(15 December 2025) – The Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASA) America 2025 brought together leading policymakers, law enforcement agencies, industry experts, and consumer protection advocates to address the growing threat of online fraud and scams. Hosted in Washington, D.C., the summit emphasized the urgent need for cross-border collaboration and public-private partnerships to combat increasingly sophisticated scam networks. Plenary sessions highlighted the scale of financial losses worldwide and the human impact of scams, underscoring the importance of coordinated global action.
A central theme of the summit was the role of technology and data sharing in strengthening anti-scam defenses. Experts discussed how AI-driven tools, improved reporting mechanisms, and real-time intelligence exchange can help detect and disrupt fraudulent activities more effectively. Several sessions showcased innovative approaches by governments and tech companies, including enhanced scam-blocking systems and consumer awareness campaigns designed to empower individuals to recognize and avoid scams.
The summit also spotlighted law enforcement challenges, particularly in tracking transnational scam operations that exploit jurisdictional gaps. Speakers stressed the need for harmonized legal frameworks and stronger cooperation between countries to ensure scammers face accountability. Case studies presented by U.S. agencies and international partners illustrated both successes and ongoing hurdles in dismantling large-scale fraud networks.
Closing remarks emphasized that the fight against scams is not only about technology but also about education and resilience. By equipping consumers with knowledge, fostering trust between institutions, and building a united global front, GASA America 2025 set a clear vision: to reduce scam-related harm and protect communities worldwide. The summit reinforced its role as a vital platform for dialogue, innovation, and collective action against one of the fastest-growing global threats.
