Many of us have fallen victims to scams. Most of us know someone else who has. Fraud did not start with the Internet, but it has unfortunately become an integral part of the online experience.

Jorij Abraham is Managing Director of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), a non-profit organization based in Amsterdam and a partner to CyAN.

In today's Secure-in-Mind episode, we talk about GASA's mission fighting scams of all sorts. What is a scam? What types of scams are most common around the world, who are the victims, and who are the major perpetrators?

Jorij shares his experience in helping to fight abuse, whether it involves fake work visa promises, business email compromise, as well as subscription, romance, crypto, and many other scams that defraud innocent victims of their money. How are we working with law enforcement? What are tech companies doing to fight scams? And, as always, we ask Jorij his views on what the future will bring.
