The Safeguarding Consumers from Advertising Misconduct Act, also known as the SCAM Act, aims to combat online scams by prohibiting online platforms from displaying fraudulent or deceptive ads. It mandates that online platforms verify the identity of advertisers before allowing paid ads and implement systems to detect fraudulent ads. Injured parties can bring civil actions against violators. The Federal Trade Commission must report on the need for additional statutory authority to prevent online scams and will enforce the Act.
