Our Deepest Condolences
On behalf of the Society of Citizens Against Relationship Scams we offer our most sincere condolences to the families of those that have lost been injured or their lives to criminals in the last few days.
We understand the pain of loss that comes at the hands of crime. It is in moments like these when it is vitally important to remember who was really at fault, the criminal that made the decision to destroy so many families and communities.
These tragedies have touched all of our lives as Americans. While some may seek to aggrandize themselves, it is important to remember that fighting evil is not political, nor it is hate, it is the commitment that we all make to not let it rule our lives.
We wish for those that live lives of hate and anger and give shelter to evil through jealousy and resentment will learn the lesson that hate is never the answer. Hate cannot and will not cause us to back away from our commitment to root out evil and crime wherever it is.
We are Americans and we support victims of crime wherever they may be!
Sincerely
Dr. Tim McGuinness
Chief Executive & Chairman

Don’t forget to mention the collateral damage caused by romance scams. I lost money, my family, friends, my family took me to court to try to have me removed from controlling my own money.
the list goes on and on. Don’t expect those that you confide in to understand. They won’t. The only people who undeerstand are those who have been scammed themselves. Be careful who you confide in.
Susan, you are absolutely correct on many levels. However, the trauma you feel is just that – meaning it is serious, but trauma can be helped by professionals that understand it. Trauma tends to keep you as isolated as the scammers tried to do, but you have to fight those impulses and reach out to those who can help you. Why not join our community of victims who do understand here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SCARS.Avoidance.Information.Public.Group/
However, what you get out of telling other people also depends on your own expectations. Do not expect other people to understand, but that does not mean that they cannot help you. We are a professional registered crime victims’ assistance organization. We are here to help!
