Hello, Survivor.
I’m glad you are here. Scams and financial fraud are awful to experience, and for many people it is devastating. You’ve gotten yourself here, though, and that means you are a survivor. I hope you find healing through one or more of the resources I have created or collected here for you.
Free for survivors/fraud victims: This website has information for you (Resources page ), and you can click the following link to my YouTube channel with a lot of help, information, and how to get over being scammed. I hope you are able to explore all the videos on the channel because there are many there including a couple of playlists.
I previously facilitated a support group, and for now there is a waitlist in case I am able to start this group up again. Please contact CyberSupport Network or AARP Fraud Support Network, they both have excellent support groups. Please contact me if you have questions about another support group you have found.
My Book: I wrote a book to help you through this, which you can find on Amazon: The Emotional Impact of Being Scammed and How to Recover.
Resources for Others – If you are someone wanting to know how to support a victim of a scam/fraud, please check out the courses below. I created these myself, a mental health professional who has worked with scam/fraud victims for over a decade.

Am I a Real Person?
You might be wondering if I’m a scammer. Your ability to trust others is damaged and this is completely understandable with what you’ve just been through! I created a page with ways to check me out to feel sure that I’m for real. Check to be sure I’m not a scammer
Another area of support I am working on is a nonprofit organization I recently founded and recently obtained 501c3 status from the IRS. Our main purpose is to make mental health resources more accessible to fraud victims. Right now it is extremely difficult to find a counselor to work with who has experience with this and it’s also difficult to find support groups. We want to change this! You can find information about this at the link below:
