About This Session

Scammers stole an estimated $1 trillion last year in a worldwide crime spree fueled by cryptocurrency and AI technology according to a report by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, yet only a fraction of these crimes result in prosecution. No country escapes involvement — whether as targets, hosts of scam compounds, or secret money laundering hubs. This panel explores approaches to investigating modern fraud, from trafficking operations where victims are forced to defraud others, to engaging with communities to raise awareness on fact-checking, and how to spot fraud and manipulation tactics. 🪑All sessions are first-come, first-serve. That means people who arrive first will get seats. Be aware that some sessions are in relatively small rooms and they will fill up quickly.
