Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act
HR 5967 establishes a federal task force led by the FTC and DOJ to combat scams. The task force, including agencies like the FBI, SEC, and Social Security Administration, will develop a national strategy using existing tools such as the Consumer Sentinel Network and Internet Crime Complaint Center. Key actions include public education, coordination with industry (like banks and social media platforms), and enforcement using current laws against fraud and money laundering. The task force must report to Congress within one year and dissolve after 10 years.
