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 had some good memories after reading through your mail and I pray God gives us the ability to
share opinions with open mind, I believe If we can share more things together, we can get closer faster
and perhaps we can even chat more often.
I am really open for serious and honest relationship,
life has been very lonely to me and i need a partner to be called my wife, because
after realizing that maybe living a luxurious life and making all the money on earth does not give one
all the necessary happiness in life, I now resolved to myself that my joy would only be completed
when I find a faithful and caring partner like you, who would make my mind have full peace and
I am very glad to have met you, i believe i have met the right partner at the right time,
who has the potential of fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence to stand for who i am and believe.
To me, trust and honesty is my number one watch word, I strongly believe in that.
I hope, we will be good to each other, stand for the future that awaits us as couples,
because what matters to me is finding true love and happiness, no matter any religion ,culture and racial background we had.
I want to let you know that am very glad to have established good relationship with you now,
I want to confide in you and you in me, one mind, one heart and friendship in truth,
definitely we will have a limitless relationship. Let’s wake up to reality and be open to each other,
share our life experiences, relationships, goals, dreams and interests.
Please do not hesitate in sharing about yourself with me, because I am open to let out anything you wish to know.
I think I will stop for now and I would like us to keep in constant communication by chat,
which I think is a faster means of knowing each other more better,
Please try as much as possible to have the LINE so we can chat there more often.
I hope to hear from you soon
I always believe good people will always be surrounded by the reflection of good things,
which is the Law of Attraction".
Your commitment to this relationship means a lot to me...
Take care, be happy and have a wonderful weekend week.
I love you.
