Think About It!
Do Soldiers Really Have Time To Romance On Facebook When They’re In A War Zone?
Yes, the United States (and other countries) has combat troops all around the world fighting Terrorists, Keeping the Peach, and performing operations of all kinds, but do you really think they have the time and the internet connections to be on Facebook or a Dating Website chatting with you?
Are these the kind of people you are connecting with on Facebook and Dating Sites?
Come On!!! Don’t Be Foolish!
This is who you are really talking with: A group of suspects believed to be part of a love scam syndicate were arrested by police in Kuala Lumpur on Dec 12, 2016
Aside from the fact that sharing their location is probably a Courts Martial Offense, these men and women are fighting a war!
Many scammers even go so far as to share a copy of their Military Identification to PROVE THEY ARE REAL! But this act actually proves they are a scammer, since making a copy of a Military ID is a crime in most Western Countries – so they will not do that!
You have to accept the responsibility for thinking things through and recognizing that they just are not doing that, regardless of where you are or what culture you belong to, it is just common sense.
It is understandable that you may fall for this initially, but you have to use common sense and think it through. You have to stop this and not become a victim of this multiple times either.
Regardless of where they say they are, or what they say they are doing, if you are contacted by a member of the military – U.S., British, German, Russian, or Martian – if they are in the field – IT IS A SCAM! PERIOD!
We know that it is difficult to accept this fact. We know, because our own employees have fallen for scams in the past as well (which is why they work for us now). But scammers depend on you not thinking logically. As soon as you start to use your intelligence, the scam falls apart.
If you have been scammed and not sent any money yet, just break it off and report the scammer on our site or on www.Anyscam.com.
If you have already sent money – if it was internationally understand you will not see you money again and that you were scammed. This is a bitter pill to swallow, but now you need to take the right steps to end this and properly report it.
We are truly sorry this has happened to you. Now that you know, you will need to focus on reality and walk away from the fantasy.
We wish you the best of luck, and if we can help you please contact us – our email is info@RomanceScamsNow.com

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
