Date of Event: 26–27 March 2025
Event: Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025
This session at the Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025 explored how national and international legislation must evolve to confront modern scam threats. Speakers reflected on the urgent need to modernise regulatory frameworks and balance privacy with effective enforcement.
Moderated by Riikka Puttonen from UNODC, the panel featured representatives from the UK Home Office, Ofcom, the European Commission, and Australia’s regulatory ecosystem. The discussion began with an overview of existing fraud legislation—including serious crime classifications and sector-specific frameworks. While some jurisdictions have enacted broad regulatory powers, panellists noted that fraudsters often exploit grey areas in jurisdiction, enforcement, and oversight.
Artificial intelligence, deepfakes, crypto, and decentralised platforms have all introduced new challenges to enforcement. Speakers stressed that legislation must remain agile, technologically neutral, and future-proof. Several called for a functional, principles-based approach that avoids overly prescriptive rules.
Despite differences in legal systems, the panel found common ground on the need for:
Streamlined data sharing frameworks that respect—but don’t over-prioritise—privacy
International regulatory alignment to prevent exploitation of cross-border inconsistencies
Impact measurement systems that track the effectiveness of anti-scam interventions
The session closed with a call to continue building collaborative legal infrastructure and to prioritise clarity, coherence, and cross-sector cooperation. Participants welcomed the news that the UN and INTERPOL will co-host a Global Fraud Summit in 2026 to further this work.
