Federal agencies would create a unified plan to better protect people from scams.
This bill, called the Stop SCAMS Act, would make federal agencies work together to fight scams. It would create a single strategy, define what a scam is, and track scam data more consistently across the government. This aims to give people better protection from financial fraud and clearer information about its impact.
Today, there isn't a single, coordinated government plan to fight scams, and different agencies use different definitions and data collection methods. If this bill passes, the FBI would lead a government-wide effort to create one unified strategy, define scams consistently, and collect data in a harmonized way. This would also lead to a single, government-wide estimate of scam impacts and improved public reporting from key agencies within one to two years.
