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.

How are you?
I hope you are doing great.
I know we have been communicating but have not really got the chance to get to know each other well, so I decided to write and tell you more about myself because I want us to know each other more better.😊
One of the things that make me feel so happy is to visit the beach. I love to watch the sun set and play many games at the beach side. I love to Para-sail and other activities in the beach. Do you know that water can speak to a soul? I will interpret it for you when we go to the beach together 😊
I was born in Naples, Italy but came back to the UK with my parents at the age of 6. My family have always lived in UK until my mum moved back to Italy after we lost dad. I moved out of UK because it was lonely for me and the memories it bring to me was my family and my lost dad.😔 Anyway, let me not bore you with things that I don’t wish to remember.…

I moved out of UK because it was lonely for me and the memories it bring to me was my family and my lost dad.😔 Anyway, let me not bore you with things that I don’t wish to remember.
I left UK at the age of 16 to attend school in Hamburg Germany. I lived in Germany for 6 years before relocating to Robert Gordon University Aberdeen Scotland where I had my Masters. I finally now live in the UK after finishing my studies in Scotland. My long stay abroad makes people to say I have German accent; whether German, Italian, or British accent, all I know is that I speak English fluently. Lol😂
I am a bit religious, affectionate, outgoing, active, energetic, positive, generous man with a healthy sense of humour who is rediscovering all that life has to offer. I'm a bit of a clown, and playful. I am a fun loving, humble man with the belief that a woman should be treated like a lady and that it is always ladies first.
I am a ship engineer by profession,a work I love to do. I am generally a happy person who has achieved much in life. I am fun to be with and can be very romantic. 💖'
