Have you been scammed? You may be entitled to financial compensation.

CultureHub hosted a live auction of the Scam Collection of Blair Simmons & Lindsay Gilbert. The Scam Collection celebrates works of recent and contemporary scams and those on the receiving end of said scams, and pays homage to these scam remnants. The unmistakable tension between scammer and scammed, chaos and order, is palpable in every piece. From mundane robo calls and phishing emails to absurd heartbreak stories, this is a collection of celebrated failures. You can see the Scam Collection Catalogue here.

1-800-I-WAS-SCAMMED.COM was presented as a part of Experiments in Digital Storytelling.
