Every day, Americans lose billions to online “pig-butchering” scams run by foreign criminal syndicates—and many of these operations are protected and profiting Myanmar’s brutal military junta.

Under junta control, entire scam compounds in Myanmar traffic and enslave tens of thousands of people to defraud victims across the world, including right here in the United States. The stolen money helps fund the junta’s war against its own people and fuels a global criminal industry that preys on ordinary Americans.

H.R. 5490, the Dismantle Foreign Scam Syndicates Act, would create a U.S. federal task force to take down these networks, sanction the regimes that shelter them, and protect American consumers from devastating losses.

Tell Congress: Stand with victims. Hold Myanmar’s military and its criminal allies accountable. Pass H.R. 5490 now!
