More than $100 million in money taken from victims. That is the most striking finding in a new report from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). It shows how far scam operations have come from the clumsy phishing email. The report, titled Combating End-to-End Illicit Financial Flows Linked to Scam Compounds , was published on November 5, 2026. It describes scam compounds as integrated criminal enterprises. They generate illicit funds and launder them in-house, with virtual assets doing much of the heavy lifting. The headline number comes from blockchain analysis.
