World Teams Up with Whoscall, Strengthening Digital Trust and Scam Protection in Thailand

Bangkok, Thailand – 24 June 2025 – World Thailand, a leader in digital identity verification, has partnered with Gogolook,  a leading TrustTech company and the developer of Whoscall application, to fight online scams with a powerful new integration. This collaboration launches World ID’s direct connection with Whoscall, aiming to build a stronger foundation for digital trust and scam prevention across Thailand.

 

Pakapol Thangtongchin, Country Manager of World Thailand said “This collaboration marks a major step in combining World ID’s privacy-first digital identity layer with Whoscall, the most trusted application among Thais for scam protection. With a vast user base in Thailand, Whoscall has earned its reputation as a first line of defense against digital threats. To date, the app has blocked millions of scam calls, helping users avoid fraudulent schemes.”

 

Manwoo Joo, Chief Executive Officer of Gogolook Thailand said “At Gogolook, we are committed to building technologies that foster trust in the digital world. We believe that trust is the foundation of a safe and secure online society. As we continue to develop Whoscall to become an essential app on every smartphone, playing a critical role in cyber threat prevention, this collaboration with World ID will further enhance our ability to protect users more effectively. With over 30 million downloads in Thailand and more than 100 million globally, we are confident that our extensive user network will be instrumental in shaping a safer and more trustworthy digital environment for everyone.”

 

World ID serves as a Verified Identity Layer that authenticates users without storing personal data, using zero-knowledge proof to preserve maximum privacy, a founding principle of the project. Co-founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and a global leader in artificial intelligence, World was designed to address the challenges of an AI-driven future with trust and integrity at its core.

 

 

Shifting from Reactive to Proactive Scam Defense

This partnership represents a shift from reactive security to a proactive, trust-by-design approach. As a first step, Whoscall will enable login via World ID, granting users who are verified through World ID greater influence within the community, along with an innovative and convenient user experience. By enabling verified digital identities from the start, World and Gogolook are helping create safer environments for both individuals and organizations.

 

The rollout begins in Thailand, with plans to expand across Southeast Asia. The shared mission: raise the standard for digital security and build a trusted digital ecosystem for everyone.
