H.Res. 931 is a symbolic resolution expressing House support for designating December 4, 2025, as "National Scam Prevention Day." The resolution does not create binding law or direct any government action; instead, it acknowledges the serious problem of financial scams affecting Americans and calls for increased awareness and prevention efforts. According to the resolution, Americans lost at least $16.6 billion to scams in 2024, with losses growing 33 percent from the previous year, and the Federal Trade Commission estimates true losses could exceed $158 billion when accounting for unreported cases. The resolution highlights that scam operations are increasingly coordinated internationally, with connections to criminal organizations in China, Southeast Asia, and Mexican drug cartels, and notes that hundreds of thousands of trafficking victims worldwide have been forced to conduct scams. The resolution emphasizes that combating scams requires coordinated efforts across government agencies, private industry partnerships, and public education campaigns to help Americans identify and report fraudulent activity.
