Global State of Scams 2022: DomainCrawler hosts a free webinar in collaboration with Global Anti-Scam Alliance
On October 25 at 16:00 CET, DomainCrawler, a leading B2B provider of structured web data, and Global-Anti-Scam Alliance, a worldwide anti-scam initiative, are holding a webinar on the global situation with scams in 2022. During the event the findings of the Global State of Scams Report will be presented. Speakers of the event are Jorij Abraham, Managing Director at Global Anti-Scam Alliance and Rickard Vikström, Founder at DomainCrawler.
Online scams are on the rise. Most developed countries now state that between 20% to 30% of all crimes reported to the police are related to online fraud which is only the tip of the iceberg. Both individuals and businesses are suffering from the malicious activity of wrongdoers accounting for nearly $50 billion loss last year.
Moreover, the current way hosting companies, SSL certifiers, e-commerce platforms, email houses, registries and registrars offer their infrastructure allows scammers to set up web shops or conduct any other type of illegal online activity very easily, cheaply and most importantly, anonymously.
That is why it is important that the internet community unite forces in this combat. But what is the situation with online scams globally and locally, what have we been doing so far, and what should we be doing onwards?
These and other questions will be answered on October 25, at 16:00 CET at a free webinar Global State of Scams 2022 organized by DomainCrawler and Global Anti-Scam Alliance. The speakers of the webinars are two established professionals of the Internet industry – Rickard Vikström and Jorij Abraham.

Driven by the vision of indexing the entire Internet, he started DomainCrawler in 2008 which now possesses one of the biggest databases web data in the world helping brand protection agencies, domain registries and registrars, and other companies fight against infringement and abuse on the Internet.
