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.

Hi dear ---VICTIM REDACTED---!
Can you please send me some photos of you?
Age different does not matter!
My number is ---REDACTED---. I do not have apps. But you may call my number to talk!
Is Guri-si a big city?
Do you live alone?
What do you do for work?
What do you do for fun and hobbies?
I have few professions. Economy did not cause much interest from me. I like communication with people and I like everything about beauty. When I still was a student I took a hairdressing course. After that I learned to do manicure and pedicure. But I work as hairdresser now as I like to work with hair more. I like to develop my skills. I believe that can help in starting own business.
Besides work I enjoy: walks, trips, meeting friends, cooking, watching movies, reading, music, sports, cycling, skating. I love summer, spending time outdoors, beaches, swimm…
