                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for the designation of December 4, 2025, as 
                   ``National Scam Prevention Day''.

Whereas citizens of the United States reported losing $16,600,000,000 to scams 
        in 2024;
Whereas losses to such scams grew by 33 percent between 2023 and 2024;
Whereas the Federal Trade Commission estimates that the true amount of money 
        lost by citizens of the United States to scams in 2024 could be closer 
        to $158,300,000,000 when accounting for underreporting;
Whereas criminal organizations across the globe are engaging in coordinated and 
        complex scam operations;
Whereas troubling links exist between the People's Republic of China and 
        criminal scam syndicates operating in Southeast Asian countries such as 
        Burma, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, and the Kingdom of 
        Cambodia;
Whereas the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion and other Mexican cartels are 
        using revenue from scam operations to supplement the decreasing drug 
        trafficking proceeds received by such cartels;
Whereas hundreds of thousands of victims from at least 77 countries have been 
        trafficked and forced to conduct scams against their will under the 
        threat of torture;
Whereas citizens of the United States have had their lives torn apart after 
        being subjected to immense financial and psychological devastation by 
        scammers;
Whereas the United States must combat scams through a coordinated whole-of-
        government approach, partnerships with relevant private industry actors, 
        and educational campaigns; and
Whereas it is the responsibility of the Federal Government, private industry, 
        and nonprofits to raise awareness about how to identify and report 
        scams: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses support for 
the designation of ``National Scam Prevention Day''.
