Bill > HRes931

This resolution expresses support for designating December 4, 2025, as "National Scam Prevention Day" while highlighting the significant scale and impact of scams in the United States. The resolution cites alarming statistics, noting that U.S. citizens reported losing $16.6 billion to scams in 2024, with the Federal Trade Commission estimating the true loss could be as high as $158.3 billion when accounting for underreporting. It also draws attention to the global nature of scam operations, including troubling connections between criminal organizations in China, Southeast Asian countries, and Mexican cartels, and emphasizes that hundreds of thousands of victims from 77 countries have been trafficked and forced to conduct scams under threat of torture. The resolution underscores the devastating financial and psychological toll on victims and calls for a coordinated approach involving the government, private industry, and nonprofits to combat scams through awareness, education, and reporting mechanisms.
