ScamAdviser and Gogolook: A New Era in Anti-Scam Technology
In a world increasingly threatened by digital scams, the need for robust protection mechanisms has never been more critical. On September 25, 2024, ScamAdviser announced a strategic integration with Gogolook, the innovative TrustTech company behind the popular app Whoscall. This partnership aims to combine advanced risk analysis and tailored anti-scam technologies to combat the rising tide of digital threats targeting phone numbers, SMS, and online domains. With ScamAdviser’s extensive databases now boasting over 60 million domain records and 2.6 billion phone numbers, the collaboration promises to power the most formidable anti-scam AI engine globally.
The Growing Threat of AI-Driven Scams
Recent research from the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) paints a stark picture: scams affect over 25.5% of the global population, with annual losses exceeding 1% of the world’s GDP. The financial implications are staggering; for every dollar lost to scams, businesses face costs up to four times higher due to litigation, administration, and compensation. As a result, regulatory bodies in Australia, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Singapore are drafting new regulations that hold businesses accountable for customer scams and financial losses. This shift underscores the urgent need for effective anti-scam solutions.
