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 ‘Halo Effect‘. 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.

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 visit study,AgainstScams.org To add photos that you have collected from these criminals to our work visit www.AnyScam.com
