RSN™ Commentary: Reporting Fakes To Facebook Is A Waste Of Time?
What Good Does Reporting Fakes To Facebook Do?
For each one that we shut down, another pops up right?
Yes, indeed.
So why does it matter?
If you think like that you are being defeatist from the get-go. You are overlooking the real reasons for things and focusing on your own disillusionment and disappointment.
Why do we take down as many fake profiles as we can?
Because it disrupts the connection the scammer has to new prospect victims they were grooming!
A victim is connected to a fake profile and identity. We want to disrupt that food chain as fast as we can – hopefully before they can move the victim to Google Hangouts or another social media.
It is not that we care about the Fake profile, there are 400 million of them on Facebook. It is that we care about rescuing other victims. At least taking away the fake profile will give some of them pause and they will ask the scammer hard questions. Some percentage will back away at that point.
We Can’t Get Them All, But We Can Get Some. And Of Course The Same Applies To Other Social Media As Well!
What if someone had done that for you while you were in the early stages of your scam?
Would you say that it was worth it if YOU were not scammed?
We cannot save everybody, but if YOU help we can save more!
That is all we try to do by reporting Facebook Fakes. A small battle in a bigger war.
Each person reading this has a choice to make. You are either part of the solution, or you are part of the problem.
What will you choose?

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.

Hi Everyone,
please be aware if you are contacted by a FaceBook user with Name Acosta Peterson, Sergeant and probably deployed but always from Luisville Kentucky US. He is a scammer and every couple of weeks a new account pops up under the same name.
The same goes also for a Jack (Christopher) Parker, Sergeant at US Soldiers /Sergeant at U.S. Army War College currently in Austin TX am from Boston MA
Thank you SCARS team for giving me the opportunity to feel that I can have some kind of control and support or at least that I can find a little comfort, that by reporting I might save another victim from this emotional violation. FYI I am still being harassed by that scammers although I made all the required actions. I hope that the service members in the picture will be notified asap. It really makes me so angry seeing an innocent person’s picture/identity being misused in such a dreadful way.
I’ve told my Story And given u pics. I’d love to know who really scammed me. I just want closure. old.
Sadly there is no closure for scam victims. You simply have to do your best to recover. It takes more than a year for most, and over 4 years to recover financially. But you can get through this.
