This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating May 14, 2026, as 'National Scam Survivor Day.' It recognizes that Americans lost more than $195 billion to scams in 2024 — a $35 billion increase from the prior year — and that roughly 3 million fraud reports were filed with the Federal Trade Commission in 2025. The resolution highlights the growing use of AI-generated audio and video in scams, and notes that veterans, seniors, and young adults are among the most targeted groups. It calls for improved public awareness, better access to prevention resources, and stronger coordination among government, private, and nonprofit organizations to support survivors and hold scammers accountable.
