Our mission is to safeguard customers globally from scams by promoting awareness, providing practical tools for customers and law enforcement, facilitating knowledge sharing, planning research, encouraging the creation of (legal) best practices, and providing training and education.
Online con artists, however, get away with it since they are not restricted by geographic location. While law enforcement only works on a local, regional, or national level, they can act globally. The World Economic Forum reports that only 0.05% of cybercriminals are brought to justice and that is one of the biggest injustices when it comes in this area.
Our aim is to make it easier for commercial businesses, law enforcement, consumer protection agencies, NGOs, and the scientific community to share information and insights about online scams. The only effective way to stop the global scam epidemic is through sharing data on internet fraud across borders, which enables quicker detection, prevention, investigation, and conviction.
