Creates a national plan to fight scams by making federal agencies work together and listen to public feedback.
This bill would create a national plan to fight scams, which cost Americans over $12 billion last year. It would require the FBI to lead a group of federal agencies to develop this plan, making them work together to better prevent scams and help victims. The plan would also set a common definition for 'scam' across key agencies, aiming to protect people from fraud.
Currently, at least 13 federal agencies work to counter scams, but they largely act on their own, leading to uncoordinated efforts. Consumers reported losing over $12 billion to fraud in 2024, a 25% increase from the prior year. If this bill passes, the FBI would lead a working group of 17 federal agencies to create a single, national strategy to fight scams, replacing the current independent efforts. This would aim to better coordinate how agencies prevent fraud, collect data, and help victims, with the FBI, FTC, and CFPB adopting a common definition of 'scam'.
