Talking Scams with Jorij Abraham
In an increasingly unpredictable digital age, scams have become an ever-looming threat, transcending geographical boundaries and wreaking havoc on lives worldwide. Scammers are not only remarkably adept at targeting the vulnerable but also skilled in using the fear to extort victims.
Recent statistics reveal the staggering scale of this issue. According to the 2023 Global State of Scams report, a collaborative effort by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) and ScamAdvisor, an astonishing 78% of participants worldwide experienced at least one scam in the past year. The financial losses from scams have reached a staggering $1.026 trillion. Yet, scams don't only inflict financial harm; they have a profound emotional impact, with 59% of scam victims reporting significant emotional distress.
In this eye-opening episode, join us as we delve into the world of scams, fraudsters, and the fight to protect consumers worldwide. Our guest, Jorij Abrams, General Manager of ScamAdvisor and a driving force at the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), takes us on a journey through the complex and pervasive threat of scams in our digital age.
