This resolution officially designates March 6, 2025, as "National Slam the Scam Day" to combat the widespread issue of government imposter scams and other fraudulent activities. The designation aims to raise public awareness and amplify educational efforts regarding scams where individuals impersonate government employees, often through various communication channels like mail, phone, or email. These pervasive scams cost United States consumers billions of dollars annually, disproportionately affecting older adults and eroding trust in government agencies. The resolution encourages law enforcement agencies, consumer protection groups, and financial institutions to play vital roles in preventing these scams and educating the public. It also urges individuals to ignore suspicious solicitations, share information about scams with family and friends, and report fraudulent activities to relevant agencies such as the Office of the Inspector General of the Social Security Administration or the Federal Trade Commission. The initiative seeks to implement policies and programs to protect citizens from these harmful schemes and honors those working to fight against them.
