This week, Vicki and Patti focus on the Scam Victims. We need to realize that people who have been scammed are "VICTIMS." All too often, American society treats Scam Victims as Idiots, Old Fools, Airheads, and Morons. The facts are that Scammers are generally highly skilled, trained and well experience professional thieves that prey upon honest, innocent victims. Too many Americans will blame and criticize the poor Victim for being scammed. They will say things like, "How could you ever be so stupid to fall for a scam like that," or "You Idiot, you moron, how could you believe and be taken in by a scammer." or boast, "I'd never ever fall for an obvious scam like that. Victims need to be treated like Victims and not be lectured to by critical family members and friends.
