Romance Scam Prevention Act mandates online dating services to notify users of fraud bans.
The Romance Scam Prevention Act requires online dating service providers to notify members if they have communicated with a banned member. Notifications must include the banned member's identifier, a warning about potential fraud, and advice on avoiding scams. The Federal Trade Commission enforces this requirement, and states cannot bring related actions while the FTC is involved. The act also provides safe harbor for providers complying with these notification requirements.
