On 21 September 2026, ILSTA joined the Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane and UNODC to convene a seminar at Crowne Plaza Vientiane on the financial systems supporting scam networks.

Sessions examined the scam-centre ecosystem, freezing and recovering assets, mule accounts and cryptocurrency intermediaries. A closing workshop considered practical priorities for stronger coordination.
