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

I HAVE HAD 2 RUN-INS WITHE ROMANTIC SCAMMERS, WHAT IS THE MILITARY DOING ABOUT IT. NEITHER ONE ASKED ANY PERSONAL QUESTIONS OR FOR MONEY……
1. Major General McDaniel James
2. David Rico
What should the military do about it? Bomb them? This is a matter for law enforcement, and as you can see law enforcement has been very active this year.
I want to know about this person name is James Handy from Army is this person Scam we been talk him everyday
That is a well known fake name.
I am corresponding with Steve Young US Army Afghanistan- very romantic and convincing . Hasn’t requested any money? I am very suspicious
This is very simple. Stop talking to strangers online. You are being scammed even if they have not asked for money!
he has 2 email addresses… cuteasarosescott@gmail.com and scottbolhuis01@gmail.com
Report them properly
I’ve had a captain Scott Bolhuis contact me first on messenger. we then went to hangouts. he says he’s on a mission in Nigeria and sent me names of people to send money to . mercy oke is one. Phyllis salzgabar is another
I got scammed by an army general named James Martins Andrew,he is Afghanistan,he asked for money to paying the customs in order to send me a luggage with important documents and money,he has a false profile picture
I need to know if they are having a mission out it Nigeria. And if Frederick spear is really in the US army. I have a friend who is head over heals for this man and us sending money to him for his leave 4800 dollars. I need to help her.
The U.S. Military is everywhere, but NO soldier is going to contact you in the field. Of course it is a SCAM!
I need to know if Robert Owen is a real general still just Afghanistan. He has been sending me all sorts of messages & finally asked me for money.
Could please help me check a person that is on facebook with the name Arnold Evans. He claims to be a general of US Army in mission in Afghanistan. He asked me friendship showin gimmediately very lovely and romantic. I’m not interested in that at all so he stolpped writing to me, but his profile doesn’t convince me.
Hi,
