    I was scammed out of a lot of money. Is this money deductable on my Income Taxes?

    Why no answer?

    I am inclined to say "yes".  A couple of things need to happen:  a police report filed and some proof that such act indeed had occurred.  Check with your accountant regarding this matter.  To me, a scam is similar to other losses such as thefts and may be eligible for deductions.
