Romance Scam Prevention Act mandates fraud ban notifications for online dating services.
The Romance Scam Prevention Act requires online dating service providers to notify members if they have communicated with a banned member. The notification must include the banned member's identifier, a warning about potential fraud, advice on avoiding scams, and customer service contact information. The notification must be clear, conspicuous, and delivered via email, text, or other agreed-upon means. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce this provision, preempting state laws on the matter. The act takes effect one year after enactment.
