These scams are typically about some form of emergency or urgent situation where the victim has to send money immediately to avoid serious consequences. Hosted by SCARS Directors: Debby Montgomery Johnson & Tim McGuinness, Ph.D., DFin, MCPO, MAnth Contact us if you are a victim of these crimes and are interested in our recovery program and support groups. ## Report The Crime You are the victim of organized transnational criminals! Take this seriously. The reason scams are so out of control is that only about 1% of victims report these crimes! ### Every report matters! - Police may not chase after the scammers but the reports help the government to extradite them! - Reporting also restores your power and control! - It helps you accept that you are the victim and not to blame! ### Where To Report? - Get prepared first: [https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/a-scam-victims-checklist-interacting-with-the-police/](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/a-scam-victims-checklist-interacting-with-the-police/) - Report to your local police and get a report number! - Report to your financial institutions and give them the report number! - Report to your national police or the FBI at [www.IC3.gov](http://www.IC3.gov) - Report to the U.S. FTC at [https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?orgcode=SCARS](https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?orgcode=SCARS) - Report to the SCARS global network at [www.Anyscams.com](http://www.Anyscams.com) - Keep the evidence – you may need it later! ## To learn more about the topics covered in this webinar visit: - **[How To Explain It To Others](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/how-can-you-explain-what-happened-to-family-and-friends/)** - [Reporting Scammers – How To Tell Your Story To Your Local Police!](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/reporting-scammers-how-to-tell-your-story-to-your-local-police/) - [3 Steps For New Victims](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/scars-3-steps-for-new-scam-victims/) - [A Scam Victim’s Checklist](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/a-scam-victims-checklist-interacting-with-the-police/) - [Understanding Law Enforcement](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/understanding-law-enforcement/) - [How Do You Get Closure?](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/how-do-you-get-closure-scarsrsn-psychology-of-scams/) - [Why Reporting Matters?](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/rsn-guide-why-reporting-matters/) - [Reporting To The Local Police](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/scarsrsn-scam-basics-reporting-to-the-local-police/) - [Reporting Romance Scams: Why Survivors Often Don’t](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/reporting-romance-scams-why-survivors-often-dont/) - [2022 Scam Update – A Podcast With Dr. Tim McGuinness And Debby Montgomery Johnson](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/2022-scam-update-a-podcast-with-dr-tim-mcguinness-and-debby-montgomery-johnson/) - [Psychology of Scams & Victim Trauma](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/psychology-of-scams-article-catalog-2/) – Article Catalog - [Recovering from Scams](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/recovery-from-scams-article-catalog/) – Article Catalog - [Information For Family & Friends](https://romancescamsnow.com/dating-scams/for-family-friends-article-catalog/) – Article Catalog To learn more about who SCARS is visit [www.AgainstScams.org](http://www.AgainstScams.org) To find a local counselor or therapist visit either: [www.opencounseling.com](http://www.opencounseling.com) and [www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/trauma-and-ptsd](http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/trauma-and-ptsd) If you are looking for a support group please contact us at: [www.facebook.com/groups/SCARS.Avoidance.Information.Public.Group](http://www.facebook.com/groups/SCARS.Avoidance.Information.Public.Group)
