Scammer Social Media Comments To Lure In Victims

How Scams Work – A SCARS Insight

Scammers Miss You – They Want You Back

They Especially Want More Of Your Money!

Scammers know where to find victims, all they have to do it look on the thousands of anti-scam groups on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and elsewhere. They go where there are victims looking for help and they offer it through carefully crafted messages that look like they come from other victims!

Except they are not from other victims, they are from SCAMMERS!

TWO CARDINAL RULES

  1. Never pay ANYONE to Investigate scammers. This is the job of law enforcement. Regardless of what you believe or have been told by amateurs, reporting to the police, FTC & FBI, or other law enforcement is effective. No “scam investigator,” as far as we know, has ever resulted in an arrest. Also, anyone that claims to be an investigator must have a private investigator’s license or they are committing a crime – you will be able to look up their license on their state, province, or country’s registry.
  2. Never pay ANYONE to recover your money! There are a few real companies that can go after traditional investment, but not if they are crimes. ONLY your local police or national law enforcement can get your money back from a crime. This is true of crypto losses or from other forms of money transfers – ONLY THE POLICE or their associated prosecutor’s office. ANYONE that says they can recover your money from a scam is committing fraud.

However, It Does Not Stop Them From Trying!

Scammers are effective because there are desperate victims willing to do anything to get back their money! But please do not pay attention to these offers, you are just putting yourself back in the scammer’s control again!

There are thousands of variations of these messages or comments and they appear on all social media platforms.

It’s so sad we’ve got tons of scammer out here putting people into trauma every damn day! I truly know how it feels to get scammed not even when I’ve once been a victim of it. When I got scammed a year ago, I was scrolling down the pages of Scammer when I saw a question by an individual explaining how he got scammed, an answer was brought up to contact a agents Jason to help get back the money. I felt it sounded to good to be true and then ignored, few weeks after I saw comments of people testify to there good work and I decided to check them out. Fortunately for me, I recovered all my lost fund and I promised myself to always refer them to victims like me and never will I get scammed again. send a direct message request to Jason using this link. https://instagram.com/jason_jord1
I wish you all the best.

    Não há dúvida que eles são um grupo bem organizado e com ideias bem organizadas para porem em prática muitos dos seus crimes, mas infelizmente, também concluo que sai muita informação do grupo através dos seus membros ou ex-membros.

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

While any self-help techniques outlined herein may be beneficial for scam victims seeking to recover from their experience and move towards recovery, it is important to consult with a qualified mental health professional before initiating any course of action. Each individual’s experience and needs are unique, and what works for one person may not be suitable for another.

Additionally, any approach may not be appropriate for individuals with certain pre-existing mental health conditions or trauma histories. It is advisable to seek guidance from a licensed therapist or counselor who can provide personalized support, guidance, and treatment tailored to your specific needs.

If you are experiencing significant distress or emotional difficulties related to a scam or other traumatic event, please consult your doctor or mental health provider for appropriate care and support.
