SCARS Announcement: Today Is Election Day

En Español Abajo

Today Is Election Day Here In The United States – Today Is The Day Where We See If The Gains Of The Last Two Years Will Continue!

Today is the day where we see if Facebook’s unlimited actions to get elected new congresspeople and help the party that will support them gets elected.

This election was as much a referendum about the Internet’s future as anything. It was about keeping a unified congress that could enact regulations to hold Facebook and other social media responsible for the harm they have caused.

You are the victim of the Internet Giants just as much as you are of the scammers themselves.

Did You Vote To Enable The Giants And The Scammers To Get Away With It?

Or did you vote for Law & Order?

Sadly, so many voters have little clue about how the real world works. A third of the country votes out of hatred. They care nothing about policies as long as they are against the current administration. They don’t even believe in the democratic model.

Every one of us that have been victimized by cybercriminals has a duty to vote for Law and Order. Yet sadly, only a fraction of you think that is important. Most victims neither think that reporting is important nor think that elections matter.

If the unification continues moving forward more gains will be made against scammers. If it does not, it will be stopped dead in its tracks and the Internet Giants will literally have the blood of scam victims that take their own lives on their hands. Sadly, some of you played a part in that.

Regardless of what happens today, we remain committed to supporting and helping in every way we can. That is our pledge. You can also expect to see a much more politically action SCARS in the next year. We will need your support and we hope we can count on it because some of the advocates that are out there grandstanding are in Facebook’s pocket.

You know where we stand on these issues and we hope that we can count on your support.

Anuncio De SCARS: Hoy Es El Día De Las Elecciones

Hoy es el día de las elecciones aquí en los Estados Unidos, ¡hoy es el día en el que vemos si las ganancias de los últimos dos años continuarán!
Hoy es el día en el que vemos si las acciones ilimitadas de Facebook para ser elegidos como nuevos congresistas y ayudar al partido que los apoyará son elegidos.

Esta elección fue tanto un referéndum sobre el futuro de Internet como cualquier otra cosa. Se trataba de mantener un congreso unificado que pudiera promulgar regulaciones para responsabilizar a Facebook y otras redes sociales del daño que causaron.

Usted es la víctima de los Gigantes de Internet tanto como lo son de los estafadores.

¿Votó Para Permitir Que Los Gigantes Y Los Estafadores Se Escapen Con Esto?

¿O votaste por Ley y Orden?

Lamentablemente, muchos votantes tienen pocas pistas sobre cómo funciona el mundo real. Un tercio del país vota por odio. No les importan las políticas mientras estén en contra de la administración actual. Ni siquiera creen en el modelo democrático.

Todos los que hemos sido víctimas de ciberdelincuentes tenemos el deber de votar por la Ley y el Orden. Sin embargo, lamentablemente, solo una fracción de ustedes piensan que eso es importante. La mayoría de las víctimas ni piensan que informar sea importante ni piensan que las elecciones son importantes.

Si la unificación continúa avanzando, se obtendrán más ganancias contra los estafadores. Si no lo hace, será detenido en seco y los Gigantes de Internet literalmente tendrán la sangre de víctimas de estafa que se llevan la vida en sus manos. Lamentablemente, algunos de ustedes jugaron un papel en eso.

Independientemente de lo que suceda hoy, seguimos comprometidos a apoyar y ayudar en todo lo que podamos. Ese es nuestro compromiso. También puede esperar ver un SCARS de acción mucho más política en el próximo año. Necesitaremos su apoyo y esperamos que podamos contar con él porque algunos de los defensores que están ahí fuera están en el bolsillo de Facebook.

Usted sabe dónde nos encontramos en estos temas y esperamos poder contar con su apoyo.

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
