Open scam accusations Use the service's topic to tell why you consider them scam, or open your own topic in the service discussion Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: Cyrus on September 14, 2014, 04:41:38 PM BTW, here's the Scam Accusations forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: bomb177 on September 14, 2014, 05:56:49 PM Don't trust any user here, even if he is an Hero member...
Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: oceans on September 14, 2014, 10:20:06 PM You can post in the scam accusations forum what your findings are and any proof you have which will help with your case when mentioning the said person who scammed you. I do know staff can not deal with any kind of scam reports but it can make people more aware.
Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: cookiemonsterwhat on September 15, 2014, 02:58:54 AM You can make public awareness for newbies to learn from the mistake.
Like similar on how I did here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=768276.0 Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: bitschool on September 15, 2014, 10:28:51 AM I'm just arrived and I found that in this forum there are several scammers, even high ranked, I won't trust anyone here...

The member rank doesn't show the trustworthiness at all. It simply shows how long the account has been created long time ago and how active the account has been. Plus, bitcointalk accounts are actively bought and sold for bitcoin. Title: Re: How to report possible scammers?

You should trust people with trust. That is, most people on DefaultTrust, and other that have at least a little trust rating/feedback. Check that he has never attempted to scam before, and watch out for obvious stuff (the lending section). Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: cubanos on September 16, 2014, 11:45:21 AM You can post your report here. That way we can also be warned.
Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: hilariousandco on September 16, 2014, 12:38:06 PM They shouldn't be posted here. Just leave appropriate feedback and/or make a scam accusation thread in the Scam Accusation forum.

Thanks. Because of bitcoin's anonymity, and government free features, if you are having some problems with it, you are alone. Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: Scamalert on September 18, 2014, 07:25:08 AM Best thing is to mark the thread with big red:
SCAM So others don't get scammed as well, also leave negative feedback. Even though you are not on default trust, a smart person will look at the untrusted feedback as well, since only a small group of people have default trust. Title: Re: How to report possible scammers? Post by: David Latapie on September 19, 2014, 08:18:42 PM Thank you everyone for your answers.
