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.

Beloved in the Lord,

Hi dear I am posting this content very well understood. I'm sorry for my late reply; it was because I was weak as a result of the chemotherapy program that I undergo for my treatment before the surgical operation arrives. Most times it keeps me weak for a few days before I regain my strength. Despite this, I struggle to write to you from my laptop because I have to update you about your request.My dear it might interest you to know that I am left alone here by my ex-wife who is my only family because she never bore me any child. Still, because of her, my extended family abandoned me before she ran away with my personal Attorney with a huge amount of my money. I don't want to remember this again as I have forgiven her and every other person.

As I am talking with you now, all my extended family members thought I am dead because the last time I tried to reconcil…

Beloved in the Lord,

Hi dear I am posting this content very well understood. I'm sorry for my late reply; it was because I was weak as a result of the chemotherapy program that I undergo for my treatment before the surgical operation arrives. Most times it keeps me weak for a few days before I regain my strength. Despite this, I struggle to write to you from my laptop because I have to update you about your request.My dear it might interest you to know that I am left alone here by my ex-wife who is my only family because she never bore me any child. Still, because of her, my extended family abandoned me before she ran away with my personal Attorney with a huge amount of my money. I don't want to remember this again as I have forgiven her and every other person.

As I am talking with you now, all my extended family members thought I am dead because the last time I tried to reconcile with them, they pretended to be with me and only to get hold of another huge amount of my money and made away with it, abandoning me alone in the house. It was by the grace of God that I was brought to this Lisbon central hospital by the insurance agent whom I had life insurance with his company. Since then I have been leaving under the mercy of the company. I never set my eyes on any of either my ex-wife or any of my extended family members. So I took life the way I found it, knowing that God still kept me alive for a reason. How can I serve him; then I remembered I have some money which I kept for safety during my gold business trip days. I decided to use and donate it to the work of the charity.Seeing that I am bedridden and incapacitated to do anything on my own, I decided to look for a trustworthy person whom I will entrust the fund into his hands for the person to use it and buy a land and build a home or to buy a house for the use and purpose of establishing a Charity Foundation. I know this is a very huge responsibility that I am giving you and that is why I never demanded that the charity foundation must be in my name. It can be established in any name but my primary concern is that let it be in memory of me, my name, whether I survive after the operation or not. I am trusting God for everything and I know Him alone will champion this course.

Also, I did not choose you on my own accord or power but by the inspiration of God after my prayers. It is not a must that you will accept to do the work but let the will of God in your life be done. If you decide and consider to do the work, I will need mostly your personal information to enable me to put up a letter of authorization which will be sent to the bank when contacting them for your introduction as my partner who they will release the fund to for further use in a charity project. It is only when the bank is ready to release and transfer the fund to you that you will determine whether they should transfer to your account or any of your designated account anywhere. Therefore, kindly send me your personal information as requested before and again below:

Your Full Name: ............?
Your Contact Home Address: ...............?
Your Contact Phone Number: ...............? It will also interest you to know that the amount of the fund is USD $9,700,000.00 deposited in US Dollars with the Escrow Department of the Barclays bank. The state of deposit of the fund gave me no chance of simply ordering the release from my sickbed and I don't want the bank to have the money if anything happens to me or the Lord demands because they will not use it to help the poor and the needy. That is why I want the fund to be under your control before the date of my surgical operation comes. The doctor already told me that the date will be fixed in no longer time and as soon as the chief surgeon returns.

The fund's deposit slip and other information will be given to you as soon as I am convinced that you are willing and ready to do the work by providing the above information of yours which I requested. I have nothing hidden or any other intention other than what I have clearly explained to you.

Meanwhile, I will leave you as I am getting tired and need to have my rest but will try and check for your positive response to my request, otherwise, do not bother to respond. God bless you continually and richly reward you.

Thank you so much for your anticipated kindness and love.

Remain Blessed,
Your Brother in Lord,
Sr. Lombardo De Oviedo.

Hallo, entschuldigen Sie bitte, dass ich Sie kontaktiere. Ich sagte mir, dass Sie die Person sind, die ich brauche. Kurz gesagt, mein Name ist ALEXANDRA WINTER und ich lebe in Frankreich. Ich leide an einer schweren Krankheit, die mich zum sicheren Tod verurteilt, Kehlkopfkrebs ist und ich habe eine Summe von 277.800 Euro, die ich einer vertrauensvollen und ehrlichen Person spenden möchte, damit er sie gut gebrauchen kann. Ich besitze eine Rotöl-Importfirma in Frankreich und habe vor 4 Jahren meinen Ehemann verloren, was mich sehr betroffen hat und ich konnte nur wieder heiraten. Heute hatten wir keine Kinder. Ich möchte diesen Betrag spenden, bevor mein Tod meine Tage für das Fehlen dieser Krankheit gezählt hat, die ich nicht heilen konnte, aber ein Beruhigungsmittel in Frankreich würde später nicht wissen, ob Sie von diesem Geschenk profitieren könnten.
