Bill overview
The Stop Coronavirus Scams Act of 2020 aims to combat fraudulent schemes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It increases the penalties for individuals who falsely disguise their caller ID to deceive people into providing money, personal information, or other valuables. The bill specifically targets communications that falsely suggest financial opportunities or misleading offers related to COVID-19 testing, treatment, or vaccines. The Federal Communications Commission will be responsible for creating regulations to define what constitutes a ‘covered communication’ and enforce these new penalties.
