#### We never see your identity

Your responses are processed in your browser and your email. Only you see any identifying information about you.

#### De-identified data supports research

With your permission and your identity removed, your de-identified answers are sent to the SCARS Institute for scientific research only. Data is never shared with third parties.

The SCARS Institute provides this tool to help you understand whether shame is affecting your recovery after a scam, and to decide whether extra support would help. You can save it to share the results with your therapist or mental health professional.

I give my consent for my fully de-identified assessment data to be used for research purposes only. I understand that all personal identifiers have been removed from my responses, this information will not be shared with any third parties, and my participation is completely voluntary.

## About This Assessment

This self-assessment is designed to help you determine whether you are experiencing significant shame as a result of being scammed, and to what degree those feelings may be affecting your self-esteem, your relationships, and your recovery.

Read each statement carefully and select the response that best reflects your honest feelings and behaviors. Be as truthful as you can — your results are private and seen only by you.

1 — Strongly Disagree

2 — Disagree

3 — Neutral

4 — Agree

5 — Strongly Agree

**Please Note.** This assessment was developed by the scientists and psychologists at the SCARS Institute based on experience working with large numbers of scam victims. It is not a diagnosis of a mental health condition — it is designed to give you awareness and a useful starting point for conversation with a professional. We recommend taking a copy of your results to share with your counselor or therapist.
