ReportScams.gov Act

The ReportScams.gov Act establishes a comprehensive federal framework to combat scams by creating a centralized website, reportscams.gov, where the public can access prevention resources, report incidents, and find victim assistance. This initiative requires the Office of Management and Budget to set a national priority goal for reducing scams and form an interagency Steering Committee involving major departments like the FBI, FTC, and Secret Service to develop a unified action plan. The bill mandates the creation of a secure online portal that routes scam reports to relevant federal and state authorities while providing detailed, up-to-date information on recognizing and avoiding fraud. Additionally, the legislation ensures accountability through quarterly progress reviews, annual public reports on scam trends and financial losses, and a specific authority for agencies to transfer funds to support these coordinated efforts.
