Biblical Answer

It is not wrong to feel guilty for being scammed, but it is also not necessarily a measure of whether or not you are truly guilty. Guilt can be a subjective feeling that is not always based on objective reality. In fact, guilt can sometimes be irrational, and a person may feel guilty even if they have done nothing objectively wrong.

However, when we consider the biblical perspective on guilt, we see that it is indeed a legitimate emotion that can be a result of sinning against others or God. When we sin, we should feel guilty and confess our sins to God and others. But guilt can also be a result of other factors, such as feeling responsible for something that is not our fault. For example, if we are a victim of a scam, we may feel guilty for not being more careful or for not doing something to prevent the scam.

Ultimately, the key to dealing with guilt is to approach it with humility and a willingness to confront the truth. If we are feeling guilty, we should examine our actions and attitudes to see if there is any truth to our guilt. If we have indeed sinned, we should confess and seek forgiveness. But if we have not sinned, we should not let guilt feelings consume us. Rather, we should focus on what we can learn from the experience and how we can grow as a result. As the Bible says, "Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed." (James 5:16) By confessing our sins and seeking forgiveness, we can experience healing and growth, and we can learn to deal with guilt in a healthy and constructive way.
