SCARS™ Campaign: How To #ActAgainstScams

Today The Internet Is Overrun With Scammers!

Scammers of every possible nationality, scamming with every imaginable type of fraud! They have spread from Africa and Russia to the four corners of the globe.

Just two years ago hardly anything was being done to stop them. Scams were allowed to spread almost unchecked with only token arrests being made.

However, today is a different story. Over 21,000 scammers were arrested in 2018 alone! Scammers are digging in and no longer feel as confident that they are untouchable since the U.S. and other countries are now holding them accountable wherever they live!

More needs to be done though. Much more!

SCARS #ActAgainstScam Campaign

The SCARS #ActAgainstScams Campaign is a way to help you stay focused on what really matters in the fight against scammers.

Constantly displaying photos does not matter except to help victims confirm what they already know. Posting scammers on websites and social media does almost nothing either.

There are ONLY two things that will bring about change:

Effective Reporting
Effective Advocacy

In the case of Effective Reporting, we have been making the case for years that the way to report scammers effectively is the Reporting Trident

SCARS-Reporting-Trident

Effective Reporting

To effectively report scammers you must do THREE things every time!

1. Report the crime to your Local Police if there is Money Lost!
2. Report the scammer to your National Police or FBI (www.IC3.gov)
3. Report every scammer on www.Anyscam.com

Optionally: Join our SCARS™ Anti-Scam Army™ to report them to Facebook too! www.facebook.com/groups/RSN.Army

Effective Advocacy

SCARS is aggressively working to change the situation worldwide. We are appearing and meeting around the world with technology industry giants, we are meeting with law enforcement and governments!

SCARS is already partnered or affiliated with the United States Government, the European Union’s Council of Europe, the Russian Government, the Chinese Government and more. Working on your behalf to change the laws and treaties to allow better enforcment and to eliminate the environment that allows scammers to thrive. But we are doing it without being in the pocket of Facebook like other advocates!

We will continue to do our part but are you doing yours?

We Need You To Do Two Things Right Now!

Report every scammer!
Use the #ActAgainstScams hashtag in your comments and posts relating to scams and scammers! Tie everything together with a simple mechanism to show the world how much we all care!

Will You Do It?

You can make a difference and it is not hard, just do these two things and you will make a huge difference in scamming!

We hope you will!

Optionally, you are also welcome to join SCARS as a member for FREE – visit www.AgainstScams.org to join!

Stay Safe Out There!

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|CDN™ Cybercriminal Data Network – 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.
