SCARS ANNOUNCEMENT

The Society of Citizens Against Romance ScamsScams A Scam is a confidence trick - a crime -  is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust through deception. Scams or confidence tricks exploit victims using their credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, irresponsibility, or greed and exploiting that. Researchers have defined confidence tricks as "a distinctive species of fraudulent conduct ... intending to further voluntary exchanges that are not mutually beneficial", as they "benefit con operators ('con men' - criminals) at the expense of their victims (the 'marks')". A scam is a crime even if no money was lost. [SCARS] is once again traveling to China this weekend.

The purpose of the visit will be to establish the SCARS Offices in the province of Guangdong, from which SCARS will develop victims’ education and assistance programs for Chinese Victims of Romance and related online crimes. SCARS’ initial involvement and coordination with Chinese police and regional governments have yielded a new focus on Chinese domestic cybercriminals, that led to the recent decision by their central government to raise the maximum penalty for scams to the death penalty.
