Scammers, can go free because they can operate globally, while law enforcement operations locally, regionally, or nationally. According to the World Economic Forum, only 0,05% of all cybercriminals are prosecuted.

We realize our mission by bringing together governments, law enforcement, consumer protection organizations, financial authorities and providers, brand protection agencies, social media, Internet service providers and cybersecurity companies to share knowledge and define joint actions to protect consumers from getting scammed.
