Date of Event: 26–27 March 2025
Event: Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025
At the Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025 , Workshop 2 focused on international lessons in scam fighting, offering a diverse set of perspectives from public and private stakeholders. The session was hosted by F-Secure and chaired by Kate Griffin of the Aspen Institute.
Speakers shared successful strategies from around the world, including the Netherlands’ Operation Centurion, Australia’s National Anti-Scam Centre, and Geneva’s cybercrime intelligence hub. Presenters also addressed challenges in data sharing, scam-related legislation, and law enforcement collaboration across borders.
The OCCRP presented findings from its ‘Scam Empire’ investigation—an exposé based on leaked data from a Georgian scam call centre—while F-Secure unpacked how telecoms and service providers can become trusted defenders in the scam pandemic.
The panel discussion highlighted recurring themes: the growing role of AI in scams, the need for multi-sector engagement, and the urgency of international cooperation to trace money, dismantle networks, and empower consumers.
Watch the full session below for practical takeaways and global insights into fighting scams at scale.
