Stop Scams Caucus

Chairman: Congressman Jefferson Shreve 

Co-Chairs: Representatives Gabe Amo (D-RI-01), Zach Nunn (R-IA-03), and Jamie Raskin (D-MD-08)

In 2024, the FBI received reports of $16.6 billion in losses to scams, though experts believe true losses could be $60 billion – $158 billion annually for Americans. Scams are increasingly driven by sophisticated international networks, making prevention and enforcement a growing challenge.

About the Caucus

The bipartisan Stop Scams Caucus is committed to protecting Americans from financial fraud, cyber scams, and cross-border criminal networks. With scams costing Americans tens of billions of dollars each year, the caucus serves as a central hub in Congress to raise awareness, advance policy solutions, and coordinate with public and private partners working to safeguard the public.
