AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill requires the Director of the FBI to form a working group with many federal agencies within 90 days to write a National Strategy for Combating Scams. The strategy must include input from scam survivors, older adults, people with disabilities, law enforcement, businesses, and others. It must set a definition of "scam," assign agency roles, and plan for coordinated complaint reporting, data collection, and work with private companies, state and local governments, and foreign countries. The working group must send the strategy to Congress and post it publicly within one year, and update it at least every 5 years. The FBI, Federal Trade Commission, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau must adopt the strategy's definition of "scam" within one year of its publication.
