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

Hi, I have a friend that’s dating a Filipina online by the name of Lovely Gell & he met her on a Christian dating site, They started off talking as friends, He added her on Facebook & fell in love quickly but things started getting really bad, She’s controlling him & even turned him against his family & friends (myself included), Than this is where things get worse, She asks him for $700 & makes up some story about getting another job in a different country but when he didn’t have it, She said that she would “ask her ex”, I was also told by the brother of my friend that this girl is the suicidal type that cuts herself & threatens suicide & my friend had tried to break it off with her but she threatened him, She sucked him right back in by deceiving him & further turning him against everyone, I once told her off by sending her a message on Facebook due to the problems she’s caused & calling her out for scamming my friend & from what I hear, She cried & told my friend about it (Playing the victim & using tears to make herself look good to him) than my friend gets pissed off with me for telling her off & calling her out.. My friends brother also told me that Lovely Gell is now scamming him (my friend) & that he is actually sending her money, He had even bought a passport. My friend is also making excuses for her by saying that he’d only send her money because she is his “girlfriend” & a boyfriend would do that for his gf, Umm NOPE! Not online. This has been going on since June & I need some answers, Is this in anyway him being scammed by her? I am worried. Is he a victim of a scam?
