Anyone who put money into an obvious scam isn't a victim.

My dad just sent the money form his account on his bank after some scammer called him (saying that he was a bank officer) and convinced him that his bank account was hacked, and he needed to move his money to another account in a different bank. Needless to say, it was all a scam.

Hearing and reading it looks pretty obvious... I do think he is a victim.
