# Tracking payments sent to scammers, and what they do with the money

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-12)

I am interested in tracking payments sent to [known scammers](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126552.0), and tracing where that money goes.

Is there any website that compiles this information and shares it with others?
