State of Scam Brazil Report Shows R$99 billion Lost; Cross-Sector Webinar to Address Growing Crisis
The Global Anti-Scam Alliance(GASA) will release its State of Scam Brazil Report 2025 on November 13, revealing an alarming disconnect between confidence and vulnerability: while 75% of Brazilians believe they can recognize scams, 70% have fallen victim to at least one within the past year. The report estimates total losses at R$99 billion, underscoring the urgent need for coordinated action across sectors.
State of Scams in Brazil
Part of a landmark global study covering 42 markets and interviewing 46,000 people worldwide, the Brazilian findings from 1,000 adults paint a troubling picture of daily vulnerability. Brazilians encounter scams on average once every day and a half – totaling 252 encounters per person annually. These encounters occur most frequently through phone calls (65%), text messages (55%), and email (55%), with shopping scams emerging as the most common type of fraud.
“Scams have become part of everyday life in Brazil. The fact that most people feel confident spotting scams, yet continue to fall for them, shows how sophisticated and convincing these schemes have become,” said Renata Salvini, GASA Chapter Director Brazil. “Education, prevention, collaboration, and accountability must go hand in hand if we want to stop this cycle.”
The Human Cost Beyond Financial Loss The report reveals that 86% of scam victims felt very or somewhat stressed by their experience, while 59% reported significant or moderate impacts on their mental wellbeing. On average, each victim has been scammed 1.9 times in the past year, demonstrating how repeat victimization compounds both financial and psychological harm.
Despite the prevalence of scams, reporting remains disappointingly low. While just over two-thirds of those exposed have reported an incident, 60% of those who did report said either no action was taken (44%) or they were unsure of the outcome (16%). Among those who never reported, 44% cited the belief that reporting wouldn’t make a difference – reflecting a troubling perception that the problem is unmanageable.
Taking Action: Cross-Sector Solutions In response to these findings, GASA will host a webinar on November 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM (Brasília Time) titled “State of Scams in Brazil: Turning the Tide on Scams.” The session will explore concrete strategies and coordinated actions to combat the growing scam epidemic in Brazil, featuring a distinguished panel of experts sharing insights from the legal, technology, and financial sectors.
Singapore Exchange Catalist-listed Mooreast Holdings Ltd. (“Mooreast” or the “Group”) announced today that it will commence feasibility studies this month to develop large-scale renewable energy (“RE”) projects of up to 500 megawatts (“MW”) in Timor-Leste.
The feasibility studies have been confirmed to progress after Mooreast entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Secretario de Estado de Electricidade Agua e Saneamento (“SEEAS”), the secretariat for Electricity, Water and Sanitation under Timor-Leste’s Ministry of Public Works, to develop between 300 and 500 MW of floating RE over a five- to 10-year period.
Mooreast said it will conduct due diligence and assessment of locations off Timor-Leste’s coastline that would be suitable for development of projects to generate energy from floating wind, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, current and wave.
The LOI is part of a broader proposal for Mooreast to undertake a proposed RE Development Plan in two phases. The plan is intended to accelerate development of the country’s significant untapped RE resources, including excellent wind potential along the north and south coasts.
Timor-Leste, a country of approximately 15,000 square kilometres that shares borders with Indonesia and Australia, currently relies mostly on diesel-fired power plants to meet its energy needs. It has targeted 100% national electrification by 2030 by substantially diversifying into RE.
Timor-Leste gained full independence in 2002 and was formally admitted as the 11th member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations at the 47th ASEAN Summit held in Kuala Lumpur last month.
As part of the RE Development Plan, Mooreast will also be engaged to upgrade grid transmission and infrastructure for RE integration, set up pilot microgrids for remote communities, explore the potential to export power and hydrogen fuel and introduce smart-grid technologies and systems for energy storage.
Mooreast will have exclusivity for 12 months to conduct feasibility studies, evaluate and propose commercial and financing models. Both parties will then enter into a formal Project Development Agreement (“PDA”), likely in the first half of 2026.
The PDA is expected to include, amongst others: i) joint-ventures to develop the projects; ii) establishing investment and financing models including green finance and fiscal incentives as well as co-investment opportunities with sovereign funds and financial institutions; iii) defining the responsibilities of the state-owned electricity and energy company, Electricidade de Timor-Leste (“EDTL”), relating to necessary rights and permits; iv) defining the role of Mooreast, including for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (“EPCI”) and floating RE; and v) the terms of long-term Power Purchase Agreements.
A specialist in the offshore and marine sector providing mooring and rigging solutions, Mooreast is Asia’s only ultra-high power anchor designer and manufacturer. It has been expanding its presence in Europe and Asia amid increasing commercialisation of floating wind energy projects worldwide.
Mr Eirik Ellingsen, CEO of Mooreast, said: “Timor-Leste has significant potential for floating renewable energy, which can be harnessed for economic growth and to achieve national goals of electrification and sustainability. We are excited by the opportunity to leverage our capabilities and networks to achieve a win-win formula.”
About Mooreast Holdings Ltd.
A leader in total mooring solutions, Mooreast offers design, engineering, fabrication, supply and logistics, installation and commissioning of mooring systems to the offshore oil & gas, marine and offshore renewable energy industries.
With close to three decades of experience, Mooreast is applying its track record and expertise in mooring solutions to floating renewable energy projects, in particular floating offshore wind farms. It has successfully participated in developmental and prototype projects for floating offshore wind turbines in Japan and Europe.

A new study in Animals highlights that industrialized animal farming is one of the most powerful – yet persistently neglected – forces driving the climate and biodiversity crises. The analysis, “The Missing Target: Why Industrialized Animal Farming Must Be at the Core of the Climate Agenda,” synthesizes evidence from 47 international studies and concludes that reducing livestock production and embracing plant-based food systems is essential for meeting global climate goals.
Major Insights
Across global research, livestock farming contributes an estimated 12-20% of all greenhouse gas emissions annually, with the most comprehensive studies yielding the highest figures.
The most modern accounting methods, which include the impacts of deforestation, bottom trawling and cooling effects from certain atmospheric pollutants, reveal that 52% of present-day global warming is attributable to animal agriculture.
Animal agriculture occupies over 80% of agricultural land, while providing only 18% of calories and 37% of protein consumed worldwide, making it difficult to meet the needs of a fast-growing future population.
Among other food-originating environmental impacts, the sector also creates 50% of eutrophication and 32% of soil acidification.
Rapidly developing regions including emerging economies are projected to experience the sharpest growth in livestock emissions unless production trends shift.
Biodiversity studies reveal that meat-heavy diets can create three to four times greater biodiversity losses compared to predominantly plant-based diets.
Why a Plant-Based Shift Matters The analysis makes a compelling environmental case for dietary change. Transitioning toward plant-forward eating patterns would drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pressure on forests and freshwater systems, and curb nutrient pollution from feed crops and manure. Such a shift would not only mitigate climate impacts but also help restore ecosystems and safeguard wildlife.
Implications for Policymakers The authors urge that global climate frameworks-such as climate summits and national plans under the Paris Agreement-must integrate clear targets for reducing animal-product production and consumption. Without tackling this sector, the chances of limiting global warming to well below 2°C (let alone 1.5°C) are significantly compromised.
To be effective and fair, the analysis stresses, solutions must also consider regional realities. In developing economies, dietary transitions should align with food security, cultural preferences, and equitable livelihoods for farmers.
A Turning Point for Food and Climate “The time is long overdue for greater attention on animal agriculture at key climate and environmental policy-making events such as COP30” stated lead author Jenny Mace. “It would be incredibly difficult to achieve climate and other sustainability targets without a significant downsizing of animal agriculture.”
Stated co-author veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, “Industrial livestock farming represents a critical blind spot in global climate policy. However, placing food system reform – particularly the reduction of animal-based products – at the centre of climate action could unlock enormous benefits for both people and the planet.”
Co-author Fernanda Vieira of Sinergia Animal commented that, “Industrial-scale farms are a profound driver of biodiversity loss, deforestation, climate change, and the emergence of zoonotic diseases. If we fail to confront these interconnected issues, the prospect of achieving meaningful progress toward our climate, health, and sustainability goals will remain out of reach.”

UB Lecturer in Chinese Language and Culture, Yang Nadia Miranti, said the university played a leading role in facilitating the visit of Professor Xiang “Hardy” Yong, UNESCO Chair on Creativity and Sustainable Development in Rural Areas and Dean of the Institute for Cultural Industries at Peking University, to explore Malang’s cultural industry potential.
“UB’s academic diplomacy with Peking University was vital,” Miranti said in a statement that ANTARA released here Saturday. She added that Professor Hardy and UB’s Faculty of Humanities visited several sites in Malang in February 2025 to assess local creative assets.
Professor Hardy, accompanied by UB representatives and Malang municipal officials, toured the Malang Creative Center, Kayutangan Heritage Village, and Polowijen Cultural Village. The visits led to discussions that produced an official recommendation letter, a key document supporting Malang’s nomination to UNESCO.
The letter affirmed Malang’s strong commitment to developing a thriving media arts ecosystem. According to Miranti, the recommendation provided international academic validation for UNESCO’s evaluation committee and opened new opportunities for collaboration with other creative cities such as Changsha in China and Gwangju in South Korea.
Malang’s creativity, she added, reflects a rich blend of Indonesian and Chinese cultural elements seen in its cuisine, arts, and architecture. “Malang embodies the spirit of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network—a place where media arts foster cultural resilience, economic vitality, and social cohesion,” Miranti said.
Professor Hardy also proposed establishing a Media Arts Innovation Council and developing a Media Arts Impact Index in partnership with UB to measure creative cities’ contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals.
UB and Peking University would soon launch a UNESCO Chair Workstation, initiate a student mobility program in 2026, and support Malang’s plans to build sister-city and sister-village partnerships with counterparts in China, he was quoted by Miranti as saying.

Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) (“Focus” or the “Company“), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Quebec, is pleased to announce the commencement of a hydrogeological study (the “Study“) at its wholly owned Lac Knife Project (the “Project“).
The Study will be executed by Yves Leblanc, P.Geo., of Richelieu Hydrogeologie Inc. (“RHI“), a Quebec based consulting firm specializing in groundwater management, mining and environmental hydrogeology, geothermal systems, and individual well design. RHI has supported Focus and the Lac Knife Project since 2019. The program will be carried out under the supervision and management of IOS Geosciences Inc. (“IOS“), the Company’s geological consulting firm and general contractor for the Lac Knife Project.
This Study represents one of the final major technical milestones in advancing the Company’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA“) – a critical step toward the mine permitting phase for the Project. The hydrogeological program will characterize groundwater flows, aquifer properties, and potential interactions with Project infrastructure such as the open pit and tailings storage facility, ensuring responsible water management and full compliance with Quebec’s regulatory standards.
The Lac Knife deposit is located on a hillcrest between Knife Lake and Pecan River, both tributaries of the Moisie River, which is designated as a planned aquatic reserve. As such, the highest standards of aquifer protection must be applied. This Study aims to address concerns outlined in the second round of questions received in 2019 from Quebec’s Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change (“MDDELCC“) during its review of the Company’s original Environmental and Social Impact Study submitted in 2014. As part of the 2021 Lac Knife Feasibility
Study (“Feasibility“) update, the Project’s tailings storage facility was fully redesigned to incorporate nearby dolomitic marble, which will amend the tailings and eliminate the risk of acid mine drainage. This new design concept required a complete remodelling of the aquifer system. Results from the current hydrogeological modelling are expected by February 2026, aligning with the planned submission of the final ESIA revision.
Focus continues to collaborate with IOS to finalize contracting for the remaining studies, including tailings dam breach analysis and dust dispersion modelling.
“The launch of the hydrogeological study marks another important step toward permit readiness,” said Jason Latkowcer, Vice President, Corporate Development, Focus Graphite. “We are systematically closing out the final technical components of the ESIA — with hydrogeological modelling being the most time-sensitive — ensuring that every environmental and social consideration is addressed with scientific rigour. Our commitment remains to advance Lac Knife responsibly, in alignment with Indigenous and Quebec environmental standards and the growing global demand for ethically sourced graphite.”
The Lac Knife Project hosts one of the highest-grade flake graphite deposits in the world, with measured and indicated resources grading 14.95% graphitic carbon (Cg). Once in production, Lac Knife is expected to supply high-purity graphite for defense, battery, and advanced materials markets, supporting Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy.
On November 3, 2025 the Company announced that it had been selected by Natural Resources Canada (“NRCan“) under the Global Partnership Initiatives (“GPI“) for conditional approval for a non-repayable contribution of up to $14,062,500, pending final due diligence.
