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 want to feel something real in my life, i want to feel something nice and amazingmy child hood was a not a lot to talk about, i have lost my both parents when i was 6 years old, my uncle is a nice man and he has taken me to america , he was the one that took me in and trained me in school here in america and also he has put me through into his business and now i work in his business and control it as well, well its always a prestige to take control over his business , my child hood was not so nice and beautiful as i have always had break ups when i was in secondary school guess the cute guys took all the hot girls in school hahahahaaha well i have met my wife on the day of my graduation she came with a friend and i have asked her out for date, we were married for a while and then i lost her 6 years ago during child birth, but thats in the past now and now am ready to settle down again probably with you , you are a good friend and you will make a good woman and companion too, heres a little secret i pray for you most time when i am about going to bed, it is 2 28 am here now, and i am awake writing to you, i have one request please i will like to call you on video call please, i beg , you still didnt tell me the kind of work you are into. if you have whatsapp give me your number let me add you too. thank you my dear, take care you are in my heart
i am no longer using facebook, check the email i have sent you before i have told you there that i dont like using Facebook i have come to just look for a friend and i have found you so why should i start dealing with Facebook when its of no use my dear? well i am back from church a couple of hours ago and now its 3 56 pm here i play with my dogs and i write you as well my dear, its a nice plan to get a three bedroom apartment, hmm was thinking since being together will be cool here in america why get an apartment there since we can stay together my dear. its just a thought.
well i am having a real hard time at work as my workers don't want to go back to work for so many reasons, they said i have to pay them for shelter and food allowance and i dont know where i get money for that, i dont have more cash with me, i try to explain to them but they dont listen to me at all, i go to the bank by 3 pm today for a meeting to see if they will offer me a loan, this is the problem i have been trying to hide from you for the past 11 days. they stopped working and the job has a profit of 25000 dollars and if they dont work , i wont get paid and if i wont get paid i wont be able to care for my family.
my workers are in america here as well, but they are not Americans, my uncles allowances doesn't come now ,he has put it in the bank and can only come when hes dead, i can only withdraw the money after his death, we are still having issues on that, the workers are just the numbers for the work, the work took longer than it should be thats why theres an additional cost to it. i dont have anything else to do as i have gone to borrow money and they have refused to give me.
i cant sort things out, i feel confused and scattered in the brainjust for the little sum of 1050 dollars? you want me to close down my business ? its just a little money i need from you, i pay you back once i get my profit from the job.
