A resolution designating March 5, 2026, as "National Slam the Scam Day" to raise awareness about pervasive scams and to prevent government imposter scams and other types of scams by promoting education about such scams.

This Senate resolution proposes to officially designate March 5, 2026, as National Slam the Scam Day. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about pervasive scams affecting Americans and promote education about how to identify and avoid them, with particular focus on government imposter scams where fraudsters falsely claim to represent federal agencies.

As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential approval. If passed, it would serve as a symbolic designation intended to encourage awareness campaigns and educational efforts about fraud prevention. The practical impact would be limited to promoting public consciousness about scam prevention on a designated day, rather than implementing new regulations or enforcement mechanisms.

The resolution was introduced on March 5, 2026, by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and remains in the early stages of the legislative process, having been submitted to the Senate but not yet assigned to committee for consideration.
