As technology advances and people are continuously empowered by new AI tools and shared knowledge, modern fraudsters have a wider range of sophisticated tools and technologies to choose from and combine. Today, online scams are increasing worldwide, representing a threat to users and consumers. Indeed, according to the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), over $1.03 trillion was lost to scammers in 2024.
While technology evolves, fraudsters continue to target the same goal: obtaining users’ personal information or money. Therefore, it’s necessary to learn about the different existing online scams and the latest developments to stay one step ahead.
To fight against these online everyday life threats we are working on a project aiming at identifying and screening online scams. As an internet user and consumer, you can contribute to it by filling out this questionnaire. It takes just a couple of minutes and it consists of yes/no questions.
With your contribution, we could raise awareness and build together a safer online environment for all citizens.
