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.

My love, because of the war here in Somalia it is not possible to move the amount of money out by bank transfer because the banks here do not work since the crisis started. Hence, the only option is to send the money to you by diplomatic delivery company security for you to receive in your country since its much more secured and fast.
I want to move this money by FedEx | Express Delivery, Courier & Shipping Services to your country so that you can save and keep the money for our investment in future and buying of house until I meet you there in your country once my mission finished soon.
Then, with regards to what I want to tell you, actually I have about $ 1.5 Million Dollars here in a security company, which is about 47 million in your country currency. This money is my savings here in Somalia Now that you are very close to me as my wife to be and you are the only one i can trust and to share this secret with
Darling, the war here in Somalia is getting very serious. we had a bomb blast and we lost some of my colleague here in the camp

Babe i will firstly tell you everything about my work here we soldiers doesn't have access to our Account unless we're done with our mission or out of the camp reason is that many families reported to the Chief General about their spouse spending lavishly not for their family but on some prostitutes and because they were in money then they'd turned their self to something else Like me as a staff sergeant, I'd collect 26,000.00$ USD for my salary plus my wardrobe and training allowance so that makes all 39,500.00$ USD and all been direct to my bank account in state....
