What this bill does
This bill, S. 3355, titled the National Strategy for Combating Scams Act of 2025, aims to create a coordinated federal plan to fight scams. It would require the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to form a working group composed of representatives from various federal agencies. This group would develop a national strategy that includes defining what constitutes a scam, evaluating risks, and outlining prevention methods.
The working group must incorporate input from a wide range of community stakeholders, including scam survivors, older adults, individuals with disabilities, law enforcement, and businesses. The strategy will define agency roles, explore ways to improve data collection on scams and financial losses, and enhance coordination between federal, state, local, and private sector efforts. It also aims to improve coordination with foreign countries to combat scams originating abroad.
The bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. If passed, the working group would have two years to develop and publish the National Strategy. The strategy would also need to be updated at least every five years. Furthermore, the FBI, FTC, and CFPB would be required to adopt the common definition of "scam" developed by the working group within one year of its publication.
