Romance Scam Awareness Month was a great success and we want to send a huge thank you to the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, Craig Newmark Philanthropies and Match Group for supporting our mission to guide romance scam victims toward hope and healing. This journey map simplifies the complicated, messy, and difficult path victims face—from awareness to recovery or, sadly, revictimization. Without these program sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to provide the support victims need to move forward. #FightCybercrime #RomanceScams #ThankYouSponsors #VictimAdvocacy #ScamAwareness

Are we just not allowed to have nice things?! Scammers will find a way to exploit everything! Case in point … one of my favorite nonprofits, FightCybercrime. Fraudsters are posting fake success stories, pretending they got help from FightCybercrime ... only to <SHOCKER> drop a WhatsApp number to scam more victims. Just so we’re clear … this is?a scam! I’ve received this message on a few of my posts. I immediately?blocked and reported?it and let FightCybercrime know. They’re aware and actively addressing the issue. Stay vigilant! If something feels off,?don’t engage, report it!

As we wind down Romance Scam Awareness Month, it's important to take note that these scams don't just happen to the older people in our communities. Cybercriminals are targeting our younger generations and the consequences can be devastating.
I was relentlessly bullied through most of elementary school, so the idea of cyber bullying is a nightmare. Bullies want to make you small and think poorly of yourself; the only place where I could escape that was outside of school. I was so good at it that a childhood friend told me that she had no idea I was bullied at school, because I was her role model for self confidence at the time I battled it daily. I gained that confidence at theater and other activities, well away from the bullying at school. If I couldn’t have escaped, if my bullies could have followed me online, I certainly would have been vulnerable to online scams, and predators. Honestly, I was very loved at home and had involved parents, but would I really have been immune to falling for a romantic scam? I do know that if my parents had tried to tell me it was not real, or I was being scammed, I would have shut them out immediately. What is Sextortion, or Romantic Scams? How do Groomers Build Trust? When Does it Turn Dangerous? Clues that your Child Might be at Risk of Grooming Dialogue: Preparing Your Child Against Grooming What is Sextortion, or Romantic Scams? I tell you all of this to explain why this can happen to anyone. Every day in parenting groups, someone is shocked to find how their child hid a relationship from them, or how far an online relationship has progressed. We explained grooming more in our coverage of?Colleen Bailinger, but the advocacy group?Darkness to Light: End Child Sexual Abuse?explains it as such: Grooming allows offenders to slowly overcome natural boundaries long before sexual abuse occurs. On the surface, grooming a child can look like a close relationship between the offending adult, the targeted child and (potentially) the child’s caregivers. The grooming process is often misleading because the offender may be well-known or highly regarded in the community. As a result, it’s easy to trust them. Often, the grooming happens over a long period of time, until they gain the child’s trust, and either request inappropriate photos or to meet in person. I spoke with Jennifer Lawrence, DSW, LICSW, of the advocacy group FightCybercrime to get her perspective: ”How that process typically begins, it’s really people identifying a vulnerable target. And I say vulnerable- we can all be vulnerable, right? Nobody is immune to this type of predatory behavior. the important thing is for people to be able to have the education and to be able to understand what it looks like, Lawrence told us in a recorded interview.

Friends and family play a crucial role in helping victims heal. Licensed professional counselor Cathy Wilson, LPC, ACS talks about how educating yourself and offering support—especially when the victim is hesitant to let go of the relationship—can make all the difference. It’s all about compassion, understanding and guidance.
