The Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) London 2025 is happening March 26-27, 2025, bringing together governments, consumer & financial authorities, law enforcement, brand protection agencies, and (cybersecurity) companies to define joint actions against online fraud. This event follows the inaugural Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) Europe, held in June 2024 that saw participation from more than 1,200 virtual and 360 physical guests from 100+ countries
Online scams remain the most reported type of crime, with many countries stating that 20%-50% of all reported crimes relate to online fraud. Yet, this is just the tip of the iceberg—only 7% of scam victims report the crime to law enforcement. With nearly $1.03 trillion lost last year, affecting 1 in 4 individuals worldwide, urgent action is needed.
