"As scammers become more sophisticated, leveraging AI to scale their attacks, our defense strategies must advance rapidly." said Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of GASA. "The Asia Scam Report sheds light on the alarming rise of scams across the region. We are honored to collaborate with industry partners to strengthen our collective efforts in protecting citizens and businesses throughout Asia."

The 2024 Asia Scam Report, conducted by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) and ScamAdviser surveyed nearly 25,000 participants across 13 areas including China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysian, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. The findings provide an in-depth look at scam threats, the methods employed by scammers, and the responses from citizens across the region.

The Asia Scam Report reveals key findings, including:

  • Scam-related losses are estimated to reach US$688.42 billion across 13 Asian markets, underscoring the urgent need for stronger scam prevention strategies.
  • The most prominent channels used for scams in Asia are, in order: Text/SMS, Phone calls, Chat Apps, Social Media, and Email.
  • Nearly half of Asians believe online platforms should be held accountable for their losses, while Singaporeans tend to place the most blame on banks and payment providers.
  • 1 in 4 scams are completed in just minutes, and only 8% of scam cases span over a year, reflecting the efficiency and speed of these operations.
  • Identity theft is the most common scam in China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. In Malaysia, Indonesia, and Pakistan, investment scams dominate, while shopping scams are most prevalent in India and the Philippines.
  • In most markets, expectation is that online platforms and website providers should be responsible for refund the loss of scams.
