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.

Reports to be traveling form Argentina to Texas for work as a deep sea pipeline engineer, lands a multibillion contract but mechanical equipment problems and all his money is already invested and cannot access his funds in Argentina.
Sends stolen counterfeit check to deposit and start sending him money. Showed up slightly disguised, no contact other than smile and a hi 3 days before check receipt. Startling revelation to find him in my waiting room. (I'm keenly observant and made decision to be wary and not confront on my own)
I made this man angry by holding all funds for clearance and refusing to send.
Got my online banking info, used mobile banking to deposit 14 counterfeit checks and transfer out $1500 to an account in Scarborough.

I made this man angry by holding all funds for clearance and refusing to send.
Got my online banking info, used mobile banking to deposit 14 counterfeit checks and transfer out $1500 to an account in Scarborough.
Can or could see my mobile phone info (work emails) persisted I think because I was notified of an upcoming retro pay via email from work. We did not discuss but he commented when angry when told no money to send. Sent photo of himself teaching child martial arts at a time when my ex was verbally threatening me. Often stated he would protect me with his life.
Called him on the scammer several times, 1st before end of September (used poetry quotes in email I was curious about and searched. Emails found almost word for word on a scammer reporting site). IP location is middle of lake in middle of Kansas. Called me and cried. Phone is digitally scrambled and untraceable. Pings like mad and difficult to hear voice. Scrambles and pleads every time he is called on the mission for money to keep me dragging along.
Last texts received on Dec 31/17 read:
Baby I fall in love with you with all my heart body and soul and till death to us part I will never stop loving you.
Interesting coincidence: Today happens to be a *weekend *Month end * Year end, *All your struggle in 2017 will end. I am glad you made it to the end. Happy New Year in Advance. Good evening Honey

How are you doing today, Just thought I'd write you a short note to tell you how much I enjoyed reading about you. I can't recall when I had a more pleasant time. Everything felt so natural about you and you sounded so easy going. It's hard for me to identify what it is about you that attract me so much. I suppose it might be the combination of your charming personality and your good-looks. Whatever it is, I can sense its presence. You could call it chemistry, or better yet, the possibility that we are on the same wavelength.
I am a very outgoing and fun loving man, with a passionate and generous heart. I try to find the lesson in every situation... situations of joy, pain, sorrow, love etc. have made me grow emotionally, mentally,physically and spiritually. I am dedicated and committed when it comes to a romantic relationship... I want to be in a relationship where she br…

I am a very outgoing and fun loving man, with a passionate and generous heart. I try to find the lesson in every situation... situations of joy, pain, sorrow, love etc. have made me grow emotionally, mentally,physically and spiritually. I am dedicated and committed when it comes to a romantic relationship... I want to be in a relationship where she brings out the best in me and I in her. I would rather be hurt with the truth, than a lie. I want a woman to see me as her equal.
Did I mention that I have many different type of smiles? There's a food smile, a guilty smile, a loving passionate smile, a cooking smile. I have been told that my energy is infectious and addicting and that I am full of passion. I just find so much to be happy about and sometimes it's the littlest of things. I love surprises! I love giving presents and giving surprises. Actually I just like giving. I am looking for a woman that knows who she is. I've learned that communication is key to a relationship so she must be able to talk and not hold things in until they blow up. I do not want someone who I will control. Everyone is entitled to their emotions and feelings. I am a big cuddlier and love kissing and holding each other.
I am high maintenance when it comes to affection and romance/intimacy. I want those things which money cannot buy... respect, love, honesty, generosity, communication, chemistry, passion, humility and tolerance-- to name a few.
What are your deal breakers in a relationship? Do you have any one cause in the world, be it political, humanitarian, environmental, that really speaks to you? What is your greatest fear? Do you live in a house, apartment, duplex, mobile home, rv, tent? What is your favorite movie that you have recently seen and why? How about books? do you read? Do you have a best friend? Girl or guy? Tell me about him/her.I really hope that our first communication was not our last because I felt very special when I received your email. I truly want to give our friendship a chance to grow. Well, I guess I've said enough for the time being.I have attached some pictures to this email,I hope you like them?And I will like to see more pictures of you. Have a wonderful time. If you have a chance, email me..ok.
Until I hear from you, take care of yourself.
Always,
Jackson.
Hello Honey,
Awwwww you are so beautiful honey, and thanks for your honest and sincere email,it put a big smile on my face.though you didn't tell me about your job and some questions were left unanswered, But I will answer now to the same questions I have asked.
Deal breakers in a relationship would be someone who mistreated anyone, physically or emotionally; someone I could not trust, someone who is drug or alcohol dependent; someone who indulged in criminal activity(s);someone who could not financially support their chosen lifestyle or expected someone else to financially support them if they were capable of doing it themselves.
My one cause I would consider close to my heart would be around kids, under-privileged and people living with cancer. I make an annual donation to support people living with cancer. My greatest fear would be anything relating to heart and pain for those I love be it family or friends.
I live in a house that I own, It has a fully developed basement, I have an outdoor hot tub, I like my house, but have bought a 1 acre plot that I plan on building my dream home within the next couple of years.
My favorite movie would be the Blindside with Sandra Bullock. I enjoy inspirational stories based on true events, especially when they involve youth succeeding under overwhelmingly low odds and sports.
I do read educational book relating to my job. I also have a series of books I like to read when traveling for business or lots when I am on vacation. There is a series of books by Janet Evonavich that I enjoy.It is what I call “Brain Candy” it is purely entertaining and does not take any brain power to understand, purely for the humor factor. I do mix in the odd deeper book or intellectual book to keep my brain alive and well.
I have a few best friends. I would say Calvin would be my overall best friend who I have known for so many years.
I need to say this.... if I ever say something that gives you any kind of negative feeling please share that with me. I am an upfront honest genuine person. I am not a mind reader, and in order for us to have intimacy I ask that you never hesitate to ask me questions or clarify any statements I make. I say all this because of your sincere honestly. It is also important to me that people in my life do things out of want, not out of obligation and convenience. I believe there is something wonderfully new and beautiful here, and I am grateful to have this opportunity to communicate with you.
I want to know about your work schedule. I am a pipeline engineer, I work ---REDACTED--- Monday thru Friday and then do physical activities (long walks, treadmill, elliptical, bike rides etc.) I also consult for various companies. Presently I have a project I am working on, it is an underwater piping project, it is the laying of high pressure pipes deep sea.
I want to know what your definition is of romance. I am a hopeless romantic.... ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?? A soft long passionate kiss is probably one of the most intimate things you can share with another person, plus holding hands, a loving glance, a post it note in the bathroom for you, a rose on your pillow, a letter/card in the mail just because, a touch on the face and even a dance in the moonlight without music. I get as much awe from a home cooked meal versus going out to dinner. For me, there is romance in a woman taking time to do something from the heart because she wants to for no other reason than to see the smile on my face.... simple pleasures are amazing.
I want to be the first person to greet you on this special moment. You may wonder what moment I am talking about, but believe me, the moment this email reaches you will be truly special for me. And you are the reason why.
It has been a special day everyday since I've first contacted you. You gave me a reason to wake up with a smile on my face every morning. As I wake up, I know that I will be joining a world that includes a beautiful person like you. So this moment is truly special. I hope that you already know why.
Yours truly,
Jackson.
Hello Honey,
How are you doing today. wow it sound grate reading from you, i enjoyed reading your mail over and over because it keeps me close to you. thanks for taken out time to compose mails for my eyes only and answering the question i have asked you. your job is also demanding and i applaud your sense of passion for your job adding to the fact it deals with health and human. truly you are a woman of virtue.
Well let me first start by telling you who I am......I am Jackson, I am physically fit. I had a fairly normal and happy childhood. I was born in Mendoza, mom was from Texas and dad from Mendoza. I grew up with mom in USA, I lost my dad when I was 6years old to brain tumor. My mom latter remarried and had a son from her second marriage, mom died 4years ago, she had cancer.. I have an accent and I hope you don't mind that. I returned back to Mendoza from USA in 2001, I worked for an engineering outfit and in 2006 I moved to Córdoba were I lived till 2012. I relocated back to Mendoza late 2012.

The client made financial investment of $8,000,000.00 (eight million United States dollars) in 2003 and is now worth US$ 23,500,000.00 (Twenty-three million, five hundred thousand United States dollars). Since the money was due and the account inactive, the investigation which lasted 18 months was launched because he did not record a receiver on his authorised deed in line with his philosophy in enouncing valuables.
The reason I am contacting you is that I am prepared to place you in a beneficiary position as the rightful next of kin to this estate. (Nobody can confirm or deny your relationship) so you can claim this money and we…

The reason I am contacting you is that I am prepared to place you in a beneficiary position as the rightful next of kin to this estate. (Nobody can confirm or deny your relationship) so you can claim this money and we share it.
I am NOT saying you are related to the Testator but the transaction can easily be accomplished. We can fine-tune this based on good interaction and knowledgeable input. The money should be released to you within a few days after all the necessary paperwork has been filled under the prevailing act of no claim.
We can share at a ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. If we can be of one accord, please give me confirmation to proceed.
