AnyScam.com has been moved to
The SCARS Institute Encyclopedia of Scams
Twelve Years of Data
For more than twelve years, scam victims and volunteers reported the phone numbers, email addresses, names, and profiles that scammers used against them on AnyScam.com. That work now lives here, as the SCARS Institute AnyScam Database, rebuilt to make it easier to search, safer to use, and open to new reports.
Before you trust someone you met online, search for their phone number, email address, name, or profile link. You’ll see whether it has been reported to SCARS Institute, how often, and when. You can also read real messages that scammers have sent, with victims’ details removed, so you can learn to recognize their words before they reach you.
Help Protect Others
If a scammer contacted you, report their profile link, email address, or phone number. SCARS Institute staff review every report before it appears in the database.
Please keep in mind that a listing is a report, not proof. Scammers steal real people’s names and photos, and phone numbers pass from one owner to the next, so an innocent person can appear here. If something listed here belongs to you and is listed in error, use the removal request form at the bottom of this page, and we’ll review it. And if nothing turns up in your search, that doesn’t mean someone is safe: scammers change their numbers, addresses, and names constantly.

Hello,
This is a Bible based ministry. We don't control people. God doesn't control people either. It seems like you need to be friends with someone for them to want to respond to you.

Hello,
Being saved is about your lifestyle not just saying your saved but according to your heart and what you say and do. The Lord doesn't do atm magic tricks.
When you start to read the word, you will see, that it is not our will but God's be done. You are asking to make someone to do what you want. That is witch craft. Take time to understand the word. Serving Jesus is to serve others and not your needs, wants and flesh.
By the way, we do have a weekly Zoom call on Friday's at 6.00am Eastern U.S. We pray for you and your family during the Zoom call, and teach from the Word of God. Click here for the Zoom call information and how to work out what time that is in your timezone.

This is yet another one where you lied. Clearly these people are showing that you are scamming. You dont have an address in Rosthern do you? Hence why you won't meet Paul because you are not there.
See this is why i reach out to the people. Knowing that I could be feeding a person that is not real and is scamming me for funds. Your trying to use people as a money Mole. This is why i protect myself and communicate with others.
Now it would be nice to know where you are actually located. No wonder you say you dont have a bank account, your not in Canada. No cell phone. Not in Canada. Cant do this and cant do that bs.
I told you before, if you try this money mole shit on me again, that will be it.
