European citizens are experiencing significant financial losses due to industrial-scale online scams originating primarily from Southeast Asia, while the European Union's regulatory response remains less aggressive than that of other global powers.

由於主要源自東南亞的工業級網路詐騙，歐洲公民正承受顯著的財務損失，而歐盟的監管反應則不如其他全球強權強而有力。

Quantitative data provided by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) indicates that approximately €50 billion was lost to fraudulent activities across 15 European nations within a twelve-month period. The study reveals a discrepancy between perceived and actual competence, as 71% of adults expressed confidence in scam recognition, yet a subset continued to engage with illicit actors. Germany alone accounted for an estimated €10.6 billion in losses. The prevalence of these operations is centered in Southeast Asia, where the United States Institute of Peace and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime estimate annual profits reaching tens of billions of euros, with Cambodian operations alone potentially constituting half of that nation's formal GDP.

全球反詐騙聯盟 (GASA) 提供的定量數據顯示，在 12 個月內，15 個歐洲國家因詐騙活動損失了約 500 億歐元。研究顯示，感知能力與實際能力之間存在差距，儘管 71% 的成年人表示有信心識別詐騙，但仍有一部分人繼續與非法分子接觸。單是德國的損失估計就達 106 億歐元。這些操作主要集中在東南亞，美國和平研究所與聯合國毒品和犯罪辦公室估計，年利潤高達數百億歐元，單是柬埔寨的操作可能就佔該國正式 GDP 的一半。

Strategic responses to these networks vary by jurisdiction. The United States and the United Kingdom have implemented stringent financial sanctions, notably targeting the Prince Group and Huione Group, alongside the indictment of high-level officials and the forfeiture of substantial cryptocurrency assets. China has similarly exerted diplomatic and political pressure on Myanmar and Cambodia to facilitate the deportation of criminal operatives. Conversely, the European Union's engagement has been characterized by institutional fragmentation and a historical tendency to categorize these activities as regional consumer fraud rather than systemic security threats. To date, the Council of the EU has issued sanctions against only one entity, the Thit Linn Myaing Group.

對這些網絡的策略性回應在不同司法管轄區有所不同。美國與英國實施了嚴厲的財務制裁，特別針對 Prince Group 和 Huione Group，並起訴高階官員且沒收大量加密貨幣資產。中國同樣對緬甸和柬埔寨施加外交與政治壓力，以協助將犯罪分子驅逐出境。相反地，歐盟的參與特點是制度碎片化，且歷史上傾向將這些活動歸類為區域性消費者欺詐，而非系統性安全威脅。迄今為止，歐盟理事會僅對一個實體——Thit Linn Myaing Group 實施了制裁。

Recent diplomatic initiatives suggest a shift toward a more integrated security framework. The EU's co-organization of the ASEAN Regional Seminar on Online Scams Fighting and subsequent ministerial meetings in Brunei indicate a burgeoning rapprochement between European and Southeast Asian authorities. Furthermore, the announcement of a comprehensive EU action plan against digital fraud, slated for release before summer 2026, suggests a conceptual transition toward treating cyber-scams as components of organized crime and human trafficking.

近期外交舉措顯示，方向正轉向一個更整合的安全框架。歐盟共同組織的「東協打擊網路詐騙區域研討會」以及隨後在汶萊舉行的部長級會議，顯示歐洲與東南亞當局之間的關係正趨於融洽。此外，歐盟宣布將在 2026 年夏季前發布一份全面打擊數位詐騙的行動計劃，顯示出概念上的轉型，將網路詐騙視為有組織犯罪與人口販運的一部分。

The European Union is currently transitioning from a fragmented, reactive posture to a coordinated strategic framework to mitigate the systemic financial and security risks posed by Southeast Asian scam syndicates.

歐盟目前正從碎片化、被動的姿態，轉型為協調的策略框架，以減輕東南亞詐騙集團所帶來的系統性財務與安全風險。
