Feeling Ashamed After Being Scammed? Watch This

*What do you do when trust is broken and shame rushes in? When you’ve been fooled, not just out of money—but out of your sense of safety?* In this raw and honest conversation, Tamara from Learn Online Security sits down with Life Coach Deb Andrew of Altruistic Coach to discuss the quiet aftermath of being scammed—the part no one talks about. The loneliness. The self-blame. The fear of telling anyone.

In this powerful episode, we explore why so many people feel isolated after falling for a scam—and why that silence can be more damaging than the scam itself. Deb shares how emotional resilience, honest self-talk, and intentional community support can help victims move from shame to strength. Whether it happened to you or someone you love, this conversation reminds us: *you are not alone, and healing is possible.*

*Learn How:*
✅ Scammers exploit emotional vulnerability, not intelligence
✅ Mental resilience can be built through repetition and truth-telling
✅ Negative self-talk reinforces shame—and how to replace it
✅ Human connection is key to recovery after a scam
✅ Anyone can be duped—age or smarts don’t protect you
✅ Open conversations reduce stigma and build support networks
