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.

Dear valued customer,

This is to inform you that an Anti-Money Laundering Certificate is also needed here. For your information, we have done everything we could to get the Diamond Certificate which you paid for yesterday, but it wasn't possible because it has to attached together with an Anti-Money Laundering Certificate, which means we cannot have the Diamond Certificate without an Anti-Money Laundering certificate. Both certificates have the same price, so now you are going to pay USD$11,750 for Anti-Money Laundering certificate immediately to finalize all processes and send your Package to South Korea today.

Thank you,
Mr. George Willy
