AnyScam.com has been moved to
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'm just here thinking about you, like I always do. I hope you're as happy as me; The thought of you in my arms right now sounds so good to me. I just want you to know how much I love you....Having your love has been the best thing that has happened to me. I have never felt so much love from anyone even though i have once been to a relationship. Everyday, when I awake from a dream of us together, I thank God I found you - I just wish I had more time with you in my dreams to show you how much I love you now that distance is keeping us apart. The way you show your love for me is so unreal; I feel so loved! I need only to think of you, of us, our love, hopes, and dreams. I want to spend my life with you, loving you and receiving your love in return. I long to be in your arms and feeling your touch. Everything that keeps us apart will soon be gone and we will have each other always. Honey, thank you for loving me the way you do...I really appreciates it a lot with my whole heart..
Take care for me with a pleasant day and hope we chat tonight
Victor with so much love for you...

Good afternoon.
Please after Ahmad Shaban's request issue me a package, which had
been deposited in his deceased father in the company several years.
Ahmad Shaban now is sick and not in their own country.
