Global Communications Trust Council
Advancing Trust, Safety, and Integrity in Global Digital Communications
Global Communications Trust Council (GCTC) is an independent, non-profit advisory body focused on researching, preventing, and mitigating scams, frauds, phishing, impersonation, and abuse across telecom, messaging, and digital communication ecosystems.
Why GCommTC Exists?
Digital communications have become foundational to modern economies and societies. At the same time, they are increasingly exploited for scams, frauds, phishing, impersonation, and identity abuse—causing significant consumer harm and erosion of trust.
These threats are cross-border, multi-channel, rapidly evolving, and increasingly sophisticated. No single operator, platform, or regulator can address them in isolation.
GCTC was established to provide neutral, evidence-based, and collective intelligence to support industry stakeholders and public authorities in strengthening trust across global communications infrastructure.
