Online dating users would get warnings if they matched with someone banned for fraud.
This bill would require online dating services to tell users if they've interacted with someone banned for trying to commit fraud. It aims to protect people from romance scams by giving them important warnings and safety tips. Currently, there's no federal rule for these notifications.
Today, there is no federal law requiring online dating services to tell users if they've communicated with someone banned for fraud. If this bill passes, online dating services would be required to send clear fraud ban notifications, including specific details and safety advice, to affected users within 24 hours (or up to 3 days in some cases). This would create a national standard for these notifications.
