If you messaged with an account that gets banned for a major fraud risk, the dating service must send you a clear warning and safety tips. The FTC and state officials can enforce it, and it starts one year after enactment.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Romance Scam Prevention Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 438.
Latest action on H.R. 2481: Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 438.
Who this affects: This mainly affects people who use online dating services and the companies that run them. It also affects federal and state consumer protection enforcers, because it gives them a clear, specific rule to enforce and sets how state officials can bring cases alongside (or not alongside) the FTC.
Why this matters: Romance scams often work because targets don’t realize they are talking to someone using a fake identity until money is already gone. This bill tries to shorten that window by requiring fast, standardized warnings when a platform decides a profile poses a significant fraud risk and bans it. At the same time, it builds in delay options—especially for law enforcement investigations—and it creates one national approach that can override some state and local notification rules.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
