FAQ: How Do You Properly Report Scammers?
It is essential that law enforcement knows about scams & scammers, even though there is nothing (in most cases) that they can do.
Always report scams involving money lost or where you received money to:
- Local Police – ask them to take an “informational” police report – say you need it for your insurance
- Your National Police or FBI (www.IC3.gov)
- The Scars Worldwide Reporting Network HERE or on www.Anyscam.com
This helps your government understand the problem, and allows law enforcement to add scammers on watch lists worldwide.

A Note About Labeling!
We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!
A Question of Trust
At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.
Statement About Victim Blaming
Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and to not blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and to help victims avoid scams in the future. At times this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims, we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.
These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.
Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org

a mi me contacto con el nombre de adrian jacobs, viudo con un hijo, una madre con demencia en un asilo y su mejor amigo fallecido en combate, una historia fantastica llena de luces y sombras, sutilmente te va preguntando sin que te des cuenta. gracias a paginas como esta, uno puede encontrar que se encuentra reportada y denunciar y bloquear. afortunadamente no tuvo tiempo den pedir nada porque como van compartiendo fotos, puedes ir pasandole el scan hasta que salten las alarmas, pero son habiles porque se aseguran que los nombres que usan, realmente si pertenecen al ejercito y el lugar de donde dicen ser por si te da por verificar.
datos que te hacen dudar, tienen un horario de trabajo del cual te escriben, toda la conversacion son preguntas y en medio te van haciendo preguntas para calibrar tu estilo de vida, como por ejemplo
:te gustan las carteras de marcas? eres duena de tu oficina? que tan a menudo ves a tu familia? son altamente manipuladores de una forma muy estudiada…
We are happy that we could help! // ¡Nos alegra haber podido ayudar!
Bom dia essa semana me chamaram com uma das fotos dele sou do Brasil
Disse que precisava dos meus dados pra entregar um dinheiro pra mim aqui no Brasil e que logo depois ele viria com o filho disse que era viúvo.
Of course, that was a scam. If you did not send any money then just block them and stop talking to or listening to strangers.
Me contacto una persona con estás fotos en su perfil con el nombre de Allen knight Eric , me dijo que estaba en Siria y luego en yaman , tiene fotos mías y de mi familia, me pidió dinero para el envío de sus pertenencias , me dijo que enviaba cosas personales como su camiseta del ejército y fotos y algo de valor, que los enviaría a mi domicilio en Argentina ya que el no tenía familia en los estados unidos, y que era viudo
