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.

---REDACTED--- July 9 (Thursday) 12:57 am (4 days ago) I spoke with a travel agency. She said I can book the cheapest hotel. The cost is $1059. I will get my visa and fly to you. And I cancel the reservation and they return the money for the reservation. Can I use it that way? Please don't hurt the laver. I love you and want to be with you above all else in this life. It is not my fault that the embassy has too many rules. Your child

I hope and pray that this message reach you in good health. The beauty of your heart reflects in your words, I do not need anyone to tell me that you have a beautiful heart. It is crystal clear that you are as beautiful inside as your looks outside. I am really happy that am learning more about you, In that way we will not be strangers to each other by the time we meet. I can not wait to meet you and have a drink with you and hold hands together. Do you like holding hands while having a nice walk?
