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.

Instagram Username: @my_shoes.inn
Profile Name: my_shoes.inn
Contact Number Mentioned on Profile: ---REDACTED---
Platform Used: Instagram
The above Instagram page is operating as an online shoe seller. The page advertised and confirmed a specific pair of shoes but delivered a different product. After delivery, the seller initially promised return/refund but later stopped responding and has not provided any resolution. This appears to be intentional misrepresentation and cheating.

This person is supposedly from Kyiv, Ukraine. Not the usual scammer so BEWARE.
Met her on a dating site. To filter out the usual scammers I immediately asked for a video chat that happened on the first day through telegram, she looked real and we started chatting on a daily basis and did a few more video chats during 2 months. We agreed for her to come visit me. She started to ask for money, first to issue a passport, a suitcase, bus tickets to Poland, then hotel in Poland. I booked and paid the flight tickets myself directly on the air flight company since it was a larger amount. On the day she was travelling by bus out of Ukraine to Poland to take flight she came with urgent message saying that at the Polish border they were asking her for proof that she was able to sustain herself during her stay in Poland. I checked online and it is common procedure so I sent her the money. After tha…

They booked my flight so why the fuck are you telling me I'm not coming
Because your lawyer said we had to pay $4300 before anything could happen babe. Didn’t you read the email? I’m sure they’re going to cancel your flight because I can’t pay the money
And they’re gonna probably stop your package from being shipped too
I tracked the package and it's on the way so what are you talking about
There is so much more that I wished I could put on here but it won’t allow me to. I’ve been scammed big time for hundreds of thousands of dollars and they took everything.
