RSN™ Special Report: Anti-Scam Censorship
Web Censorship or Support for Cybercriminals?
– – – – – – – – – – – –
The Government of the United Arab Emirates officially blocks access to Anyscam.com to prevent the reporting of scammers to the global community.
– – – – – – – – – – – –
Not even the People’s Republic of China blocks SCARS websites or Member Groups and they are the most paranoid on the planet. In fact, the Chinese Ministry of State Security has blessed the work of SCARS and collaborated this year on the arrest of more than 1,000 scammers inside of China. SCARS|CHINA was established in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China to aid in this work.
The UAE’s Blocking Of Anyscam.com Is A Perfect Example Of How National Governments Either Passively Or Actively Support Cybercrime!
We ask our followers to email the UAE Embassy in Washington D.C. (Click Here) and demand that they unblock Anyscam.com for the good of their own people. We will offer their police full access to the SCARS Anti-Scam Reporting Network real-time scammer feeds in return to aid them in apprehending cybercriminals in their own country that currently has hundreds of Nigerian scammers living and operating inside their borders.
Their Embassy’s website contact form is: https://www.uae-embassy.org/contact-embassy »
Please help support our global anti-scam efforts by demanding they allow access to ANYSCAM.com!
Sample Message For the UAE Embassy:
We demand that the United Arab Emirates STOP blocking the website www.Anyscam.com
The victims of scammers and cybercriminals need this website to report these cybercriminals to the whole world.
By blocking this and other anti-scam related websites, the United Arab Emirates is supporting online scammers and criminals around the world and enabling them to victimize your own citizens without fear of being reported effectively. Your actions enable cybercriminals and demonstrate that you are protecting them and working against your own people.
We demand that you unblock access www.Anyscam.com and that you have your national police agency work with the Society of Citizens Against Romance Scams [SCARS] (www.AgainstScams.org) to help protect your people and the victims of scams around the world. SCARS offers free data feeds of real-time scammer reports that your law enforcement agency can use to better identify cybercriminals operating inside your borders. We ask you to collaborate and take advantage of the resources that SCARS provides to help your own people remain safer online.

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
