SCARS has provided information that I wish I had access to before my scammer was able to pull me in. SCARS has given support that helps with the healing process and is an organization that every person on social media should know about. Scars can save others from emotional and financial scams but then can offer support and help for those who have already gone through it.
I think the information provided here are plenty and useful, trustworthy. I really appreciate the information about criminology and victim psychology. These help me understanding what is happening with victims and how we can help.
Me siento muy segura en SCARS aquí la información es clara y el trabajo siempre en beneficio de las víctimas sé que es un lugar seguro.
SCARS literally saved my life! They were there for me after my scam when I did not know who else to turn to who would understand. SCARS had provided me valuable support & education that continues to help me in my recovery.
Thanks to SCARS I was able to see that I was being scammed by someone I thought was my love. They helped me see that the initial thoughts I had of him being a scammer were correct and showed me how to escape his clutch on me. The knowledge I now have is so valuable and I hope to be able to help others facing this horrible ordeal. SCARS really is a safe haven for […]

I reached out to The Society of Citizens Against Relationship Scams (SCARS) after my relationship fraud story went public…national television public. The support group and the leadership team were there for me right away and guided me through the recovery process with the most thorough educational information/studies/first hand accounts I’ve ever seen. There are thousands of cybersecurity companies around the world, but SCARS is the ONLY victim-centric organization for me.
Awe thanks! Been educating friends and family about being safe rather online or offline. Thanks to y’all educating us all on scams. God bless y’all for doing what y’all do!
Thanks! I have learned so much from this group. The education has given me so many tools to stay safe. My recovery is going well I have put this behind me as much as possible! But the amazing thing is now I realize only a fleeting thought is ok! The memory holds to ensure that I am always alert. Again thanks so much for being here for us!
Well I want to thank Dr. McGuinness, Iris Münzel Chris Fromai and all those people who supported me when I need it most and I felt so lost, without your support it would not have been possible that today after three years I feel totally recovered and free of the scam and all the emotional burden I lived … once again thank you SCARS for everything you do for me and for all the victims of scam […]
Good morning I would like to say thank you scars teams. I just report fake profile at Anyscam.com it gone right away.
This article was helpful for me, I’m a victim of a romance scam and I know a lot but with this article I learn more How to handle my feelings and my anger, Thank you
It helped me because I Came Upon a gentleman using major general’s identity
Think I have found a photo of someone who I chat to who says he is in the army, he plays “words with friends” which is a word game, his name on the game is Daniel E
Great article regarding Google Hangouts and Scammers using this app online to steal/con legit users. I believe if a few examples of a few brief scams used by the twisted liars would help hit home.
Am also a victim an in recovery, any information that’ll help others is great
I saw a girl who had contacted me on Plenty of fish some time ago. She asked me for money to upgrade her phone so we could talk. I didn’t give her any as I rightly guessed she was trying to work me.
She found me on a dating sight. Chatted a while then went to sending me pictures of herself, nudes and topless poses. She tried video chat once but it kept breaking up. Then she started asking for money for food. He sick grandma and neighborhood kids was starving.
I have been scammed more than once…too naive, I suppose!
Many of the phrases are exactly what I’ve heard. I just hope others listen/read very carefully to what is being said. If they do that, they’ll be able to tell or at least begin to suspect that they’re being scammed. Those are not texting errors.
Some information was obvious though the point was effective.
Thinking I may need local therapy so this was timely for me. Help finding the right therapist.
Excellent article I was a victim can relate to this! Thank you
Very informative and helpful for some being scammed!
Easy to use and good to be able to warn others not to be drawn in.

“The BEST Romance Scam Survivor Support Group online” No one knows how a scam victim/survivor really feels except for a fellow survivor. SCARS (Romancescamsnow.com) has the most comprehensive, educational support information available to family, friends and survivors and is my “go to” place when victims reach out to me. Highly recommend to anyone looking to know more about the HOW, WHERE, WHAT, and WHY of online romance scams and survival afterwards.
This is the only group that really understand victims. Every other group I have seen is either full of haters and mentally ill people or they are full of scammers. Great job guys you have my seal of approval.
Never ceases to amaze me how fast some people give their hard earned money away to people they have never met. It is the same with crowdfunding, I do not understand it.
I talked to a scammer once. He sent 4 pictures of 3 different men. On day 3, he already loved me. His phone number didn’t quite match the city he was in. We talked once. He had a very strong accent, and the phone line had a lot of static. He had a business trip where he had a meeting with clients — even though it was a holiday. Then he flew to Nigeria where […]
The desperation to be loved and wanted and needed makes so many men and women fall for these scams. It is this desperation which causes intelligence, foresight, and instinct, to be taken over by a need to please, and in turn, the need to retain the object of their affection.
Thanks for all the great & informative information! I didn’t know about real life scams…but now I know..thanks to you guys…and I told my sisters about this since they are still in the dating world! I have learned about the tricks and friend requests that these yahoo boys and Africans use..however it pays to continue learning..you can never know enough since these guys are sophisticated and use all types of messages to try and hook you […]
