Workshop 3.1 : Chasing the ‘golden Egg’ by Mapping Out the Most Effective Solutions From All Corners of the World - Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2024

Date of Event:  2024-06-24

Event:  Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2024

Participants gathered to explore effective strategies used globally by criminals, focusing on four phases: Prepare, Engage, Convince, and Transfer, from the perspective of the criminal. Facilitators like Ian Swain coordinated groups of around 10 people each to discuss best practices in preparation and engagement stages, aiming to identify interventions that reduce criminal activities.

After 30 minutes of group discussions, coordinators summarized key interventions with effectiveness ratings and contact details. Participants then placed sticky notes on screens to share findings. Following the break, Toby presented Australia's interventions, and discussions continued on the convincing and fund transfer phases.
