What this book is

The second volume of The Modern Scam Survival Guide, written for people who have already been scammed and for those helping them. It starts with the first sixty minutes and the first twenty-four hours, then explains why the way you paid decides your chances, and how to work with and escalate against your bank. It covers crypto and romance losses, recovering hacked accounts and phone numbers, repairing identity theft, and cleaning compromised devices. It warns about the recovery scams that target victims, covers tax and insurance loose ends, and deals with the shame that follows a scam. It gives reporting and dispute routes for the US, UK, India, and the UAE, including recent rule changes.

What you get

  • 102-page designed PDF, readable on phone, tablet, and print
  • 12 chapters across four parts, from the first hour to long-term recovery
  • A first-hour card, a recovery log template, and word-for-word scripts for banks
  • Recovery plans for the twelve most common scam types
  • Reporting directories for the US, UK, India, and the UAE
  • Glossary, plus research notes with official, dated sources

How it is written

Educational only, not legal, financial, tax, or mental-health advice, and it cannot guarantee that any money is recovered. Rules and reporting channels differ by country and change often, so confirm them with official sources. Never pay anyone who offers to recover your money. If you feel unsafe, contact a crisis line.
