New scam victims often face significant challenges in understanding what happened to them. The tactics employed by scammers are often sophisticated, leaving scam victims confused, vulnerable, and grappling with a myriad of emotions. Initially, victims may blame themselves for becoming victims of the scam, experiencing overwhelming guilt and shame. This self-blame can hinder their ability to seek help and begin the recovery process.

However, by receiving the right information and support from organizations like SCARS, victims can eliminate these feelings of blame, guilt, and shame. SCARS provides comprehensive education about various scam forms, manipulation techniques, and the psychological impact of scams. This knowledge empowers victims to recognize that they were targeted by skilled criminals who exploited vulnerabilities, rather than being at fault themselves.

By understanding the complexities of scams and the tactics used by scammers, scam victims can shift their perspective from self-blame to self-compassion. They realize that they are not alone in their experience and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. With the support of SCARS and its resources, including support groups, helping to find trauma counseling, and educational materials, new scam victims can begin their journey of recovery with confidence and clarity. SCARS helps victims navigate the road to recovery by providing a safe space to share experiences, access valuable resources, and rebuild their lives free from blame, guilt, and shame.
