In fact, according to their 2023 Scam Risk Report, the Better Business Bureau reports that for people aged 18 – 44, stress and anxiety is the number one emotional impact of being targeted by a scammer. For people over 45, the number one emotional impact is anger.

Each time a scam is reported, we learn how much money is lost by the victim. Money is the prevalent consequence most of us consider. But being victimized by a deceit goes far beyond the money lost.

Scam victims experience a range of emotional impacts from being deceived. Anxiety, loss of trust in others, loss of trust in yourself and depression are some of the effects of being misled into a scam. A Better Business Bureau study found a Romance Scam victim support group that reported every single victim using their service had contemplated suicide after realizing they were scammed.

Most current scam training basically shows how a certain scam is executed and advising people with statements such as ‘do not send money to someone you have never met.’ Current scam statistics prove that this strategy just isn’t working.
