They have spread from Africa and Russia to the four corners of the globe. Just two years ago hardly anything was being done to stop them. Scams were allowed to spread almost unchecked with only token arrests being made. However, today is a different story. Over 21,000 scammers were arrested in 2018 alone! Scammers are digging in and no longer feel as confident that they are untouchable since the U.S. and other countries are now holding them accountable wherever they live! **More needs to be done though. Much more!** ## **SCARS #ActAgainstScam Campaign** The SCARS #ActAgainstScams Campaign is a way to help you stay focused on what really matters in the fight against scammers. Constantly displaying photos does not matter except to help victims confirm what they already know. Posting scammers on websites and social media does almost nothing either. ### There are ONLY two things that will bring about change: - **Effective Reporting** - **Effective Advocacy** In the case of Effective Reporting, we have been making the case for years that the way to report scammers effectively is the Reporting Trident SCARS-Reporting-Trident ## Effective Reporting To effectively report scammers you must do THREE things every time! 1. 1. Report the crime to your **Local Police** if there is Money Lost! 2. 2. Report the scammer to your **National Police** or **FBI** ([www.IC3.gov](http://www.IC3.gov)) 3. 3. Report every scammer on [www.Anyscam.com](http://www.Anyscam.com) Optionally: Join our SCARS™ Anti-Scam Army™ to report them to Facebook too! [www.facebook.com/groups/RSN.Army](http://www.facebook.com/groups/RSN.Army) ## **Effective Advocacy** SCARS is aggressively working to change the situation worldwide.

Working on your behalf to change the laws and treaties to allow better enforcment and to eliminate the environment that allows scammers to thrive. But we are doing it without being in the pocket of Facebook like other advocates! We will continue to do our part but are you doing yours? ## **We Need You To Do Two Things Right Now!** - **Report every scammer!** - **Use the #ActAgainstScams hashtag** in your comments and posts relating to scams and scammers!
