SCARS Scammer Preferencing Study

SCARS is conducting a long-term study of the ways that impersonation criminals preference the photos they select. It is important to understand why scammers choose the photos they do. Remember that these criminals select a limited number of images to be used in their impersonations and why they choose them can help both in training AI to recognize these choices and also alert victims about them when they see them in profiles and contacts online.

For example, we have learned that scammers are victims of their own cognitive biases just like their victims. They tend to select images that reflect what they believe will be disarming and trustworthy. Photos with animals, for example, trigger an amygdala hijack in their victims. Photos of people doing normal things tend to communicate that the people in those photos are normal and trustworthy. But those same biases in the criminals also lead them to select images that represent what they hope to accomplish, such as wealth, if you know what to look for.

Every stolen photo on this site is a part of this scholarly study and contributes to the volume of knowledge we obtain from them. To learn more about the current SCARS research visitĀ study,AgainstScams.orgĀ To add photos that you have collected from these criminals to our work visitĀ www.AnyScam.com

Why Do Scammers Steal & Use Stolen Photos

Scammers steal photos of real people to use in romance scams and other scams primarily because it lends credibility and authenticity to their fabricated personas. By presenting themselves as someone with genuine photos and a seemingly real identity, scammers can quickly establish trust and rapport with their victims more effectively. These stolen images often depict attractive individuals, which can entice potential targets and make them more susceptible to manipulation – this is a result of a cognitive bias called the ā€˜Halo Effectā€˜. Moreover, using photos of real people adds a layer of complexity to the scam, making it harder for victims to detect the deception. Overall, incorporating genuine photos into their schemes enables scammers to exploit the emotions and vulnerabilities of their targets more effectively, increasing the likelihood of financial gain.

The face in the photo is a victim too - please leave them alone!

    With reference to dear Brian Lee. This name was adopted by Lola Hayes who her story goes was born in Atlanta and too up ‘adult’ modelling because she needed Money to help with cost of nursing her dying Mum. Her Mum has since passed but the scams continue by Lola Hayes in Accra, Ghana. Lola Hayed and Briana Lee are the same person. Be careful, don’t be fooled like me and respond the her requests for money with sympathy and cash! It cost me nearly Ā£3000 to find out that her promises are empty and she just wants money! She does not hold a USA passport nor did her “junkie Dad” (her description) leave her with 200 kgs of gold. Don’t be fooled by Lola or sympathise with her ‘plight’. Unfortunately she is just another Ghana scam artist who US customs don’t recognise nor any other legitimate Government agency. I know because I paid an independent private investigation company to find out! If you are unlucky enough to fall into her traps …. RUN! The phone number to watch out for is +233 26412 6633. She’s a very believable and cute scammer! BUT STILL A SCAMMER!

    It seems like allot of people including myself have fallen by the Briana Lee scammer. I got hooked and was promised things from her, I started helping her gather phones. My credit is shot , so if anybody is contacted by some using Rosemary M run away don,t walk. This person is working with a African male clamming to be her lawyer. wish I could turn back time. I have blocked this person but I wish to God the police would catch her.

    I went through the ringer with one calling itself Latifah Young first contact was on Twitter @latifayoung then over to hangouts where I’ve blocked another dozen. Said she lived in Toronto Canada even sent me a location that I sadly didn’t keep. She used the name Benedicter Ansery on Hangouts said it was her deceased Mother’s name. We chatted had what I thought were live camera sessions. I now realize they must have been stolen videos her phone ā€œbarelyā€ worked her laptop microphone was broken but refused my offer to send one.

    First approach for money was food requested $700. Second approach was to pay back a friend who if she didn’t pay would make her sell herself. Third approach was a bank link which seemed real enough United Bank Shares. Find out how to transfer her Fathers assets to her. Received a response from this email address contact@unitedbank.cc. Next was her fathers lawyer Golan.yusef@lawfirm.de. By now alarms are going off all over just received a ā€œmessageā€ that it would require around $938 in fees. Final one before this lawyer response showed up was to pay the police in Ghana so they could represent her at trial of kidnappers of her and her brother. She said that was where she was doing the modeling and cam shows put the people never paid her what she needed to pay the lawyer. So she left and they kept her phone and laptop which is her pictures and videos are all over the internet. Wow! I didn’t even ask how much I just blocked then she came back on Twitter to basically threaten to blackmail me with pictures I sent her. I’ve reported her information on anyscam.com will see what happens.

A Note About Labeling!

We often use the term ā€˜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 scamĀ 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
