Romance Scam Prevention Act
The Senate debated the Romance Scam Prevention Act, a bill requiring online dating apps and websites to notify users when they have exchanged messages with someone who has been banned for fraud, including warnings that the banned user may be using a false identity and advice not to send money or financial information. Enforcement would fall to the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. Senator Blackburn urged passage, saying criminal groups use dating sites to take billions of dollars a year from Americans, especially senior citizens looking for companionship, and that the bill would require apps to warn users when they have been in contact with a scammer.Written by AI from the debate.
