Scam report example:

What happened::
I saw escrow.ms's lolipop thread 4 days ago and placed a order for 1000 lolipops. After I sent him payment, he just went offline and never came back. I think he's a big liar and a scam artist. Stay away from him.

Some Tips

• Search about the scammer first, use google to search for his/her details, other forum profiles, past scam reports and link to them in your scam report.
• Always try to provide chat/PM logs as a screenshot if it's possible.
• Use sites like https://imgur.com to upload images and https://pastebin.com or http://pastie.org for text based chat logs, although these may not be treated as good proof due to possible fakes.
• Make sure to provide as much as info you have, like the payment address, instant messenger ID's, etc.
• Make sure to leave negative feedback on the scammers profile and add your scam report as a reference link.
  

Use escrow and be safe.

Thanks Diamond, Updated OP.

Can you also add title format for the same.

Something like :

Type : Scam alert / Scam Accusation
Scammer name : Scamer profile name ( real name if known ) / company name ( company webiste url if known )
Scam status : Scammed / Tried to scam / Scamming / phishing
Amount : if amount involved

So title will be : Scam accusation : Pirateat40 ( Trendon Shavers ) Scammed 1XXXX BTC

You can come up with something better.

In general it will help people to go through title better and will get involved parties bad SEO.

Thanks

Nice suggestion but i doubt people will spend time on doing that when many of them don't even use this format. But i'll add this into main post.

Worth considering the scammer is using another person's identity. I've had a case where someone comes many months later and wants something removed on the forum due to it being the first result on Google (and allegedly, their identity was stolen by some type of online game griefer who thought it'd be funny to scam in their name).

Imagine if Joey was not Joey but Bob, and Bob dislikes Joey. Everyone was sending unpaid pizza deliveries to Joey who did nothing wrong (except piss Bob off).

What happened::
I saw [blah blah]. I think he's a big liar and a scam artist. Stay away from him.

I'd recommend to keep the "I think" stuff completely out of the report or at least separated from the actual facts.

[hostmaster]

I think if one understood for giving false blames, to protect innocent side, you can apply a ban for blamer side. This way we can block false positives.

[BitCoins06]

thx you for the report

[THeZoiD]

just want to know how to contact the bitcointalk dev??

Learn the kids that scam reports based on "notepad story" based on no screen proofs means nothing and that's just false speculating.
I am having great laugh daily by reading everyone reporting threads.
Peoples should start learn how to report a scammer,because things they have in mind (based on no proofs) its just bullshits.
When there is a scamm,you should provide all the evidence based on screenshots or your story is same as reading "yellow" news paper...

[Sydboy]

What happened with your case with Gurty man ?
when will Gurty get his 1000 bitcoins he is owed?
