Requires the FBI Director, in coordination with the CFPB, FTC, and other agencies, to develop a governmentwide strategy to counter scams. Mandates a single definition of ‘‘scam,’’ harmonized data collection, agency reports of complaints and losses, public annual estimates, and metrics to measure anti-scam training effectiveness within specified timeframes.
Funding and resourcing: liberals demand funding; conservatives worry about unfunded mandates
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly assigns responsibility and deadlines for a governmentwide anti-scam effort and requires concrete outputs (strategy, definition, harmonized data collection, estimates, and reporting), but it leaves substantial substantive detail to agency discretion and omits fiscal and safeguard provisions.

Funding and resourcing: liberals demand funding; conservatives worry about unfunded mandates
Likely broadly supportive because the bill centralizes anti-scam efforts, improves data, and elevates consumer protections.
Would push for strong privacy safeguards, adequate funding, and attention to vulnerable communities during implementation.
Generally favorable to a coordinated federal response but cautious about costs, duplication, and clear metrics.
Would seek clarity on definitions, implementation timelines, and measurable outcomes before full endorsement.
Supports combating fraud and protecting consumers in principle but worries about expanding federal bureaucracy, mission creep, and data-collection burdens.
Likely to press for limits on new authority and assurances there are no unfunded mandates.
