Title: Report Ripple Scam Address
Post by: alphaboon on October 18, 2019, 01:03:45 AM
I found a scammer using Ripple r3j85BBipbyBG9SzEHGC42TmvaRveQy1gg to collect his scam earnings.
Is there any web site or authority that I can report this too so that fewer ppl get scammed?

I suggest you justify your accusations instead of just posting that THIS and THAT is a scammer. etc.

Please elaborate further on what you have discovered/stumbled upon.

P.S. You could post in the Scam Accusations Thread here. Follow the report format.

Do not repost it there, just move the current thread to there and everything will be fine. Update the thread with this format:

Code:
[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Scammers Profile Link: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Reference Link: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Amount Scammed: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Payment Method: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Proof of Payment: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]PM/Chat Logs: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Additional Notes: [/color][/b]

without any proof, the DT team members will not be able to tag the suspected scammer.

This one, but you have to supplement your accusations with screenshots or better yet conversations. You also need to follow patterns when reporting.

Thanks for the warning, community members should really work together to bring those scammers from the wild so that they can be stop and that there will be no more victims, specially members around.

Move the topic to "Scam Accusations", post in the proper format, like @Javi_Anibarro has said in their post.

Provide any other details that you have about this address. Where you got it from, when you got it, was it in an email or website? Those who know about blockchain forensics may be able to find the source of the address, which wallet it is coming from and if it just an exchange/casino wallet, which is often the case with money laundering.
