We are pleased to launch the Scamstats initiative. To provide a unified and comparable measure of the problems of scams and fraud globally. scamstats.org
Every country counts scams differently, if at all, so nobody could say how many people are scammed worldwide. @scamstats is our answer: one method, every country, every figure traced to an official source. Our first estimate: 655 million people a year. scamstats.org

The largest cost of scams falls on people who were never scammed. In our GSMA ASEAN report, 56% of consumers in Southeast Asia now avoid inbound contact or transactions because of scams. The never-scammed do it just as much. No government counts it. armidale.co/perspectives/nob…
