## Summary

**Creates the Office of the National Fraud and Scam Prevention in the Executive Office of the President** to serve as the central federal coordinator for fraud and scam prevention. A Presidentially appointed Director would advise the President, set up a fraud data shield for sharing non-personally-identifiable scam data, lead integrated federal incident responses to major campaigns, coordinate with the private sector and relevant agencies, and the office would terminate five years after enactment. - Families and consumers would gain a single federal lead focused on detecting and responding to large scams, including campaigns that cause more than $5.0 million in losses or affect over 1,000 people. - Businesses, researchers, and others could share non-personally-identifiable scam data through a new data shield and receive civil liability protection for good faith disclosures. - Federal agencies and law enforcement would get centralized coordination and advisory support from the Office to align strategy, review budgets for consistency with national policy, and coordinate incident response across entities such as the FBI, Secret Service, Treasury units, FTC, and FCC.
