Global Anti-Scam Alliance Launches Scam.org with OpenAI and Key Partners

AI technology meets on-the-ground expertise from leading organizations across five continents, accessible to billions of consumers in 50+ languages covering 97% of global internet users. 

Blog BannerAmsterdam, 12 March 2026 - The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) launched today Scam.org, an AI-powered platform that provides scam education, prevention, detection, reporting, and victim support in over 50 languages, making it a new global hub, accessible to 97% of the world's internet users.

Scam.org is powered by partnerships with OpenAI and leading cybersecurity organizations, AnyTech365, CUBE AI, Falkin, Malwarebytes, Netcraft, ReasonLabs, ScamAdviser, Scamnetic, Seraph Secure and Spamhaus. For personal victim support, Scam.org collaborates with other victim support organizations such as AARP in the USA and ANVINT in Brazil. The platform expects more organizations to join, with plans to build an even stronger and broader coalition, creating a world where people are safer from the financial and emotional trauma caused by online scams.

The launch comes just days before the UN Fraud Summit in Vienna, Austria (March 16-17), as scams continue to surge in scale and sophistication worldwide, costing individuals and businesses an estimate of $442 billion USD annually (according to the Global State of Scams Report 2025 by GASA). Scam.org brings together AI technology with on-the-ground expertise from trusted organizations across the globe, creating a collaborative defense system where reported scam data strengthens protection for users globally.

Scam.org Unifies Fragmented Response System into Single Global Hub

Until now, scam victims have faced a maze of disconnected resources, separate websites for fraud reporting, utilizing different support hotlines, and scattered educational materials. GASA hopes to unify all these efforts into one global hub making it easier for scam victims to report and get help.

Scam.org covers five critical areas:

  • Education
    Providing free learning material and continuous anti-scam education to spot scams
  • Verification
    Instant AI analysis paired with threat intelligence expertise of suspicious messages, websites, calls, or offers to determine legitimacy
  • Prevention
    Immediate access to protective tools and best practices tailored to individual risk profiles
  • Reporting
    Streamlined scam reporting (to be rolled out in the coming months) that will feed into the Global Signal Exchange, enabling faster global disruption of criminal operations
  • Victim Support
    Direct online and by connecting victims to verified assistance organizations in the user's country and language

Scam.org is dedicated to growing the features and functionality of the platform to ensure continuous consolidation of the entire response cycle into one AI-powered platform.

We've spent years tracking scam trends across continents, and the data is clear: this is getting worse, not better. Every report we publish shows rising numbers, new tactics, more victims. As an alliance, we stand for more than just documenting and connecting. Our members and partners are committed to acting, that's what Scam.org stands for.

Jorij Abraham, General Manager of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance.  

AI Assistant Provides Instant Guidance in 50+ Languages

The platform is optimized for the use of mobile phones in over 50 languages, addressing a critical gap in developing nations where smartphones are the primary means of internet access and where scam victims often have nowhere to turn.

The tool helps users check suspicious messages, websites, calls, or offers in real-time, and directs them to appropriate reporting channels and victim support services in their country and language.

"AI can meaningfully empower people to better protect themselves from scams," said Jack Stubbs, Lead Scams Investigator at OpenAI. “We already see millions of people use ChatGPT to stay safe from scams. Now, our models will help the Global Anti Scam Alliance and scam.org extend that protection to everyday people around the world.”

The AI assistant serves as a triage system, quickly assessing situations and connecting users to the right resources within the Scam.org network, eliminating the confusion victims often face when seeking help.

Scam.org operates through a coalition of organizations bringing complementary expertise:

Technology Partners: OpenAI provides the AI models powering scam.org

Cybersecurity Partners: AnyTech365, Cube AI, Falkin, Malwarebytes, Netcraft, ReasonLabs, ScamAdviser, Scamnetic, Seraph Secure, and Spamhaus contribute threat intelligence and scam detection capabilities, feeding real-time data into the system.

Victim Support: AARP, ANVINT and Australia Victim Support Alliance connect victims with verified assistance resources and counseling services.

Scam.org is built to serve as a free global resource for anyone affected by scams.

Romance scams continue to grow worldwide, exploiting trust, emotional vulnerability, and online relationships to manipulate victims into financial and emotional harm. Timed around Brazil’s Valentine’s Day period, the latest GASA meet-up, Golpes do Amor — Como eles acontecem e como se proteger, explored how these scams operate, why they are so effective, and how individuals can better recognise warning signs before becoming victims.  Hosted by the Brazil Chapter of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), the discussion highlighted findings from O Estado dos Golpes no Brasil. According to the report, romance scams have already affected 18 per cent of surveyed Brazilian adults, while 6 per cent of victims reported falling for this type of scam more than once. Beyond financial losses, speakers emphasised the severe emotional consequences victims often experience, including shame, trauma, and loss of trust.  Read the Report – O Estado dos Golpes no Brasil  Speakers: Rose Leonel, Journalist and Founder – ONG Marias da Internet Tanila Savoy, Founder – Associação Nacional de Vítimas da Internet (ANVINT) Lisandréa Salvariego Colabuono, Police Chief and Coordinator – NOAD, Polícia Civil de São Paulo Renata Salvini, Brazil Chapter Director – Global Anti-Scam Alliance  A major focus of the discussion was the manipulation techniques commonly used in romance scams. Speakers explained how scammers frequently create convincing identities, often pretending to be foreigners, military personnel, or individuals living abroad, while avoiding in-person meetings and building emotional dependency over time. Urgency and financial pressure were highlighted as major warning signs, particularly when victims are pushed to act quickly or send money under emotional circumstances.  The webinar also explored the lasting psychological impact of these crimes and reinforced that victims should never be blamed. Rose Leonel shared her personal story of transforming trauma into advocacy after becoming a victim of non-consensual intimate image sharing, an experience that ultimately contributed to the creation of the Rose Leonel Law in Brazil. Speakers stressed the importance of reporting scams, noting that even small details can assist investigations and help prevent future victims.  The conversation reinforced the need for greater public awareness, victim support, and collaboration between civil society, law enforcement, and digital platforms to address emotionally manipulative fraud more effectively. Through initiatives like this meet-up, GASA continues working with experts and organisations worldwide to strengthen scam prevention and support victims of online fraud.  Watch the full discussion below to learn how individuals and organisations can better recognise and respond to romance scams.
