As scams grow in scale and sophistication, conventional prevention strategies are struggling to keep pace. This satellite event of the Global Fraud Summit brings together new large-scale evidence and practical safeguarding approaches that shift the focus from victim awareness to systemic protection.

Drawing on the analysis of over 70M signals from the Global Signal Exchange, this new research by Oxford Information Labs will challenge common assumptions about who scammers target, which tactics are most effective, and where risks are concentrated.

Through live audience polling and expert insights, participants will explore what the data really shows — and what policymakers, industry, and practitioners must do differently.

Agenda Highlights

  • Introduction to the Rethinking Scam Prevention project, and research insights from the Global Signal Exchange data
  • An interactive "Scam Reality Check" using live audience voting
  • Industry reflections and a forward-looking framework for moving beyond awareness to systemic scam protection
  • Audience Q&A

This session is designed for policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, and consumer protection practitioners seeking evidence-based strategies to strengthen scam prevention and safeguarding.
