Being Threatened By Scammers – There Is Nothing To Fear
Many Scam Victims Have Been Subjected To Threats From Scammers
Many are still afraid of these threats!
Just remember that scammers are liars – first, last, and everything in between.
They lie about everything, even when you think they are confessing, it is a lie, designed to weaken you and make you feel sorry for them as they steal their money!
BE JUDGMENTAL
Look at them as what they are – they are Liars. Everything is a con – an attempt to manipulate you. Nothing more.
BELIEVE NOTHING
Scammers don’t want to hurt anyone. Oh, don’t mistake intent with opportunity. They would, and many in fact have killed – they are gangsters and thugs after all, and either run or work in criminal enterprises. If you were in Ghana or Nigeria, they would use violence, real violence. But you are not there.
They simply weigh the risk and reward. There is no reward in actually carrying out their threats.
There is no reward in sending someone to harm victims. And the risk is very high. They don’t have to do anything, the threat is what they use because they can if you let them.
THEY ARE REALLY JUST BULLIES
They only have power over you if you let them have power.
The distances are sufficient that they have no way to harm you, and they have no time because they have to focus on the next victim. Their focus is making money, not on victims that cannot or will not pay them more.
It is important to always contact your local police whenever you get a scammer’s threat because they need to understand the way scammers are working, but as they will tell you – the risk is nothing at all unless you believe them.
All you have to do is laugh at their silly threats and the scammer has no power over you.
Be Fearless!

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
SCARS Institute articles examine different aspects of the scam victim experience, as well as those who may have been secondary victims. This work focuses on understanding victimization through the science of victimology, including common psychological and behavioral responses. The purpose is to help victims and survivors understand why these crimes occurred, reduce shame and self-blame, strengthen recovery programs and victim opportunities, and lower the risk of future victimization.
At times, these discussions may sound uncomfortable, overwhelming, or may be mistaken for blame. They are not. Scam victims are never blamed. Our goal is to explain the mechanisms of deception and the human responses that scammers exploit, and the processes that occur after the scam ends, so victims can better understand what happened to them and why it felt convincing at the time, and what the path looks like going forward.
Articles that address the psychology, neurology, physiology, and other characteristics of scams and the victim experience recognize that all people share cognitive and emotional traits that can be manipulated under the right conditions. These characteristics are not flaws. They are normal human functions that criminals deliberately exploit. Victims typically have little awareness of these mechanisms while a scam is unfolding and a very limited ability to control them. Awareness often comes only after the harm has occurred.
By explaining these processes, these articles help victims make sense of their experiences, understand common post-scam reactions, and identify ways to protect themselves moving forward. This knowledge supports recovery by replacing confusion and self-blame with clarity, context, and self-compassion.
Additional educational material on these topics is available at ScamPsychology.org – ScamsNOW.com and other SCARS Institute websites.

I recently had a scammer but I couldn’t report it on your site because you require an email address which I did not have. He contacted me through Instagram and then through phone so I had a phone number, an instagram account, and pictures. I would love to report him here. Is there anyway to do it without an email address?
Spend a few more moments and look at the types of reports we have available. Not all require an email address.
is there anyway to check if there really scamming. You
Holly, we have been helping people for 27 years, All we need is a few hints to know you are being scammed. There is nothing to be confused about. You are being scammed. You need to stop all communication with the scammer. Block all means of contact NOW! We can’t help you while you are still in contact with your scammer.
When the scammers get your name and keep sending you friend request how can you. Stop them, I’ve deleted over 50 request in a week, I’m sick of them bothering me, they need to be stopped
Change the privacy settings on your profile so that ONLY Friends of Friends can send you new requests. That will block strangers.
I don’t see any difference between these scammers and terrorists. They causes victims to comment suicide and destroy their entire lives including their love ones. Again they are allow to come in our country and continue their terrorist deconstructions. They working in our hospitals where they can do the most harm and go unnoticed. They work in our legal and government system as well in our education system where they can target us even greater. Recently an article was published in the “Roots” claiming that they are smarter then Americans and more educated. With all the money that they are scamming from us and wiring back here to their families ocourse they can pay for the best education. These monsters have stolen our money. It make me mad as hell that America don’t have Ghana and Nigeria on a high terrorists list and not monitoring these people with a careful eye. Has our president stating ” America first”, immigration reform is a most. Put them on that terror list and destroy their weapons that they are using against us in Ghana and Nigeria. ” Americans lives matters first, second and last”.
Scammers do in fact engage in psychological terror to be sure in many cases, but worse, about 25-30% of scam proceeds end up funding African and Middle Eastern Terrorist Groups.
they are good at it as I still get texts from them and I uncovered fake numbers and get real evidence
Report every scammer into our global network either here on our website or on http://www.Anyscam.com
