Why Do We Separate Information?
We help victims in different stages of recovery, and not all information is suitable for victims. This collection of articles is for the family and friends of scam victims. We separate it so that you can find the information you are looking for easily.
Victims Need Your Help!
Only about 1/3 of scam victims will effectively recover from their experience. 2/3 are lost to anger and rage (including vigilantism), or some form of denial or mental illness. If you tell them you understand, do not judge or blame them, and get them talking they are much more likely to recover from this experience.
It is ok for you to ask for help too! There is no shame in asking for and accepting help!
In addition to our qualified support groups, we recommend that all victims go to a local trauma counselor or therapist.
