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 $1.026 Trillion was lost by consumers worldwide last year in scams.
78% of participants experienced at least one scam in the last 12 months, according to our Global State of Scams study.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg as 59% did not report the scam to the police or other government authorities and 24% of participants believe reporting a scam would not make a difference. 45% of the surveyed people experienced more scams in the last 12 months and only 3% experienced fewer scams than the previous year globally.

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.
