Protecting Seniors from Scams: New Reports and Public Information.

This act aims to better protect seniors from scams, especially during emergencies. It requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to report on scams targeting older adults and to create an easily accessible website with information to help seniors and their families avoid these threats.
Key points
The FTC will report on the number and types of scams targeting seniors, including recommendations on how to prevent them, especially during national emergencies.
The FTC will create and update a web portal with information on scams, searchable by region and type, including contacts for law enforcement and adult protective services.
The FTC will work with media and law enforcement to distribute this information to seniors, their families, and caregivers, increasing awareness of risks.
