# SCARS Webinar: Romance Scams Life Cycle – May 14, 2022

# Romance Scams Life Cycle

## SCARS Webinar

### May 14, 2022

## 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?

- 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)
