Psychological Fallout Deepens as Victims of Adrian Campbell Alleged Scam Confront Reality
The financial damage is only part of the story.
Now, the psychological aftermath is beginning to surface.
LUX Property Group has confirmed it is offering referrals to mental health professionals after dozens of individuals affected by the alleged Kinnara-linked property scheme begin to come to terms with what they say is a prolonged pattern of deception.
For many, the realisation has been brutal.
Individuals who for months — and in some cases over a year — defended and trusted Adrian Campbell are now confronting the possibility that the very person they believed in was misleading them the entire time.
The result is not just financial loss.
It is shock.
It is disbelief.
And for some, it is a complete emotional collapse of trust.

A Year of Trust — Turned Against Them
Sources close to the situation say some victims remained loyal for extended periods, in certain cases more than 12 months, even as concerns began to emerge.
More concerning, several individuals allegedly reinvested into additional projects, including Saraya, effectively placing more money into the hands of the same operator they now claim deceived them.
This pattern is consistent with what psychologists describe as:
Stockholm syndrome
A condition where individuals continue to support or defend a person despite mounting evidence of harm.
Except here, the consequences have been both financial and deeply personal.

When the Realisation Hits
The turning point is often sudden.
After months — or more than a year — of belief and defence, the shift to recognising alleged deception can be overwhelming.
Victims are now dealing with:
•Anxiety and stress
•Emotional trauma
•Guilt and self-blame
•Anger and confusion
•The lingering question: “How did this go on for so long?”
For many, the duration itself makes the impact worse.
Because the longer the trust, the deeper the shock.

Support Now Being Offered
LUX Property Group says it is stepping in to support affected individuals beyond just financial considerations.
Referrals to counselling and mental health practitioners are now being made available to those struggling with the aftermath.
“Coming to terms with deception over such a prolonged period can be psychologically overwhelming. People should not feel ashamed to seek help,” a spokesperson said.

Breaking the Cycle
There is concern that some individuals may still be struggling to disengage after extended exposure.
When belief systems are reinforced over long periods — particularly over a year or more — it can be difficult to separate from them, even when new information emerges.
That is why affected individuals are being encouraged to:
•Take a step back from ongoing influence
•Seek independent, professional advice
•Speak openly with qualified counsellors
•Focus on recovery and clarity

The Real Cost
As more cases emerge, one reality is becoming clear:
This is not just about money.
It is about the psychological toll of long-term trust being broken.
And for many, after a year or more of belief, that is the hardest loss to process.
