The rapid evolution of online scams, driven by transnational networks and mass-produced social engineering scenarios, has exposed the speed limitations of conventional detection, necessitating tighter inter-agency coordination. While LLMs show promise in scam identification, their role in accelerating integrated response frameworks remains underexplored. We propose Counter-Scam, a unified LLM-based multi-agent framework that orchestrates end-to-end response from initial detection to crime investigation. The framework first proposes safe data guidelines, emphasizing non-public scam data and secure dataset construction via scam-specific NER. Developed with insights from 37 stakeholders to reduce delays and improve analytical efficiency, the system integrates CSRA (multi-agent mitigation), CSRT (nine role-aligned NLP tasks), and CSRD (a corpus of 185,300 scam cases and 38,587 knowledge entries). Experiments show that fine-tuned sLLMs surpass commercial models with over 10% in all CSRT tasks and a 0.24 F1 improvement in scam-specific NER. This proves the framework's capability for enabling rapid, collaborative mitigation of online scam.
