The Office of Consumer Advocacy and Outreach created by this bill will provide information to targeted consumers in these communities on how to protect themselves against fraudulent schemes and where to seek redress if they become a victim. The Office will work with law enforcement to track and investigate fraud schemes that target immigrants. the elderly. minorities and other communities. This legislation will create. develop. and manage an anonymous tip program that will allow individuals to report fraud schemes that specifically target their community. The tip program will allow anyone with knowledge of a fraud scheme involving deceptive advertising to get a reward for reporting it directly to the experts who work at the Federal Trade Commission.
