Global Scams on the Rise: Over Half of Adults Worldwide Report Scam Encounters, 23% Lost Money

Global Anti-Scam Alliance and Feedzai Release Global State of Scams 2025

The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), in partnership with Feedzai, has released the Global State of Scams 2025 Report. Based on a survey of 46,000 adults across 42 markets, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the prevalence, impact, and policy challenges of scams worldwide.

GASA's Global State of Scams

GASA’s Global State of Scams

In the past 12 months, 57 percent of adults worldwide experienced a scam and 23 percent lost money. Shopping scams affected 54 percent of victims, while investment scams and unexpected money scams each impacted 48 percent. Scam encounters were most frequent in South America, Africa, and Oceania, where up to one in four adults lost money in the last year.

The research also highlights the emotional toll of scams. 69 percent of victims reported (huge) stress as a result, while 17 percent reported a loss of confidence and 14 percent said scams created heightened tension within their family unit. Despite this, many scams remain unreported, with uncertainty over where to report being the main barrier.

93% of adults globally claim to take at least one step to verify if an offer is legitimate or not. However, many often rely on methods that are less effective such as checking for spelling and grammar errors (27%); looking for reviews on the same website (24%) and checking if the company is on social media (21%).

Despite nearly three quarters of adults globally feeling confident in their ability to recognise a scam, scams remain prevalent, with many scam victims losing money and a significant proportion never reporting their encounters.

Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of GASA, comments: “We have a huge challenge, 73 percent of people worldwide feel confident they can recognize scams, however, nearly a quarter still lost money in the past year. Scams are not only draining finances but also eroding trust and creating significant stress within families. We are learning that scam awareness campaigns alone are not enough. We need to continuously educate consumers, build better solutions to recognize and block (AI) scams and work internationally closer to get to catch the scammers.

“Fraud isn’t just about transactions anymore. It’s about intent. Criminals are exploiting trust, behavior, and technology in real time. Stopping them takes more than spotting anomalies; it takes understanding human patterns. No single bank or payment provider can do that alone. The only way forward is collaboration across financial institutions and cybersecurity teams. That’s how we protect consumers everywhere.” adds Nuno Sebastião, CEO, Feedzai

The Global State of Scams 2025 Report emphasizes that scams are no longer isolated crimes but a global threat to consumer safety, financial stability, and trust in digital economies. GASA and Feedzai call for stronger international collaboration, better scam prevention tools, and accountability across platforms, governments, and industries.

Transoft Solutions Receives AiRAP Accreditation

Transoft Solutions Named First North American Company to Become an Accredited AiRAP Data Provider for iRAP Global Road Assessments

Transoft Solutions, a global leader in transportation engineering, analysis, and operations software, is now officially an accredited AiRAP data provider, reinforcing its support for the International Road Assessment Programme’s (iRAP) vision of a world free of high-risk roads. This achievement enables more efficient iRAP Star Rating assessments performed by road safety professionals and practitioners.

iRAP’s Star Rating methodology uses a predictive, risk-based approach to assess roads universally by reviewing attributes present along the road corridor. The time-consuming traditional method of conducting an iRAP Star Rating involves accredited coders manually reviewing video footage of road, 100m at a time, and coding more than 50 road attributes. These attributes are then processed through iRAP’s ViDA software to get an objective star rating measure of the level of safety for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians. To scale this process, iRAP launched AiRAP in 2019, which stands for the “accelerated and intelligent” capture of road safety data. Learn more about AiRAP at: www.irap.org/airap.

Graid Technology Finalizes Intel® VROC Licensing Agreement, Expanding Leadership in Enterprise Storage Solutions

“This agreement represents an exciting new chapter for Graid Technology and for the global ecosystem that relies on Intel® VROC,” said Leander Yu, CEO of Graid Technology. “Finalizing the deal allows us to ensure long term continuity for existing customers while also accelerating innovation and value creation across the enterprise storage market.”

Since the initial announcement, Graid Technology has engaged in productive discussions with many VROC customers, OEMs, and channel partners who have expressed strong support and enthusiasm for the transition.

“Customer response has been overwhelmingly positive,” added Thomas Paquette, Sr. Vice President and GM, Americas & EMEA at Graid Technology. “Partners and system builders see this transition as a win win; protecting their current investments in Intel® VROC while benefiting from Graid Technology’s focus, agility, and commitment to high performance storage innovation.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Graid Technology has assumed responsibility for Intel® VROC customer support and development pipeline, ensuring uninterrupted service and expanding collaboration opportunities across new storage and data infrastructure markets. At this time, Graid Technology has not established a roadmap for new feature enhancements to Intel® VROC, but the team is actively listening to customer feedback and prioritizing their ongoing needs.
