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 miss you. I miss you deeply!
I wish we were together right now so I could fill you with kisses and tell you a bunch of silly things into those pretty little ears of yours. If only you knew how much I miss you right now, you would surely fly over to give me a sweet kiss and a hug.
I can´t bear being away from you any longer. When i am far from you time seems to slow down, the hours become tedious and not even a good glass of wine can make me feel better. I fight loneliness against my will but I can´t wait to be with you face to face, and to be able to touch you and kiss you tenderly. Be sure those kisses will be very special, because you deserve them.

I am more than concern about every client I have.Yes I advised her much about it plus authenticating document as nothing to do with tax she was asked to pay hope you getting me right. No one can question your commitment to her because shes your fiance and whatever commitment should be to her only not the government of Republic of the Philippines, this is law" Government of the Federal Republic of the PHILIPPINES has every right to checkmate everyone going in and out of her country for any possible treat to her nation bringing in contraband products or smuggling out is a capital offense here in the Philippines not only here in the Philippines even in United states and all major countries around the world which yourself is very much aware of so that's a different case or issue . Just keep in mind whatever the tax maybe I would try my possible best for you and my client if is negotiable hopefully is tax you both would come up with and back her up with legal authority. That's all I could possibly help with nothing more .
Moreover,I do not have time to go around picking up remittance this morning. I am very busy every Monday morning got lot of things to do I am doing this because my client as been held for days. I need too and make sure shes physically fit and mentally stable because am sure shes must be dramatized by now.Give me a call at your convenient time.
Is 3:36am here in Philippines I just woke up preparing for the case I have at the court today and also checking out to read your email.This is a serious case if that's what shes been charged for but I will make sure I bail her our today .whatever remittance you send my fees is fine just email me before 8am Philippine time so I could call my secretary to pick the remittance up .Ones bail out I would assist her in whatever way I could on her tax payment hopefully is payable on release .
I don't work for free Mr Chris did she mention to you that her grandfather owe me in past? But I had to let go whatever Johnson her grandfather owes me dead don't pay debt.if you want me to go for her you pay me first is your choice leave it or take it. Try get another atty for her and see what charges you will pay as foreigner.you have my number whenever you ready you give me a call.

You shouldn't have sent my client personal legal documents to some atty you met online .You should have contacted me first because I am the family lawyer. My client would be granted bail by Monday without any major bailing charges but my consultation fees of 15,000 Philippines should be paid before I proceed because how do I find my client without monetary access to go around looking for her.I will do all my possible best to find her today or Monday. Let me know if my fees would be paid before I take up this case and you should provide me mode of payment plus Whatever comes up with the tax then we both get you inform about it.If the tax is payable right after bail then you or her would make provision for that as I could not be liable for her tax payment.By the way , you should stop whatever email you've been conveying to any atty in Bohol because they would escalate this case …
