Anti-Scam FAQ: Are friends and family members of scam victims also victims?

Answer:

Yes, friends and family members of scam victims can also be considered victims of the scam.

This is because they may be affected by the financial and emotional consequences of the scam. For example, if a scam victim loses a significant amount of money, their friends and family members may have to help them financially or emotionally. Additionally, if a scam involves stolen personal information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, the friends and family members of the victim may also be at risk of identity theft. Overall, the impact of a scam can extend beyond the immediate victim to affect their friends and family members as well.
