Trump Administration Launches Fraud Reporting Incentive

GRAND RAPIDS, MI. - The Trump administration launched a fraud reporting incentive program on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. The program will allow individuals to report fraud to the American government using the recently unveiled, America.gov website.

The administration launched America.gov on September 29, 2026, as an all-inclusive, one stop web portal for individuals to conduct personal and official business as they relate to the American government.

The administration's push against fraudulent activities is a central mandate in the President's initiative and forms one of Vice President JD Vance's primary tasks.

The fraud incentive program signing on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, was attended by several administration officials including Stephen Miller, Mehmet Oz and internet fraud reporting personality, Nick Shirley.

Shirley gained notoriety recently for uncovering billions of dollars in fraud in Minnesota related to Somali immigrants receipt of grants for alleged "education opportunities."

Shirley's investigation notably identified one Somali-run daycare center where the sign read, " Quality Learing Center," emphasizing the irony of the obvious misspelling for "Learning" with "Learing."

The administration's push against fraud was expanded in 2026 to include voter registration and election fraud with several notable arrests occurring from August through October of 2026.
