Scam Survivor Stories

People who have been victimized by scams share their experiences to help others heal and be more aware of how the scammers operate.

Do You Have a Story to Share?

Survivor Stories are an opportunity for you to tell your story. Your experience can help the Operation Shamrock team and the organizations we work with learn more so that everyone does a better job moving forward. Some of these stories appear in the posts on this page.

What Operation Shamrock Survivor Stories can promise:

  • We will not share your name or any personal information without your consent.

  • We will listen to you without judgment and ensure that your voice is heard.

  • We will use the information you provide to help our partners improve their practices.

  • We will assist you wherever we can, including connecting you to support resources and contacts.

What Operation Shamrock Survivor Stories cannot promise:

  • We cannot promise that you will recover your money.

  • We cannot promise that the perpetrator will be caught or prosecuted.

One final thing we can promise is this: You are not alone! There are people here who genuinely want to help.
