Event: Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025
This powerful opening session of the Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025 gave the stage to those directly impacted by scams, reinforcing the summit’s commitment to centring victims in the global conversation.
Kole Gjikolaj, an 18-year-old member of the Childnet Youth Advisory Board and former Honorary Youth MP for Torbay, shared a compelling youth perspective on the dangers of online fraud. From impersonation scams to social engineering in games, Kole detailed how young people are exposed—and how existing platforms and support systems often fall short. He called for clearer reporting tools, inclusive policymaking, and stronger protection mechanisms that don’t place the burden solely on young users.
Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of ScamAdviser, followed with a harrowing personal account of a targeted extortion attempt. After receiving a manipulated data file and demands for a crypto ransom, Jorij and his team took ScamAdviser offline as a precaution and initiated a full investigation. He highlighted the importance of incident response frameworks, transparency with users, and law enforcement cooperation—but stressed that real progress requires going after the scammers themselves.
The session set a clear tone for the summit: global collaboration must not only protect victims but pursue justice.
