I'll keep a link saved to my homepage for this site. Even though I won't be needing to post anymore scammers since (Hopefully) it won't happen again, I would still like to keep up to date with everything going on in the scam community just to stay safe. Also this way if anything happens to my friends in a similar situation, I'll forward this site to them. You guys are doing an amazing job and I hope you keep it up!

Hi nevergiveup - my scam was 4 years ago, it was hard in the beginning to realize that someone could be so heartless and get you to believe what he was saying - obviously I was a romance scam, but either way, these incredibly horrible people, do not care about the person they are attacking.
Keep up the good work you are doing to recover and evidently you have become a very strong person because of the scam. It takes time but you do recover and understand that at the time you were vulnerable to a creep that played on ones emotions. You have learned a life lesson that most never learn. Stay strong and healthy and never be ashamed of what happened to you, talk to others that you might find to be scared and/or vulnerable to a scam.
I wish you luck and good things only
A scammer is only as good as the fear he creates.

Hi Never Give Up: I was scammed in July 2014 and was ashmed to tell my story for 2 months. I finally joined XXXXXX and XXXXXX. The folks helped me through my healing process. As a result, I have become active in victim support and have helped one person who has been scammed twice.

Connecting with others who have fallen victim has helped me and them.

angelmom,

we really appreciate your support in this matter. Helping others is the right thing to do. But... trying to connect with another victim here and trying to get that victim outside this site is the wrong way to do it.

Any problem or concern must be openly discussed here. If not here, we have a live support area working as a chat room for the ones willing to talk and asking for support. Being your first post here, it is possible you are not aware about this option. Scam related open talks are important. First - because that problem may affect more people in a similar situation. Second - because it is a part of the recovery process.

We do not advise recent victims to start playing online with the scammers under no circumstances. Our way may be different as the way used on other sites, but it is the only honest way: the people using this forum are searching for help and we are here to provide this help. We do not judge for our users and we do not direct our users to do things that may affect them in a wrong way. The main priority here is help and support. For the rest, after the recovery process is ready, each and every former victim is able to decide alone, without being pushed to do anything just because someone is telling them to do it.
Help yourself by helping others - report your scammer here.
Google can be your best friend;use it if you have doubts about someone met online. If someone met online only asks for money, no matter what reason, it´s 100% scam.

hi angelmom..

Thanks for your concern..but i think what firefly said is right..sometimes when dealing with scammer is a high risk..ppl sonetimes doesnt have idea with who he/she chat...it can be dangerous..but i guess maybe u can have a talk with firefly..he know what the best for scammer victims..maybe both of u can work together...
