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

But understand that you have never been talking to HER. You were talking to a team of online criminals using stolen photos. In fact, there is no HER, just THEY.
[COMMENT REMOVED FOR VIOLATIONS OF OUR POLICIES – PERSON BANNED FROM FUTURE COMMENTS FOR EXPRESSIONS OF HATE, FAKE NEWS, AND INCITING CYBERCRIME]
We never accept inappropriate accusations against the person in the stolen photos. Some victims simply cannot accept that what they have seen is fake and that they were completely fooled. This individual has been banned from future commenting.
Someone posing as this girl under the name cynthiabennett68 on Instagram contacted me. I was immediately suspicious when they kept asking if I had a wife. Claiming to be from California it was obvious English wasn’t their first language so I reported and blocked their account on Instagram.
