Romance Scam Part 10

There has been an argument on the AntiScam forums and groups as what to call Scammers. This goes to the ideal that we are trying to distance ourselves from these pathological criminals that have tried to emotionally entrap us in their schemes to steal our money. Each of us has a need to be able to identify the scammer in some way that does not bring back the emotions of love and empathy for the perpetrator of the scam.

Many terms have been used such as Criminal, It, NARP (Not A Real Person), Scammer, liar, f**ken Thief, Scumbag, fungus, leaches, sharks, snakes, boils, necrotizing facilitis (flesh eating disease), vampires, ghouls, and maggots and the list goes on and on. Each of us has to realize is that “Scammers” are Sophisticated Pathological Criminals who planned to entrap us with the promise and vision of love and happiness and are not real except in our minds or dreams. Keeping the name or Identity that we know the scammer by only reinforces that dream and continues to do emotional harm. So what do we call the scammer to help us place them in prospective? It does not really matter, as long as the name or acronym works for you. You are the one that has to break the emotional connection with the scammers and the dream that they created in your mind, thus divorcing yourself from the emotions of the false name that was used by the scammer.

We need to dehumanize these scammers in order to start our emotional recovery. We need to be able to talk about them without the emotions brought forth by their name they used breaking through and garnering our empathy. Always remember that the scammers working you was a group of Sophisticated Pathological Criminals (a gang of black African Men and Boys) and who entrapped you with the promise and vision of love and happiness, not caring for your dreams of happiness, but only for your money. So you can identify and call the scammer anything you want that helps you break the emotional bonds they placed on you.

This technic has been used for many years by military establishments to dehumanize the enemy with terms such Hun, Gook, rebel, chink, to name a few. In this war and yes, we are in a war against criminals and terrorist for our money and emotions, you can call these criminals: Pathological criminals, Scumbag, F**ken Liar, snake, shark, bastard, Blankity Blank, It, NARP, @#$ %^&, or any other name that works for you and helps you put the scammers back into prospective.

It is your emotional healing we are talking about and each of us must find a path way that works for us and helps affect our recovery. Remember Scammer by any Name is still A Sophisticated Pathological Criminal and does not deserve our empathy or caring as they planned to steal from you and never cared about your emotions except as a means to get you under their control so they could complete their scheme.
