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:

  1. Local Police – ask them to take an “informational” police report – say you need it for your insurance
  2. Your National Police or FBI « www.IC3.gov »
  3. 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.

    Rebecca McDonald of Sonoma CA is using lanas face as a hook for her scam. 2021 you can find her on Facebook. Typical of these scams she has no profile pic or info. She did provide a fake DL F5090592. DM me if you want to see it.

      Yes for me she was Victorine Lucette student from Dover USA. I think a scam group is operating using photos. I blew her cover when she wouldn’t participate in verification photo. She / he wriggled and squirmed to try and avoid participating. So I blew her out.

      I came across her on SKOUT as Victorine Lucette claiming you be living in DOVER USA a French National needing funds for UNICAF student online courses. She wanted money mailing to Segbegnon Prosper Houndja in Benin via WU. She showers photos on correspondents but will not obey directional poses in order to supply proof photo on demand. She spins a fantastic story. She provides images of student cards too . Be careful

    I’ve been talking with a woman that goes by Jennifer Bailey. She’s claiming to b Lana Brooke after she had sent me a pic with that name at the bottom of the pic. So I done my research on her. Then I questioned her about all this. She has asked for money and personal info that I’ve never gave her and I keep refusing to give her. We talk daily and she claimed she’s n love with me but I no I’m being scammed from the firtrime she asked me for money.

She’s sent me a couple pictures and is constantly asking me for iTunes cards for music cuz she can’t get them there. I’ve. It sent her anything nor will I. The min she asked for that I new this was a scam and I’ve been playing along with her games. She’s also asked me for personal info witch I won’t give her. Someone need to stop this bitch from scamming others. I’d like to see her behind bars from all I’ve read about this thief.

      You are probably not even talking to a woman most of the time. Scammers work in teams. Why waste your time, report, block, and move on. Sorry, but you need to stop talking to strangers and believing in fairy tales.

      Lana’s photos being used by scammers and fraudsters are stolen anyway, they don’t ask for authorization. We display them for evidence purposes, since they were used in crimes.

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
