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.

I highly prefer to have a direct bank transfer through paypal. With the help of the FBI agent, its not really helping much.
They are asking me for some form of ID which I then refused just for personal security reasons.
Have reported to paypal as well.
Private Key Seller is part of the situation too and I consider him a big scammer too.

I am from Korea but I live in New York City.
I am an engineering contractor by profession, so I travel a lot.
I am 40.
i am a very rich man.
I am currently working on a very huge contract proposal. I have been working on it for the past 12 weeks.
I will be done working on it soon and then submit it to the Government Department of Energy.
When the proposal is reviewed, If I am lucky enough, I would be invited for an interview/meeting by the American government.
And then, I would travel to the sea for 4 weeks, after which I will be given a 6 weeks vacation to travel anywhere in the world. And I'm thinking of coming to Japan to spend this vacation.

She forwarded an email she sent me that claimed she needed to ‘unlock’ her inheritance by paying $10,000, and said she would give me $70,000 if I paid the fee to unlock her inheritance. I paid the $10000 by sending the money via bitcoin. She then sent me a copy of a letter claiming that her inheritance could not be retrieved without paying $28000 in taxes. She said she would give me $90,000 if I paid the $28000 in taxes. I paid for the taxes along with some of her daily expenses. She gave me access to her bank account (royalstandard.org) containing the inheritance money, and I input my bank information to send the money to my bank account via wire. I later paid for her plane ticket and civil fine fee among various other expenses. She told me she bought a plane ticket back to the U.S. but was deported to her home country of Australia upon arriving in the US. I send all her documents to a private investigator who confirmed that all of her documents were fraudulent or photoshopped.
