Real advice from a lawyer who helps victims get their money back.
Most people think that once money disappears into the black hole of a scam, that’s it—game over. The fraudster wins, you lose, and the best you can do is mutter about “lessons learned” while eating ramen for the rest of the month.
But here’s the truth: if you’ve been scammed, you may still have legal rights—and even a chance to get your money back.
And this isn’t coming from some faceless government PSA telling you to “stay vigilant” (as if you weren’t already trying). This comes straight from a real live lawyer who represents scam victims every single day—Lauren Veggian, Esq., consumer attorney and member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA).
Lauren recently recorded a short video that pulls back the curtain on what really happens after a scam and how ordinary people (yes, even you) can fight back. It’s practical, it’s empowering, and honestly, it’s the kind of info you wish you’d heard before you clicked that “urgent” text message from “your bank.”

Why You Should Watch This Video Right Now
The internet is stuffed with warnings: “Don’t click suspicious links!” … “Hang up on robocalls!” … “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”
That’s all fine and good—but what if you already did click? What if you already answered? What if you already wired the money?
That’s where Lauren comes in. In the video, she explains not just prevention, but what you can do after you’ve been scammed. Spoiler: it’s not too late.
Here are two of the big takeaways she shares:
1. Your Bank Might Owe You Money Back
Yep. Turns out banks aren’t always allowed to shrug and say, “Tough luck.” If someone hacked your account or tricked you into a fraudulent transfer, you may have the right to be reimbursed. But—and here’s the kicker—you have to follow some specific steps. Lauren explains exactly what to do and how to build a strong case.
2. Documentation Is Your Superpower
Think of yourself as a detective in your own crime drama. Call logs, bank statements, even that angry text you fired off to your cousin about the scam—keep it all. The more you document, the more power you give your case. Lauren lays out which papers, screenshots, and notes can make or break your claim.
And That’s Just the Beginning…
Those are only two of the insights. In the video, Lauren also reveals:
-
The one government agency scam victims almost always forget to contact.
-
Why your personal story (and even your stress levels) can play a role in winning damages.
-
A surprising type of “witness” that could help prove your case in court.
If you’ve ever felt hopeless after losing money to a scam, you need to hear this.
Why We Love This Video (and Think You Will Too)
It’s refreshing. Lauren doesn’t scold or shame people for being duped. She gets it—these scams are sophisticated, and they can happen to anyone.
It’s practical. You won’t hear vague platitudes. You’ll get real, step-by-step actions that could change the outcome of your case.
It’s hopeful. Instead of resigning yourself to loss, you’ll walk away thinking: “Wait, maybe I can do something about this.”
Don’t Miss Out
The scammers are betting on your silence and despair. Don’t give them that satisfaction. Take 10 minutes, watch Lauren’s video, and see how you can flip the script.

And if something in the video hits home—if you realize this is exactly what happened to me—don’t just shrug it off. Reach out. Lawyers like Lauren and others in NACA spend their days fighting for people just like you.
You’re not alone, and you’re probably not out of luck either!
