Whereas although great strides have been made toward

Whereas domestic violence affects women, men, and children

in the United States; 
Whereas family violence accounted for 11 percent of all re-
ported and unreported violence between 1998 and 2002; 
Whereas about 22 percent of murders in 2002 were family 
murders; 
Whereas family members were responsible for 43 percent of

To criminalize Internet scams involving fraudulently obtaining personal 
information, commonly known as phishing. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 3, 2005 
Ms. HOOLEY (for herself, Mr. ENGEL, and Mr. CASE) introduced the following 
bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
A BILL 
To criminalize Internet scams involving fraudulently obtain-
ing personal information, commonly known as phishing. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Anti-phishing Act of 
2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) American society is increasingly dependent 
on the Internet for communications, entertainment, 
commerce, and banking.
(2) For the Internet to reach its full potential 
in these and other respects, it must continue to be 
a trustworthy medium. This means, for example, 
that Internet users should be able to trust the stated 
origin of Internet communications and the stated 
destination of Internet hyperlinks. 
(3) Internet users are increasingly subjected to 
scams based on misleading or false communications 
that trick the user into sending money, or trick the 
user into revealing enough information to enable 
various forms of identify theft that result in finan-
cial loss. 
(4) One class of such scams, called ‘‘phishing’’, 
uses false e-mail return addresses, stolen graphics, 
stylistic 
imitation, 
misleading 
or 
disguised 
hyperlinks, so-called ‘‘social engineering’’, and other 
artifices to trick users into revealing personally iden-
tifiable information. After obtaining this informa-
tion, the ‘‘phisher’’ then uses the information to cre-
ate unlawful identification documents and/or to un-
lawfully obtain money or property. 
(5) These crimes victimize not only the individ-
uals whose information is stolen, but the entire on-
line community, including millions of people who rely
on the integrity of the Internet’s system of addresses 
and hyperlinks. 
SEC. 3. CRIMINAL OFFENSE. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 63 of title 18, United 
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing: 
‘‘§ 1351. Internet fraud 
‘‘(a) WEBSITE.—Whoever knowingly, with the intent 
to carry on any activity which would be a Federal or State 
crime of fraud or identity theft— 
‘‘(1) creates or procures the creation of a 
website or domain name that represents itself as a 
legitimate online business, without the authority or 
approval of the registered owner of the actual 
website or domain name of the legitimate online

‘‘(2) uses that website or domain name to in-

other;
