@scamwhisperer: • It’s better to lead with empathy, not judgment. They were emotionally manipulated — not foolish. • Avoid “How could you?” questions. Scammers are trained to build trust and create psychological dependency. • Remind them they’re not alone. Millions of people fall victim every year — across all ages and education levels. • Separate the person from the scam. Being deceived does not define their intelligence or worth. • Encourage action, not shame. Help them report it, secure accounts, and move forward. • Listen more than you speak. Most victims just need someone to hear them without criticism. • Restore dignity. Say: “You were targeted. You deserve support.”
