Bill > HR7215

This bill, known as the Stop SCAMS Act, mandates a coordinated government-wide effort to combat scams, cyberfraud, abuse, manipulation, and swindles. It requires the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in conjunction with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to develop and implement a unified strategy to counter scams within one year of enactment. This strategy will include establishing a single definition for "scam" and various scam types, and exploring ways to standardize data collection on scams, such as tracking dollar losses and payment methods, to better identify them. Furthermore, within two years, these agencies must collectively produce a single government-wide estimate of the number of consumers affected by scams annually and the total dollar losses incurred. Each agency, including the FBI, CFPB, and FTC, will also be required to report their own scam-related complaint data and dollar loss estimates, and to develop plans and metrics to measure the effectiveness of their anti-scam training programs.
