Requires online dating services to notify members who have messaged an account that was banned for suspected fraud, and gives the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general power to enforce the requirement.

• Requires providers to notify a member within 24 hours after a fraud ban, with delays allowed for provider judgment or a law enforcement request, and then within 3 days after the delay ends.
• Requires each notice to include the banned account's identifier, the most recent contact time, a warning not to send cash or financial information, fraud-avoidance tips, and customer service contact information.
• Treats violations as unfair or deceptive practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act, lets state attorneys general bring civil actions, and preempts conflicting state notification rules.
• Takes effect one year after enactment and shields providers from liability for claims based on compliance with the notification requirement.
