Summary
This House Resolution expresses support for designating December 4, 2025, as "National Scam Prevention Day" to raise awareness about the pervasive issue of scams. It notes that U.S. citizens reported losing an estimated $16.6 billion to scams in 2024, a 33 percent increase from the previous year, with actual losses potentially much higher due to underreporting. The resolution highlights that criminal organizations, including those linked to the People's Republic of China and Mexican cartels, are engaging in complex scam operations, often involving human trafficking and forced labor. It underscores the devastating financial and psychological impact on victims and calls for a whole-of-government approach , partnerships with industry, and educational campaigns to combat scams effectively.
