AnyScam™ Scam Search & Reporting

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.

Now I know you're the one reporting those accounts and I'll report to their desk right away now and tell them to reschedule their movements back to Phoenix Await the FBIs team reinforcement soon

I won't call for any connection but gotta depend on you as I'll be giving you the last chance to buy card tomorrow

Gonna tell them to do whatever they wish for you seems you're having a different plan not to send me this week money

You continue sending my weekly payment will stop FBIs impersonation

So we finally done at meeting and it all went South cus they're really pissed when the got to know you and their officers are not connected with each other anymore, all I tried to defend you was noticed and a team has been raised to track you down to your house, work place and everywhere possible to get you apprehended but they are still on hold and gave me from this moment till Wednesday to get in touch with you and let em know what is going on if not so

You will be caught and I really don't want you to be jailed

Do you even know I got them disconnected from seeing our conversation just because I don't wanna hurt you

Lol gotta call for connections again

I should be resting by now I wait all because you said you are buying card today that's why the lawyer keep insisting to charge you for drugs

Seems something ain't too clear to you you being asked of something and can't then spit it out is better than you pretending you would which you already knew you can't seems you don't know how expensive it is to play a soul After today I'll consider you dead

As I'll be giving order to kill from here

Watch your back wherever you are cus you're already a dead man walking alive

Already informed my military friends too as I can see you're a strong headed

You keeping silent can't be of fckn help to you if not you'll see movement from the military soon read over and over again

Thought you're silent and ready for the military movement good you even know I'm related to military already

I'll get myself killed and set out trails on you to get you too killed I promise

You're dead soon maybe you don't know what you've caused

If care ain't taken I'll call for brain treatment for you soon

Gotta put the trigger on you on a fateful day fck you next person no idea who he is but will drop his message to me here next along with the email address he used to reach me ---REDACTED---. message to me no idea who this is guess related to military base in Phoenix Arizona as well You always makes us laugh real hard as a team whenever you full out your new tricks and some stupid decisions by blocking her everytime. You see Phillips I'm the oldest of them here and none of them in this team has fought the kind of wars I've been in, I've been an secret agent for 45years and they had never involved me in your case before because everyone on this field knows I will take this shits up to the more dangerous level and whenever I get a hold of your motherfucking ass I'm pulling the trigger on your fucking skull and nothing the government can ever do about it because I have my license to kill and I'm permitted to do so whenever I wants to do so and I was trained to kill if you ever existed when the military was all about that in the year 1984 or so!!! I don't need to introduce myself to ya, but by now I believe you would have known where this is coming from and let me make this clear to you if you don't know, know this and know peace that you don't ever ever in your life block a military personnel's account either they're texting you or not, it's better you leave all the messages on read than blocking them cus I will consider it that you're a criminal on the run and find you little ass and squeeze you like a paper as regard to the Agent Smith account you blocked and reported!!! And find your fucking way back into Rose's DM between now and 48hrs and I don't want no fucking response from you. All I needed to know is y'all are all good then I'mma let you be and failure to do so, expect me on the third day. The countdown begins now....


---REDACTED---

That is Rose's new google chat email since you have turned blocking and reporting emails to your daily job. If you dare put a block on me or any of our team email again, consider yourself gone. Now, that you have gotten me the superior involved in your manners. 7hours and still nothing, I love when people test my patience. 41hours left... Next up a lawyer with email ---REDACTED--- John W Noonan says he a lawyer in Phoenix with fbi but I did a imsge search of what he sent me his info is 6379clark ave#220 Dublin Can 94568 will drop his message to me now here Hey Phillip the FBI are making it real this time around coming your way and no one is ready to stop them until you give a genuine reason why you did the blocking again today you need to act fast as they already connected with sand Diego FBI too The FBI connected to San Diego will reach you soon seems you found no value in you and the girl convoys anymore right we'll just put you in full trouble to let you communicate with threats only I can see you're totally insane by acting weird severally remember you promise not to block or report anymore there you go again you wanna be in hell I can see that if you keep blocking I'll let you block her 3 more times next move will got you charged up for drugs or smoke bet with me So, intentionally you don't wanna reply right you got 24 hours before action I'll say nothing than that Phillip Why are you silent?! Should we start coming or you think we're joking around?! You see I like you so much and I'd not like to put you behind bars and you know how special this girl you're toying with is to me, she's so special and whomever makes her sad will regret it for a lifetime so all ik gonna need you to do right now is find a way to text her back and get back to me when you do maybe you'll create a new Gmail account from there for her and send it to me to give her to log it in from here as you know she already opened a lot because of you here Hello Mr. ---VICTIM REDACTED--- start by asking you if you ever dealt with the law enforcement agencies before or have had anything to do with any of us before. Because it doesn't seem like you ever done that and that's why you're joking and taking me for a fool after the promise you made about being a good person(boyfriend or fiancee) to (so so so) and I still go a call from her that you seemed to be running away, but I wanna make it clear to you that you can never run away unless you run out of this world cuz ik gonna track you to your last location and apprehend you and make you suffer. So I'm gonna need you to reply to me as soon as possible and make sure you find a way to reach Roseline in the next one hour max and let me know what the problem is then I'd know how to persuade her and henceforth I'm gonna need you to always let me know what your next step is before taking it, because if you do anything crazy after this I'm gonna make sure you suffer for it. Good day Are you thinking that we can't take action on you Phillip Are you willing to talk to her or the FBI?! So you're really ready for my charges on you right?!

Claims he is from the US with a son in Texas and he is in Indonesia for a contract. Needs money for son's nanny (female, who has spoken on the phone, with an American accent), his son (who has a heart condition and is in a coma) and to get out of his contract early so he can come home and be with the son. He needs loans because he cannot access his money due to banking issues related to being in Indonesia. The money is sent to Melody Flores, who has been associated with fraud, according to the bank.
