Some Scams Go In Different Directions

Here is an Example of a Romance Scams but based around “Her” Business

This Romance Scammer Is:

Linda Elloy (a.k.a. Linda KKL)
lindaelloy@yahoo.com
Birthdate: January 30 1977 (37 years old)  [on other sites she says it is 12-Apr-1977]
2854 STIRLING ROAD , STE O, Hollywood, FL 33020  (actually a Nigerian in the U.K.)
Phone: 1 (305) 330-2905

Says she is in Malaysia for the death of her mother! And she only needs a couple of thousand to buy a plane ticket!

What makes this different is the level of background story development and creation of supporting online websites and profiles (see below).

The Scammer’s Written Description Information

On Dating Websites & Social Media:

I am a true romantic and believe that there is such a thing as a soul mate, but they are not easily found… out of millions of people those 2 souls must meet by chance and circumstance. I believe that you should consider your soul mate, your best friend and be able to talk about any and everything, not feel strange if there is silence between you. I feel true love and connection doesn’t require constant talking, as a glance or longing stare says every thing and more than words could ever convey. I believe in holding hands, and public displays of affection, as I would want everyone to know that the person who I am with is truly special to me. I believe that being able to be your true self with someone with out judgment is one of the best things in life.

I love cooking, going to the beach, Although i haven’t gone to the beach in a long time now.. stay home listening to a country or romantic song, I enjoy love storys

I’m really looking for Someone Honest, Caring, Romantic, Kind, possesses Great Sense of Humor, Loyal, gentle, cheerful, Has the fear of God in hear life, responsible,someone that still believes in true love, Affectionate, Passionate, Understanding, Intelligent, Respectful and Trust Worthy

Of course, we see the usual scammer grammar.

I just don’t understand all this from you, My store is there and I always get message from them so who is telling you that they don’t no me, Please stop all this because i asked you for help you started saying all this, That is my number and no one else is for it ok. I don’t drive so where to get driver’s  licence ? Do you want to fake it or what you talking about? Is this just because I asked you for help? if that then you can hold your money

Haha I am laughing at you, The Florida that I have been for some years back now you saying I don’t have business there …You are a liar and this let me know that you just not the man that I want in my life..

It makes it clear that not all scammers are alike. Some work on long-cons, while others go for a quick payoff

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
