Coda Expands Anti-Scam Push with Latest Guard Your Game Campaign

Published

on

Two months after its regional launch, Coda is deepening its anti-scam push with ‘Guard Your Game.’ The campaign, backed by Indonesia’s Ministry of Creative Economy, returns with a new video featuring mascot Codee, rolling out across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore.

SINGAPORE, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coda, a global leader in digital content monetization and distribution, today marks the next phase of its Guard Your Game anti-scam campaign with the release of a new video across its regional social media channels. The video brings back Codee, Coda’s anti-scam mascot, to continue the conversation on keeping gamers safe online, with practical steps players to protect themselves from bad actors when making digital purchases.

 

The release follows the February 2026 launch of Guard Your Game, which introduced a suite of consumer education resources, including a localized Anti-Scam Booklet and Coda’s Online Safety URL Checker, endorsed by Indonesia’s Ministry of Creative Economy (EKRAF). The campaign now extends its reach through a new social media video, bringing Codee’s guidance to audiences in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore in English and Bahasa Indonesia.

Codee returns to take on scammers

First introduced as part of the Guard Your Game launch, Codee gives a face to Coda’s anti-scam campaign, bringing a bit of fun and familiarity to fraud awareness amongst gamers.. The new video picks up where the campaign’s booklet and online resources left off, walking gamers through how to spot common red flags: unsolicited reward notifications, suspicious links, and sites impersonating trusted platforms like Codashop, Coda’s digital content marketplace.

The video also reinforces the use of Coda’s Online Safety URL Checker at coda.co/online-safety, which allows gamers to verify whether a website is legitimate before engaging with it, a key tool introduced during Phase 1 of the campaign.

A persistent threat across Southeast Asia

Across Southeast Asia, digital scams have become increasingly rampant, and Indonesian gamers are among the most targeted. The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) State of Scams in Southeast Asia 2025 report found that nearly two-thirds of Indonesian adults encountered a scam in the past year, with one in three falling victim, and total losses in Indonesia alone estimated at IDR 49 trillion (approximately US$3.3 billion) over the past 12 months. Impersonation scams, fake reward claims, and phishing links targeting digital commerce platforms are among the most reported tactics, and the pattern is consistent across the markets where Guard Your Game is now active.

“At Coda, our commitment to safe and secure transactions goes hand in hand with delivering the best possible experience to gamers,” says Liz Adam, VP of Corporate Affairs at Coda. “Guard Your Game is a direct expression of that commitment. Scammers are constantly evolving their tactics, and we must do the same in how we educate and protect consumers. This video is a deliberate step to reach gamers where they are and instil ongoing vigilance against bad actors. We want every player across to transact with confidence, and to know exactly what to do when something does not look right.”

“This continued Guard Your Game campaign is a strong example of how industry and government can work together to build a safer digital environment for users. As Indonesia’s creative economy scales, there is an increasing urgency to protect our consumers, including those in the gaming community. We appreciate Coda’s creative approach in bringing back Codee as a key mascot to increase awareness of what safety should look like in online gaming. It is this kind of long-term investment in consumer awareness that builds the trust necessary for our creative economy sector to thrive. By localizing this regional initiative, the campaign ensures that vital online safety education resonates at a grassroots level, reinforcing our shared commitment to protect gamers and users in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.” Muhammad Neil El Himam, Deputy Chairman for Digital and Technology Creativity, Indonesian Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency (EKRAF).

EasySpanishTax.com Launches Simple DIY Modelo 210 Filing Solution for Non-Resident Property Owners in Spain

Published

on

By

Founder Björn Ingbrant introduces a faster, easier and more affordable way for foreign property owners to meet their Spanish tax obligations online.

MANILVA, Spain, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The EasySpanishTax.com has launched a practical online solution designed to help non-resident property owners in Spain file their annual Modelo 210 tax declaration quickly, easily and at a lower cost.

Created by founder and developer Björn Ingbrant, EasySpanishTax.com is built specifically for international property owners who want to manage their Spanish non-resident tax obligations without unnecessary complexity, delays or high professional fees.

Modelo 210 is a tax declaration required for non-resident property owners in Spain, including owners who use their property privately, rent it out, or keep it as a holiday home. For many foreign owners, the process has traditionally felt difficult and confusing, often requiring external assistance.

EasySpanishTax.com has been developed to change that.

“Many non-resident owners are fully capable of completing their Modelo 210 declaration themselves when the process is explained clearly,” says Björn Ingbrant, founder of EasySpanishTax.com. “Our goal is to make Spanish property tax filing simple, transparent and affordable.”

The platform guides users through the filing process step by step. Property owners enter the required information online, create an account and can manage their declarations in one secure place. The service is designed to save time, reduce costs and make annual tax filing more accessible for owners living abroad.

According to Ingbrant, the need for a simplified solution became clear after years of working with international property owners in Spain.

“Many owners were paying high fees every year for a declaration that could be made much easier with the right digital system,” he explains. “We wanted to create a platform where the owner remains in control, the process is faster, and the cost is reasonable.”

In addition to Modelo 210 filing, EasySpanishTax.com has introduced a property document storage feature for registered users. This allows clients to upload and store important property documents directly in their account, including title deeds, NIE certificates, passport copies, home insurance policies, water and electricity contracts, IBI tax receipts, community documents and previous tax declarations.

The new feature transforms the platform into more than a tax filing service. It gives property owners a central digital hub for managing key documents related to their Spanish property.

“For non-resident owners, having all property documents in one place is extremely useful,” says Ingbrant. “Whether they need a document for a future tax declaration, a lawyer, a bank, an insurance company or a property sale, everything can be stored and accessed from one account.”

EasySpanishTax.com is aimed at holiday home owners, second-home owners, retirees, investors and landlords who own property in Spain but live abroad. The platform is especially useful for owners in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries with a high number of Spanish property owners.

The company’s mission is to make Spanish property administration easier for non-residents by combining simple online tax filing with practical document management.

“Owning a property in Spain should be enjoyable,” says Ingbrant. “Tax filing and paperwork should not be a source of stress. EasySpanishTax.com is designed to give owners a simple, affordable and reliable way to stay organised and compliant.”

About EasySpanishTax.com

EasySpanishTax.com is an online platform created for non-resident property owners in Spain. The website helps users prepare and file Modelo 210 tax declarations through a simple do-it-yourself process. The users can also store and manage important property-related documents in their personal account, making EasySpanishTax.com a practical administration hub for Spanish property owners living abroad.

The platform is owned by the real estate company Enova Estates S.L. in Manilva, Costa del Sol, Spain.
