PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder — A term first coined by online class help expert, Jim O'Hara, that refers to the phenomenon that occurs whenever a student gets scammed online by someone claiming to be a "tutor," and now suddenly believes that ALL online tutors are scammers. Out of fear of being scammed again, students with "PTSD" force genuinely legitimate online tutors to go through completely arbitrary & convoluted nonsense to try to “prove” the tutor's legitimacy. However, because of the student's "PTSD," no matter how much concrete evidence the tutor provides bolstering their legitimacy, the student is still convinced the genuinely legitimate online tutor is just another scammer.
Jeez, this student that texted me got some serious PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder! Apparently, some foreign scammer from the Middle East claimed to be an expert in chemistry and tricked her into paying him upfront. Then he blocked her number and never heard from him again. Because of that, this student is making me jump through hoops to try to prove I'm not another scammer. It is complete BS that she's making me go through this nonsense when she totally didn't make that other guy do so before. But it's pointless, no matter how much proof I give her, her PTSD will still make her think I'm a scammer, so what's even the point of humoring her?
