After the Scam: Healing, Help, and Taking Back Control

Saison 5 · Épisode 2

jeudi 23 avril 2026 • Durée 33:53

What happens after a scam goes beyond financial loss. It often leaves people dealing with emotions they are not prepared to face or talk about. In this episode, Dr. Thyonne Gordon speaks with Randi Izdonavicius, Program Manager for AARP’s Fraud Watch Network Victim Support, about the real impact scams have on victims.

Randi shares what she hears from callers, from shock and embarrassment to anger and hesitation to speak up. Many people keep their experience to themselves, which only adds to the weight. The conversation also explores how scammers use tactics like urgency, authority, and secrecy to gain trust and keep control.

They walk through what to do in the immediate aftermath, including ending contact, protecting financial accounts, and reporting the incident. Randi outlines the actions that can help limit further damage and create a path forward.

Whether you have gone through a scam or want to be ready if it happens, this episode offers practical steps and a clearer way to move ahead.
