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.

QUALITY PIGEONS ARE HERE TO BE FOUND FOR NORMAL PRICES!
We sell quality birds and not the latest market driven nonsense. Across Europe in Auctions pigeons reach soaring prices and many of these go to the Far East which means it is much harder to obtain good quality pigeons for a modest price. At Europigeons.nl there are no auctions, no false bidding to get extra money out of pockets of the fanciers, for promotion reasons. The fanciers behind the company belong to the best in Holland on the Long Distance races. This way we make it easier to obtain pigeons directly from the best pigeons in Europe.
Please keep in mind that not all birds we have on stock are listed at our website. Is the pigeon or strain you are looking for not listed? Don't worry, just contact us, we are sure we can help you anyway...
Best regards,
Jan de Wijs

***We never really e-mailed on gmail, we used an app called Hangouts which uses gmail addresses to send messages or I-phone calls back and forth. Kind of a Skype. Before using Hangouts we texted each other using ---REDACTED---. He then had to go work on an oil rig in the Black Sea off Turkey. That is when we used Hangouts to send messages and call through I-phone. I just sent the gmail he used for your information.
