Somos Joins Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) to Advance Telecom Fraud Prevention and Restore Trust

May 27, 2026

Fraud and scams are global, fast-evolving threats that demand coordinated action across industries and borders. To strengthen its commitment to telecom fraud prevention and restoring trust in communications, Somos has joined the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) as an Associated Organization.

“Somos is honored to partner with GASA in the shared mission to combat fraud on a global scale,” said Ann Berkowitz, SVP & Chief Administrative Officer, Global Public Policy & Number Administration at Somos. “By working together across borders, sectors and technologies, we’re strengthening collaboration and advancing smarter, more connected solutions to protect consumers and businesses worldwide.”

“We are excited to welcome Somos as an Associated Organization of GASA,” said Nils Mueller, Director North America Chapter. “Their expertise in communications infrastructure, numbering intelligence and trusted communications will help strengthen our collective efforts to combat fraud and scams globally.”

What Is the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA)?

GASA brings together over 100 organizations across telecommunications, financial services, technology and government to combat scams through shared intelligence, research and collaboration.  

At its core, GASA exists because scams do not respect borders. They exploit gaps between countries, industries and systems — making cross-sector collaboration essential to protecting consumers and businesses worldwide.

Through global collaboration, GASA helps members:

• Share threat intelligence and emerging scam patterns

• Develop anti-scam best practices and policy frameworks

• Advance cross-sector and cross-border cooperation

• Strengthen prevention, detection, and response strategies

Why Telecom Fraud Prevention Requires Global Collaboration

As a trusted provider of communications infrastructure, Somos plays a key role on the front lines of telecom fraud prevention and trusted communications. Through GASA, Somos will collaborate with global leaders, contribute expertise in numbering intelligence and call authentication and help advance solutions that strengthen trust across the communications ecosystem. This includes supporting industry initiatives focused on call authentication, trusted identity, and secure communications.

Restoring trust takes collective action — and together, we can build a stronger global defense against fraud and scams.
