National Strategy to Combat Scams: Better Protection Against Cybercriminals
This act aims to establish a national strategy to combat scams, which increasingly use artificial intelligence. This will better protect citizens from losing money and data, and provide coordinated support if they become victims of scams. The changes are intended to make reporting scams easier and increase the effectiveness of law enforcement actions.
Key points
A working group led by the FBI will be established to develop a coherent strategy to combat scams, involving multiple federal agencies.
The strategy will incorporate feedback from scam survivors, older adults, individuals with disabilities, and experts to better address societal needs.
A common definition of scam will be adopted by key agencies (FBI, FTC, CFPB) to facilitate coordination and data collection.
Improved scam reporting, data collection, and coordination among federal, state, and local agencies, as well as with the private sector.
Increased international coordination to combat large-scale scams originating abroad.
