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 was suppose to be home middle of this month but our leave break was postponed due to all stress and a lot work here. But today I had to see a senior staff to seek advice on what to do so that I can be release to go home. Here is the suggestion.
The only way I can be home is to apply for personal leave break. I'll give you administrative email and write out what you will tell them. You I'll apply for leave on my behalf as a friend. Then we I'll wait for their reply.
I will give you admin email. And tell you what to say. It's just an email you send nothing stress and we I'll wait for their reply.
What do you think dear? It's will be easy for me to get home and I'll appreciate it if we could do this together. I would have tell my son to do this but not yet 18 years still a teenager.
What do you think?

Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Musa Ibrahim. If the content of this message is contrary to your moral ethics, please accept my apology. But, please treat with absolute secrecy. I am working with one of the prime banks in Burkina Faso. Here in this bank existed a dormant account for many years, which belong to one of our late foreign customer. The amount in this account stands at $13,300,000.00 (Thirteen Million Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
I was very fortunate to come across the deceased customer's security file during documentation of old and abandoned customer’s files for an official documentation and audit of the year 2020.
I want a foreign account where the bank will transfer this fund. I know you would be surprised to read this message, especially from someone relatively unknown to you. But, do not worry yourself so much. This is a genuine, risk free and legal business tra…
