About This Assessment
This self-assessment is designed to help you reflect on your feelings and thoughts after experiencing a scam. It is not a diagnostic tool, but it can provide meaningful insights into whether you may be experiencing self-hate and how it might be affecting your wellbeing and recovery.
For each statement, indicate how strongly you agree or disagree. Be as honest as you can — your results are private and seen only by you.
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.
Why we ask this
Lessons I learned helped me understand that I am not to blame nor hate myself because of the scam, it wasn’t my fault and not alone. I learned a lot of insights and lessons from SCARS that the heavy weight of shame and guilt I carried before has been lifted up, and now I feel free and fully understand why and how that crime happened to me 2 years ago.
We are so glad we could help you
I feel the same way. 10 months after my scam for me good luck to you with your continued recovery!
