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.

Well I told I had some confidentiality to reveal to you . I think and know in my heart that you are a good person with a good heart and I find you trustworthy and believe I can confide in you . You know what we do out here , fight for our fellow Americans and the people we love . We are seen as heroes but I tell my brothers and sisters out here that the real heroes are back home and that's you guys , doing a great job supporting us out here.
My dear, God saved my life and even though i have been in the Infirmary receiving treatment, i still thank God for being alive today, our van got hit by RPG and the power turned it over,I took two bullets, we got pinned down and no exit, we received heavy firing and secured a safe position till our back up came to our rescue, throughout the 1 hour 45 minutes, of all that with the sound of bullets all through this moment, face to face with death I never paused thinking about you and about home, All i asked God was to live to see another day for you, for everyone that cared about me and loved me and wished to see me back home safe and sound.
I am Ok at the moment, the bullet passed through my laps, nothing to fear, it is just a flesh cut, i was really very lucky it didn't hit any bone, at least now I will be out of action for at least a week or two, I took a walk to the command room just to chat with you and inform you of what's really going on at the moment here in Afghan, for now my dearest passion, I am out of action. i am just so happy for two reasons, God saved my life and restored my hope and they he granted my request for a change of life and also to fulfill my dreams, desires and aspirations.
Sending this message to you brings me so much joy and happiness, one of my regrets was how I wish you are here by my side to cuddle me with a warm hug full of love and care and also to nurse my wounds, There is no single second that passes by in a day that I don't get lost dreaming of coming home in one piece, my heart is filled up with so much emotions everyday that all I do is pray for my retirement approval to be out soon.
While we went for a mission, something wonderful happened, something that will change our life forever, i have so much trust and confidence in you that's why i am telling you this, During our patrol our Intel passed a resourceful information to us and with the lead and our base approval we made the confrontation, and to our greatest surprise, we discovered in their hide out lots of ammunition, a plan for a suicide plot still in planning against our base, huge amount of cash in US dollars, This people are really terrible, how can a human being sit and plan to kill his follow human being just because of mans view point, it is unbelievable.
Anyways the kicker here is I have a fortune that I think will interest you. I have in my possession the sum of $5.8million dollars found in a rescue mission here in Afghanistan under the led squad of Capt. Ronald Duke . We found a huge amount of money stashed away by a sheik which is an Afghan based-American intelligence that we were supposed to rescue from the grasps of the Taliban rebels. Found dead after an attack by the Taliban we launched an assault and conquered the zone to our best surprises . Well I tell you, it was a very nasty and horrible experience! Actually my worst experience overseas.. So close in the face of death but God somehow miraculously saved his soldiers, because it was a just battle.
On our way back to camp we made a stop and our team head mapped out some of the money for our well being, I couldn't say no, I took it, the reality of the fact that i will be leaving the Military soon and pursue my dreams started unfolding, I remembered so many good comfort the money will provide when I leave the active service, I took it, i had no option, I have with me as I am sending this message the sum of $5.8million US dollars, "five million and eight hundred thousand US dollars, my fear is that this money can not be safe in the base camp.
So the thing is, I will love for you to seek a way to help me get my own part out of the Arab world to the home for the sole purpose of Investment and also actualizing my dreams. I trust you to keep this confidential as I anticipate your loyal and trustworthy help to the off shore transfer of this sum and treasures in my possession.
Willing to oblige, I will make the necessary delivery arrangements as soon as possible and send you the transaction details and also our medical supplies will be coming in any moment from now, all I need to do hand them over the box and it will get to you, I can plead with the flight accompanying diplomat that clears our medical supplies to lift it out of our base, please let me have your address where it will be delivered to you, and in just few days the story of our lives will change for good, i trust you so much and i also trust that you will help out with the facilitation of the transfer and safe keeping of this funds in any account of your choice until i am back home.
I wanna make a difference in the world with this, well here's it, I wanna help the orphans on the street and the poor and less privileged in our society and I also wanna fight against cancer, I wanna partner with the WHO, UNICEF and other Multinational and Global Organizations in the fight against Cancer which stole from me two very important people in my life, I'm never gonna ever let it steal from me again., I wanna try to make it right for as many people as possible, I wanna try to give their lives a meaning, I wanna be an agent of peace and change, I know it sounds too ambitious but like I always say "Everyone Deserves a Second Chance".
I really don't wanna loose this money, it is very important that we get the funds transferred out of the base as soon as possible as it is not safe here, so i need you to do this for me, for us, am willing to give you 30% of the total sum for your effort but you feel free to negotiate what you wish to take as your percentage in this, I am doing this in appreciation for your assistance. Thanks a lot my dear for your kind and usual understanding as I anticipate your quick and positive response to this effect.

Hello my dear, How are you? I hope all is well with you, as for me I have been in the medical department receiving treatment so i could not get on-line to talk to you and i am sorry about that but you have to understand that i got lucky it was just a bullet scratch so you have nothing to get worried about.
I want to give you my full assurance on this, you have nothing to worry about. Right now i am very worried over the fund that is still in my possession here in the camp which is not safe here with me because if its found on me here I can be punished for it and it will spoil everything that i have worked for all my life and I hope you understand. In fact I believe that God brought us together for a purpose and this might be the start because it take two to make a tangle three is crowd.
