GASA’s The State of Scams in France 2024 report
GASA’s The State of Scams in France 2024 report, co-sponsored by BioCatch, highlights the latest fraud trends in the country as reported by French consumers.
In this report, you’ll discover:
• Scams are up, losses are down: French consumers lost €2.92 billion less to scams in 2024 than they did a year ago, but still lost €5.14 billion total – 0.2% of the nation’s GDP.
• No shortage of mules: Four percent of survey respondents said they are willing to be money mules (helping scammers to launder money) and nearly 5% identified as undecided on the matter.
• Victims see no point in reporting: Nearly three quarters of scam victims failed to report their scam to law enforcement.
• AI awareness a potential concern: More than 80% of respondents say they know scammers can use artificial intelligence (AI) to craft scam messages, but fewer understand the risk of AI-generated voice clones or deepfake videos.
• Scammers in our incoming texts: GASA finds a 19% increase in text and SMS message scams in the last year.
