The United Nations estimates that losses from scams in Asian regions could reach as much as US$114 billion in 2025, according to reports citing UN figures. The estimate suggests that scam-related losses are continuing to expand rapidly. The UN’s projected 2025 figure is significantly higher than earlier estimates for 2023 losses, which are reported as ranging from about US$18 billion to US$37 billion. Taken together, the figures indicate a large increase in the scale of criminal scam activity over the period referenced. Sources describe the growth in losses as reflecting the criminal economy’s rapid scaling rather than a slower or stable trend. While the reports focus on the overall regional totals and the comparison between 2023 and 2025, they do not detail the specific scam types, country breakdowns, or enforcement outcomes behind the estimates. The UN projection therefore functions as a broad indicator of the magnitude of financial harm attributed to scams across Asia for 2025, based on information available to the UN at the time of the estimate.
