The Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025

 

March 26  |  Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, London SW1P 3EE, United Kingdom

Online scams are the most reported type of crime. Most countries now state that between 20%-50% of all crimes reported are related to online fraud. This is only the tip of the iceberg, as only 7% of all scam victims report the crime to law enforcement. With nearly $1.03 trillion lost last year, affecting 1-in-4 individuals worldwide, fast action is required.

On March 26 in London, United Kingdom, the Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) London will take place. The goal of the Summit is to bring governments, consumer & financial authorities, law enforcement, brand protection agencies, and (cybersecurity) companies together to share knowledge and define joint actions to protect consumers from getting scammed.

​​

Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) London 2025 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.  GASS London will be similarly organized in hybrid style.

​​

In 2025, there will be three GASS events, with editions spanning three continents. America and Asia will each host their own GASS event for the second time, with the European GASS entering its sixth year. GASS London aims to fortify the global network of anti-scam forces by fostering collaboration.

 

Together, these stakeholders can pool resources, share intelligence, and devise coordinated strategies to disrupt and dismantle the intricate networks perpetrating online scams. Only through concerted and unified action can we effectively combat the pervasive threat of online fraud.
