RESOLUTION
Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for
programs and activities to prevent perpetrators of fraud
from victimizing senior citizens.
Whereas perpetrators of mail, telemarketing, and Internet
fraud frequently target their schemes at senior citizens
because seniors are often vulnerable and trusting people;
Whereas, as victims of such schemes, many senior citizens
have been robbed of their hard-earned life savings and
frequently pay an emotional cost, losing not only their
money, but also their self-respect and dignity;
Whereas perpetrators of fraudulent schemes against Amer-
ican seniors often operate outside the United States,
reaching their victims through the mail, telephone lines,
and the Internet;

Whereas mail fraud investigations by the Postal Inspection
Service 
in 
fiscal 
year 
2001

in 
over

Whereas the Postal Inspection Service, in an effort to curb
cross-border fraud, is involved in 3 major fraud task
forces with law enforcement officials in Canada, namely,
Project Colt in Montreal, The Strategic Partnership in
Toronto, and Project Emptor in Vancouver;
Whereas consumer awareness is the best protection from
fraudulent schemes; and
Whereas it is vital to increase public awareness of the enor-
mous impact that fraud has on senior citizens in the
United States, and to educate the public, senior citizens,
their families, and their caregivers about the signs of
fraudulent activities and how to report suspected fraudu-
lent activities to the appropriate authorities: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives hereby
expresses its support for programs and activities—
