New research from Feedzai and the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) confirms Brazil grapples with a rising wave of online scam attacks. So far, efforts against scams are multi-faceted but require further measures, such as public education, enhanced reporting mechanisms, and government intervention.

As if the financial losses from scams weren’t hard enough to deal with. Customers also face tremendous emotional and societal impacts, which take an equally significant toll.
