This Official SCARS Institute™ Website is a Tribute to those Scam Victims Who Lost So Much of Themselves and Some Lost Even Their Lives
Remembering: Renee, Boyati, Diane, Iris, and so many more!
Welcome to the
SCARS Institute’s
Scam Survivor Stories
Read other scam victim/survivor’s stories and see that your experience has much in common with others. It helps you process and validate your experience, reducing feelings of shame and isolation. By learning that you were not the only one to go through this experience, it helps you to understand that it was not your fault and that you are not alone.
Each story has been anonymized to protect the survivor’s identity.
Listen to a new free SCARS Institute Audiobook, ‘Emily’s Story’
This is the story of a romance scam victim and her experience. This story is being shared so that other victims may both understand that they are not alone, but also understand that getting help can save their life. You will understand why as the story unfolds.
This is a fictionalization of a real story. The names have been changed to protect those involved. This is a one hour audiobook to help scam victims to better understand the very real dangers of these crimes.
Story Written by Tim McGuinness, Ph.D., SCARS Institute Managing Director based on a True Story.
