YBB – Warnings about alleged “fraud” and “scam” involving the name Japan Youth Summit have created confusion among prospective participants. As different parties make claims about which program, website, or account represents the official Japan Youth Summit, an important question remains: who has the legal authority to use and organize the program under the Japan Youth Summit name?
For prospective participants, this issue goes beyond social media claims. The identity of an organizer, the ownership of a trademark, authorization to use a program name, and the evidence supporting public accusations can all affect the credibility and legitimacy of an international program.
Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB) is therefore responding to the issue by referring to publicly available statements, trademark documentation, and information related to the organization of Japan Youth Summit.
Global Youth Ambassador Previously Published “Fraud & Scam” Warnings
The issue began after the Instagram account @japanyouthsummit, using the identity of Global Youth Ambassador (GYA) and Japan Youth Summit, published a warning on May 16, 2024 titled “BEWARE OF FRAUD AND SCAM IN THE NAME OF JAPAN YOUTH SUMMIT!”
According to the published content, the account stated that Japan Youth Summit was organized “under Global Youth Ambassador only.” The post also identified @globalyouthambassador and @japanyouthsummit as the accounts associated with its official communication.
The same warning further stated, “WE DO NOT HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS!” and declared that other accounts using the JYS name were not affiliated with them. The post also used the terms “FRAUD” and “SCAM” in connection with accounts or platforms that it considered to be impersonating Japan Youth Summit.
This means that the statement did more than issue a general warning. It also presented a public claim regarding which party should be considered the official representative of Japan Youth Summit.
A Second “Scam Alert” Specifically Mentioned japanyouthsummit.com
A similar statement appeared again on June 27, 2025.
In a post titled “SCAM ALERT – PLEASE READ,” the same account referred to “fake websites and unofficial accounts claiming to be ‘Japan Youth Summit’.”
This time, the statement specifically said:
“japanyouthsummit.com is NOT ours.”
The post also identified globalyouthambassador.com as its “ONLY official website” and referred to The 4th Japan Youth Summit as the event it claimed as its official program.
These public statements raise an important question. If one party describes another website, account, or program as “fake,” “fraud,” or a “scam,” what evidence and legal authority support that statement?
Who Holds the Rights to the Japan Youth Summit Name?
According to the trademark certificate referenced by YBB, Japan Youth Summit is registered under Registration Number IDM001273026, with Muhammad Aldi Subakti listed as the trademark holder. The filing date recorded in the certificate is May 17, 2024. Here’s the trademark certificate.
Muhammad Aldi Subakti is also the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB), the organization that uses the Japan Youth Summit trademark in organizing the program.
The existence of a registered trademark means that the use of the Japan Youth Summit name and identity is not simply a matter of social media ownership or website visibility. It is also connected to registered intellectual property rights.
Under Indonesia’s Trademark and Geographical Indications Law, a registered trademark owner may authorize another party to use the trademark through a license or other legally recognized arrangement.
According to YBB and the trademark holder, no permission, license, or authorization has been granted to the Global Youth Ambassador to use the Japan Youth Summit trademark or organize a program under that name.
Therefore, YBB maintains that the public discussion should focus on verifiable documentation: who holds the trademark, who has received authorization, and what legal basis supports the use of the Japan Youth Summit name?
What Is the Basis for the “Fake,” “Fraud,” and “Scam” Claims?
The statements published by Global Youth Ambassador contain serious terms, including “fake,” “fraud,” “scam,” and “unofficial accounts.”
Such statements can influence the reputation of another organization and affect the decisions of prospective participants. Therefore, YBB believes that claims of this nature should be supported by evidence that can be independently verified.
The central question is straightforward.
If the Global Youth Ambassador is not the registered trademark holder and has not received authorization from the trademark holder, what is the basis for claiming that another Japan Youth Summit website or organizer is “fake,” “fraud,” or a “scam”?
YBB is not asking the public to accept its position without question. Instead, YBB believes that the same standard of verification should apply to every party involved.
If the Global Youth Ambassador has a cooperation agreement, license, authorization, or another legal document establishing its right to organize Japan Youth Summit, such documentation could clarify the basis of its authority to the public.
However, if such authority cannot be demonstrated, the public has a legitimate reason to question claims regarding who is “official,” “fake,” or “unofficial.”
Serious Accusations Should Be Supported by Evidence
YBB does not conclude that the Global Youth Ambassador has committed fraud or operated a scam.
However, the terms “fraud,” “scam,” and “fake” were publicly used by the Global Youth Ambassador in relation to the Japan Youth Summit name. Therefore, YBB believes that the party making those claims should also be prepared to explain the factual and legal basis behind them.
This distinction is important.
The issue is not about responding to one accusation with another accusation. Instead, it is about establishing a clear standard: serious public claims should be supported by verifiable facts, documents, and evidence.
If a party asks prospective participants to believe that another organizer or website is unauthorized, that party should also be able to demonstrate its own authority to use and organize the program under the Japan Youth Summit name.
Ultimately, YBB believes that the public should assess the available evidence rather than rely solely on statements made through social media.

What Prospective Participants Have the Right to Ask
This issue is particularly important for prospective participants.
Before registering or making a payment, participants have the right to know who is organizing the program, who owns the relevant trademark, whether the organizer has authorization to use the program name, and whether supporting documents can be provided.
These questions are not limited to the Japan Youth Summit. The same level of verification should apply to any international program, including programs promoted by Global Youth Ambassador or other organizations.
A large social media following, the use of the word “official,” or strong online visibility does not automatically establish legal authority to organize a particular program.
Therefore, prospective participants should independently verify the organizer’s identity, the ownership or authorization behind the program name, the official communication channels, supporting documents, registration procedures, and payment mechanisms.
Participants deserve clarity before making a payment, not after a problem occurs.
How to Stay Connected With the Official Japan Youth Summit by YBB

If prospective participants encounter different websites, accounts, contact details, or registration channels using the Japan Youth Summit name, they should avoid making immediate payments or sharing personal information.
Instead, they are encouraged to contact YBB through the official channels and verify the information first.
Do not rely solely on the Japan Youth Summit name. Verify who is actually organizing the program and what authority supports the use of that name.
Conclusion
The Japan Youth Summit issue is not simply about which party calls itself “official” or which party labels another as “fake,” “fraud,” or a “scam.”
The more fundamental questions are clear: Who holds the trademark? Who has received authorization to use it? Who is organizing the program? And what evidence supports each party’s public claims?
YBB has referred to the Japan Youth Summit trademark documentation and maintains that the trademark holder and YBB have never granted Global Youth Ambassador permission, a license, or authorization to use the trademark or organize Japan Youth Summit.
Therefore, if the Global Youth Ambassador continues to claim authority over the Japan Youth Summit while describing other parties or channels as “fake,” “fraud,” or a “scam,” YBB believes that the basis, documentation, and evidence supporting those claims should be presented publicly.
YBB does not ask the public to believe one side without verification. Instead, prospective participants are encouraged to examine the available evidence, verify the trademark holder, identify the organizer, and confirm the legal basis for the use of the Japan Youth Summit name.
For participants, this verification is not merely a matter of branding. It is part of the right to receive clear, accountable, and verifiable information before registering or making a payment.
