Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2026

Online scams are rapidly increasing across Europe, becoming more sophisticated, cross-border, and harder to regulate, posing risks to consumers, businesses, and institutions.

To address the growing complexity of scams across Europe and beyond, the Summit will bring together leaders from government, regulation, law enforcement, financial services, technology, cybersecurity, and consumer protection.

Euroconsumers and its Portuguese member DECO PROteste are pleased to join the Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2026 as co-organisers and advocates, helping shape discussions and collaborative action to strengthen the global fight against online scams.

Join us for two days of high-level dialogue, expert exchange, and collaborative workshops focused on building a stronger collective response to fraud and scams.

We would like to draw your attention to this session exploring the next steps following the landmark UN-INTERPOL Global Fraud Summit in March. Building on the momentum created by global institutions, law enforcement, industry leaders, and consumer organisations such as Euroconsumers, the panel will build on key outcomes to propose concrete next steps in global coordination of the fight against scams.

We would also like to highlight this interactive workshop examining the latest developments in fraud policy across Europe. Bringing together policymakers, regulators, industry experts, and consumer organisations, the session will explore how Europe can strengthen its collective response to online fraud.

This workshop is divided into two parts, with a focus on both EU and UK developments.

The first part will examine the EU Fraud Action Plan and other recent developments shaping Europe’s policy response to fraud. The discussion will also consider related policy and regulatory initiatives, including the Payment Services Regulation, the Digital Services Act, and the proposed Digital Networks Act.

The second part will focus on the UK Fraud Strategy and the development of the Online Crime Centre, examining how the UK is approaching fraud prevention, enforcement, coordination, and industry collaboration. The session will consider what these developments mean for Europe’s broader anti-fraud policy landscape.
