AnyScam™ Scam Search & Reporting

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.

We really understand that you are doing your best to make sure that this is been sorted out and I think that’s the best thing you should do since that is what the Board has said that you should do!!!

The Board said that they have spent the total sum $825,000 if they add the Last $75,000 that was being taken care of by the Board that’s why they are not ready to do anything else until this consignment is delivered to the company and the remaining part of your money will be credited to the new account that you are going to send because Robert made mention that you are going to change it.

You may not understand that we are helping with that too because you don’t see it as a necessary thing that the moment this is done that our company will be taking from there until it gets to the states.
