A Message From The Real Chris Shaw

His Real Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/H60HAWK

We Received A Comment Recently From A Real Life Impersonation Victim About The Theft And Use Of His Photos:

Real Soldiers having their Photo’s and Names Stolen by imposters, mostly in Nigeria. I have over 193 Fake Facebook Pages using all of my Pictures and variations of my Name. Nigerian Fraud Imposters posing as me – using my photos and full name pretending and asking single women for money. On going problem. at one point I discovered over 193 fake Facebook sites using my name (Forward and Backwards) and photos

Mr. Chris Shaw

Stolen Photos Of Chris Shaw Used By Scammers

We are sincerely thankful for his reaching out in this way.

So many women refuse to believe that those photos were stolen and simply used by scammers – many actually believe they are either in love with the real man in the photos or that he personally is scamming them from Nigeria or Ghana or wherever. We have said it many times, U.S. Soldiers in War Zones do not have the time or ability to be online talking to strangers on Facebook or Dating Sites.

Their photos are stolen, and they are victims too of identity theft. They are being impersonated for the sole purpose of defrauding you and other women of your money, breaking your hearts and lives in the process.

Regardless of how hard you fell for a photo, this is the reality of these scams and you have to accept it.

If you can’t you are on the path to mental illness.

We offer a scam victims’ support group specifically for women if you would like to join us, here is the link on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RSN.Support.Group.27

Romance scams are one of the most despicable of crimes and we all need to work together to bring them to an end!

Our thanks to Mr. Shaw for his message.

We hope others who have had their photos and identities stolen by scammers will also reach out to us. They can email us at contact@AgainstRomanceScams.org

FAQ: How Do You Properly Report Scammers?

It is essential that law enforcement knows about scams & scammers, even though there is nothing (in most cases) that they can do.

Always report scams involving money lost or where you received money to:

  1. Local Police – ask them to take an “informational” police report – say you need it for your insurance
  2. Your National Police or FBI (www.IC3.gov)
  3. The Scars Worldwide Reporting Network HERE or on www.Anyscam.com

This helps your government understand the problem, and allows law enforcement to add scammers on watch lists worldwide.

    I have been scammed by Chris Shaw too. Thankfully, no damage caused other than a little harm to my pride. But I still want to note this here. I found out very quickly that this wasn’t a real man with real intentions. I have no idea where this could have ended. Surely not good for me.. I was contacted via the Spanish dating site JAUMO.

A Note About Labeling!

We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!

A Question of Trust

At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.

Statement About Victim Blaming

Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and to not blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and to help victims avoid scams in the future. At times this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims, we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.

These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.

Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
