What this bill does
H.R. 6425, the National Strategy for Combating Scams Act of 2025, would establish a national strategy to combat scams. The bill proposes creating a working group, led by the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and including representatives from numerous federal agencies, to develop this strategy. This group would consult with various stakeholders, including scam survivors, older adults, disability groups, law enforcement, and businesses.
The strategy would aim to define "scam," evaluate risks, assess prevention methods, and clarify agency roles. It would also focus on improving how federal agencies collect and share data on scams, coordinate with private sector entities, and respond to scam threats. The bill also addresses enhancing cooperation with state, local, and tribal governments, as well as foreign countries.
After its development, the National Strategy for Combating Scams would be submitted to relevant congressional committees and made public. The working group would be required to update the strategy at least every five years.
