ScamAdviser Shines at GASA 2026

ScamAdviser, a leader in global anti-scam solutions, made a notable impact at the Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) held in San Francisco on September 22, 2026. Organized by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), the summit gathered experts from technology, finance, and cybersecurity sectors to address critical challenges posed by digital scams. During this event, ScamAdviser was honored with the Scam Fighter Award for its innovative product, Watchmen, which is recognized for its exceptional contributions to safeguards against impersonation scams.

Strengthening Digital Trust in AI

One of the key highlights of the summit was a panel discussion led by ScamAdviser's CEO, Aaron Chiou, titled "The Agent Is the New Victim – From Social Engineering to Agent Engineering." This session featured industry leaders from Google, Gen, AIM Intelligence, and Adyen, focusing on how autonomous AI agents are becoming lucrative targets for fraudsters.

Aaron Chiou pointed out a troubling trend: as consumers increasingly depend on AI to find the best deals, compare products, and facilitate transactions, scammers are evolving their tactics. The dynamic nature of the web creates opportunities for scams that can easily bypass static prompts that most AI systems rely on. He explained, "As AI systems take on more autonomous decision-making roles, they become direct targets for fraud, which is a significant shift from past practices where human oversight was more prevalent. We need to ensure that the AI logic is safeguarded at all times."

In response to these emerging threats, ScamAdviser introduced AgentLooker.ai, a real-time security solution designed to protect AI agents during complex web interactions. The system aims to counteract the growing sophistication of scams by continuously monitoring and assessing threats in real-time. This proactive measure is seen as essential for fostering trust in autonomous commerce technologies.

Celebrating Innovation with the Scam Fighter Award

At GASS America, the event concluded with the presentation of the Scam Fighter Award, which was given to ScamAdviser's Watchmen solution. This innovative platform acts as a Fraud Early Warning System, diligently monitoring corporate communication channels, especially on social media, to detect and mitigate impersonation and other forms of cyber threats instantly.

Employing advanced technology including multi-layered filtering systems, expert rule engines, and Large Language Model (LLM) semantic analysis, Watchmen provides real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing businesses and regulators to act swiftly against detected scams. In practical applications, it has assisted various entities, including financial regulators and law enforcement agencies, showcasing significant results, including a 38% reduction in investment scam losses and dramatically shortening detection-to-takedown times.

As Aaron Chiou emphasized, “By transforming raw threat data into actionable insights, Watchmen sets a new standard for collaboration in combatting scams between the public and private sectors.” Such achievements not only reflect ScamAdviser's commitment to innovation but also underscore the importance of collective efforts in the fight against digital fraud.

For attendees of GASS, this year's summit was not just about sharing knowledge but also an opportunity to pioneer the future of secure online commerce. ScamAdviser’s advancements, particularly in developing AI safeguards, position them at the forefront of creating a safer digital landscape.

As scams become increasingly sophisticated, the tools and strategies to combat them must evolve. With solutions like AgentLooker.ai and Watchmen, ScamAdviser demonstrates that the fight against fraud is only just beginning, and innovation will play a crucial role in protecting consumers and businesses alike in the digital age.
