Why does GASA 
MENA exist?

Online scams continue to escalate across the Middle East and North Africa, impacting consumers, businesses, and public institutions alike. Financial losses are rising year on year, but the broader cost is also measured in eroded trust, emotional harm, and strain on enforcement and support systems.

The GASA  Middle East and North Africa Chapter exists to convene leaders across sectors and drive coordinated action against online scams. By strengthening alignment between industry, government, law enforcement, and consumer advocates, we work to accelerate prevention, improve disruption efforts, and build a safer digital environment across the region. 

What do we do?
We protect consumers in the Middle East and North Africa through research, collaboration, and real-time intelligence:

  • Virtual meet-ups and summits

  • Annual state of scams reports

  • Scam.org: Anti-Scam Hub for consumers
