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 believed it because I was stupid, but I realized that there were a lot of strange things. I think it is better to stop acts that hurt people. One day a person will die. Please live a good life as well. I don't have any personal information, but I'm reporting it so that no one else can be fooled. Thank you

This man argues that he has been in serveral parts of the world, first he insisted to be in Fort Irwin at California, then move to Delaware and actually insists that he has been training a group of soldiers in Panama.
His English is so basic that it is easy to know he is not the person on the pictures.

Thank you sweetheart
I will go back to the hotel to clear the bills immediately he receives the money
I love you from the bottom of my heart
I truly love you, I’m not a scammer
You’re a loving and caring woman
You have a good heart
You’re lovable, any reasonable man would fall in love with you easily
---VICTIM REDACTED--- can you send me some iTunes card?
So how can you get it now?
Nothing wrong happened sweetheart
I’m fine... I just got a message from the security agency holding my 1.8 million dollars
They want me to get my belongings from their facility soon because they’re going on renovation
It is either they send it over to me through a secured shipping company or i come over by myself to get it myself
It is better I send the money over here, what do you think?
I want to send it over to you to keep it for me then we can pay everyone we owe money
I think it is better they send the money over to Japan through the shipping company
This are the information I will need to be able to register the package successfully
