Stop Scamming Americans Act

This legislation proposes to amend the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to address online scam activity targeting U.S. citizens. It authorizes the Secretary of State to establish specialized training for certain Foreign Service personnel, including chiefs of mission and deputy chiefs of mission, who are assigned to countries with significant online scam operations. The training is designed to equip these officers with knowledge and strategies to combat these threats. It will cover the involvement of transnational criminal organizations , the issue of human trafficking within scam centers, and instances of foreign government complicity and corruption related to these scams. Additionally, the training will focus on identifying effective diplomatic methods to prevent and respond to such illicit activities.
