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.

de la situación, agradece y adora al Dios Todopoderoso por darnos la
gracia de ver la luz de hoy y la oportunidad de conocernos. En cuanto
a mí, estoy a salvo, gracias por el cumplido que me diste, mi espíritu
todavía dice que eres la persona con la que pasaré el resto de mi
vida. Me alegró mucho leer el mensaje y creo que te has ganado mi
corazón y mi amor, no la actitud hacia tu puesto y las experiencias
calientes del pasado, vayamos tras ellos y concentrémonos en el
futuro. Daré todo mi amor y confianza si eres abierto y honesto
conmigo para que no molestes mi corazón.
Sobre mi profesión: Servir en las Naciones Unidas no es una tarea
fácil, pero agradezco a Dios por darme el coraje y la sabiduría que he

Sobre mi profesión: Servir en las Naciones Unidas no es una tarea
fácil, pero agradezco a Dios por darme el coraje y la sabiduría que he
vivido en tiempos difíciles y peligrosos. Soy una mujer con dolor,
decidí unirme al ejército para proteger la vida de personas inocentes
y niños que no conocen al gobierno y están afectados por la guerra y
los crímenes provocados por algunos líderes políticos codiciosos.
Serví en la guerra ocho años y planeo en cualquier momento después de
mi trabajo, retirarme, así que comencé una nueva vida no como un
soldado, te contacté para encontrar a mi alma gemela con la que pueda
planificar el futuro, gracias a Dios te encontré , Creo que Dios tiene
algo especial para mi y le recé a buen señor para saber que tenía que
lidiar con certeza, debo decir que me siento muy a gusto contigo y me
gustaría abrirte la puerta de mi corazón, aunque personalmente no nos
conocemos pero admiro tu poca información que he aprendido sobre ti,
me interesa una verdadera historia de amor y me gusta conocerte y
planificar nuestra vida futura juntos si es la voluntad de Dios.
La mejor relación suele comenzar inesperadamente, la distancia es
simple, y puedes ver cuanto amor viaja, soy muy serio contigo y quiero
conocerte personalmente y compartir contigo el amor de mi corazón,
querida, que es muy

I almost paid the money $2871 dollars plus fee and mtcn track. The cashier said need to call through the western union department. He called said they give me a hard time with big the questions. I stood and waited to listen the calling almost one hour. After the result, they said that it's scam and gave me cancelled mtcn and refund back money. I piss off with them. I can't believed them. The cashier said to me next time don't use the money over $1,000 then get a call and give big questions. I'll try go different place again

Not looking at my young age, I feel to be a mature woman. I started my adult life early, I started to work since I was 16 years old and from that time I am at myself.
I am not looking for my young boy! Please understand me! I am looking for a mature man who made wise with life experience! I prefer my man to be older than me because of a few reasons and I will tell you them later!
I can tell so many things about myself, but I prefer you to ask me! I am just a normal single woman!

I know from your profile you have kids, two sons and I would like to tell you from the beginning kids can not be a problem for serious ladies. How are their names?
I do not have kids on my own yet, but I have 2 wonderful nieces 2 and 14 years old and one nephew 10 years old. We all live together with my sister and her kids. I raised them and I know how to get a deal with kids.
So, what about me
I am single, brunette... Hmm, not much :( I am not a good writer, so better ask me questions, because I think I have a very usual girl. I like my work that is also my hobby. I also collect old books))Also, I have never been out of Ukraine, well, I have been in Russia but it was a long time ago, I had a grandmother living in Russia, but she died, and I have not many relatives, my mother lives not far away from me, my fath…

I have a sister.
What is your usual day look like? What do you like to eat? What is your favourite food? As for me, I do not cook often because I live alone and I eat mostly fruits and vegetables and salads. But when I come to my parent’s house I usually cook much, I like cooking.
What are you like and what are your dislikes? Is anything you are afraid of? For example, I am afraid of dogs very much and what about you?
What do you think about the relationship between man and woman if they live so far from each other? I do not know much about the relationship at all, and I am just trying to find a man who will be everything for me, but I want to find a man who is made wise with life experience. For me, online dating is a little bit not very understandable but also I think people who find each other this way they are more serious to each other, because spending so much time just writing letters to one man or to one woman and then meeting and many problems, they will never leave each other then, because they will have so many problems they pass together
