Plain-English Summary

The SCAM Act aims to protect consumers from fraudulent schemes and deceptive business practices by giving federal agencies stronger tools to investigate and punish scammers. The bill likely increases penalties for fraud, improves coordination between law enforcement agencies, and may require companies to implement better safeguards against scams. This would affect consumers, businesses, and law enforcement agencies working to combat fraud.
