New Scammer Anti-Scam Sites?
It appears that scammers are now creating Anti-scam websites too!
Globally, there are about 5 leading anti-scam websites, such as ours. However, recently, we have seen new anti-scams sites created that just seem to be copies of each other, or copies of other anti-scammer websites.
While we are not sure of each, beware of anti-scam websites that have been around for a short period of time, and just seem to be copies of other websites! It is for this reason we block all of Africa (so they can’t see what we post or copy it).
Here are a couple of such questionable websites (sorry we don’t want to link to them):
- scammer-on.blogspot.com
- scammersoff.com
When you look at these sites, you will see that they are written in typical Scammer Grammar.
It appears that the motive may be to abandon known scammer profiles, to convince new victims in some way. This is not yet clear how they will use these, but it seems clear it is part of a scam ploy.
What we also find very interesting, is the amount of detail about specific fake profile/scammers, leading us to believe they would only know this if they were in fact, the scammer. Why do we say this? Because after almost 20 years of watching and catching scammers, it’s impossible to monitor more than a handful of sites without you helping to report them. So no one site can accumulate some of the info on sites like we see without inside knowledge. We receive reports from several dating websites of the scammers they have found as well, and we know we are the only anti-scam site that has that mechanism in place. So we know what is possible, and what is not.
While we can not categorically state that these sites are created or run by scammers (lawyers won’t let us), they seem suspect, and you should exercise care.
If you find other suspect websites like these, please list them in the comments for this page?

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
SCARS Institute articles examine different aspects of the scam victim experience, as well as those who may have been secondary victims. This work focuses on understanding victimization through the science of victimology, including common psychological and behavioral responses. The purpose is to help victims and survivors understand why these crimes occurred, reduce shame and self-blame, strengthen recovery programs and victim opportunities, and lower the risk of future victimization.
At times, these discussions may sound uncomfortable, overwhelming, or may be mistaken for blame. They are not. Scam victims are never blamed. Our goal is to explain the mechanisms of deception and the human responses that scammers exploit, and the processes that occur after the scam ends, so victims can better understand what happened to them and why it felt convincing at the time, and what the path looks like going forward.
Articles that address the psychology, neurology, physiology, and other characteristics of scams and the victim experience recognize that all people share cognitive and emotional traits that can be manipulated under the right conditions. These characteristics are not flaws. They are normal human functions that criminals deliberately exploit. Victims typically have little awareness of these mechanisms while a scam is unfolding and a very limited ability to control them. Awareness often comes only after the harm has occurred.
By explaining these processes, these articles help victims make sense of their experiences, understand common post-scam reactions, and identify ways to protect themselves moving forward. This knowledge supports recovery by replacing confusion and self-blame with clarity, context, and self-compassion.
Additional educational material on these topics is available at ScamPsychology.org – ScamsNOW.com and other SCARS Institute websites.

Muenzer is the alias of a German gentleman I have known for at least 8 years .He used to own the defunct site Scamalert4U. The site is in no way fake, he is actually completely honest and dedicated to fight scams. He did have some personal issues with me, which destroyed our friendship however fair’s fair, I need to speak up about it. Soulcatcher.eu is not run by scammers and neither are his other sites. You people are very unprofessional verging on ignorant.
