The bill highlights the importance of supporting scam survivors and providing resources to help them recover from the financial and emotional toll of being scammed. It also emphasizes the need for increased education and prevention efforts to protect individuals from falling victim to scams in the future.
If passed, this bill would officially recognize May 9, 2024, as "National Scam Survivor Day" and encourage individuals, organizations, and communities to come together to support and empower scam survivors. This designation would serve as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and informed to prevent falling victim to scams, as well as a day to honor those who have overcome the challenges of being scammed.
