Designates March 6, 2025 as “National Slam the Scam Day” to raise public awareness about scams in which criminals impersonate government agencies (Social Security, Medicare, Postal Service, IRS, etc.). It calls for public education, reporting, and protective actions by law enforcement, consumer groups, telephone companies, aging services, and financial institutions and honors people who work to stop these impersonation scams. The resolution’s preamble highlights recent statistics on financial losses and the disproportionate harm to older adults, and it urges preventive measures like ignoring false solicitations and reporting suspected scams.
