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.
Too much time had passed for me to recover any funds but I feel better for trying to reverse credit card charges and wire transfers and closing accounts that had been exposed to my scammers. Hopefully it will also help trigger red flags for their next victim.
