Scam Simulator — A scam simulator is an interactive story that lets a person experience a real scam safely from the inside, choosing at each step whether to resist the criminal’s pressure or give in to it. It follows the true path of a specific scam, using the messages, emergencies, and tactics that real criminals use, without announcing warning signs along the way. Every path ends at the discovery of the truth, followed by a Postmortem that names each tactic and shows the moments where the story turned. SCARS Institute scam simulators serve both prevention, by building recognition before a scam begins, and recovery, by helping survivors understand how they were deceived without blame. – Scam Prevention and Education
