Combating International Cyber Scams and Recovering Funds for US Victims.
This Act mandates a comprehensive US strategy to dismantle international scam compounds, which use human trafficking victims to perpetrate massive cyber-enabled fraud against US citizens. It establishes an interagency task force and authorizes sanctions against criminal organizations and "enabling countries." Crucially, it requires the government to assess how seized criminal assets can be used to provide financial compensation to US victims who lost money in these scams.
