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 wish to inform you that all matters relating to the release of this payment is now under my control and supervision. This development has become necessary due to the activities of unpatriotic government/CBN officials and impostors who keep on frustrating every effort to settle our clients by making requests for unauthorized fees and levies from them.
We apologize for any delay you might have encountered in the past; your payment is now 100% Guaranteed
Kindly choose from these three modes of payment (wire transfer, diplomatic cash payment and ATM card).
Best Regards,
Mr.Adebayo Adelabu
Deputy Governor CBN

i was trying to finish the contract with the deadline they gave to me. I am happy that i have finish the work,I have submitted your bank account information to the government because they told me that i must provide one bank account so that they will monitor it to know when i receive the money.
Honey, please i want you to be honest with me, you know that i suffer a lot in this project and you did not even contribute or help your husband in anyway, i use all my money to do this contract, if you run away with the money, i will die and even my mum will also die as soon as she get any news about the evil that happens to me. I trusted you so much, though we have not met before but i still believe in you and trust you. Please i want you to reconfirm your bank account details again and promise me that you will receive this money for me without any thing. If i send it to my own account, i will not be able to pay the local workers and they told me that they will not allow me to go back till i paid them, my mum cannot send money to me and she is sick, Maria is not up to 18 years. You are the only person that i can trust right now.
Please i cannot fly to UK till you send me money here to pay off my debts. I love you so much and i want to spend the rest of my life with you.

My darling, right now., i am having problem with cash, i did not have enough money after i bought the machine. I need one baby incubator and it cost $1,350. I don't know if there is a way that you can help me with it. I don't have money again in my credit card and the only money that is with me right now is $1000 which i have for my expense both my feeding and my transportation to work. Please if you can help me,let me know so that i can give you bank account that you can help me with it.
*************************************************************************************************************
My darling, i am so worried, the problem of the Dialysis machine is not yet solve due to insufficient amount with me. I went to the market, they are selling it $55,500 but what i have with me both in my credit card is $51,000. I don't know why anytime that i got problem and need help from my friends, they will not help me but when they are in needs i try my best to help them. I have been calling my two friends to see if they can borrow me money but they could not. I don't know what to do honestly and i did not have enough time with me right now. I have two weeks to finish the contract.
******************************************************************************************************
I am not doing very well today because one of my Dialysis machine broke down this afternoon and it cannot be repair. I am so sad over it and is giving me a little concern. I will go to the market to look for the machine tomorrow.
