All I know is that in etherscan.io you can check comments on that scanner and if there is a comment that the address is a scam. I don't know if there is an anti scam addresses there is in crypto.

Yes etherscan let users to give comment freely, so I think it is not good reference to find scammers as people may comment something bad for any address without any proofs. This the main problem with such features, a hacker address can be given positive comments as well. So I think it is not good to rely on comments only.
Thats the disadvantage with these kind of features on where even non-scammers would be potentially be feedback out negatively if someone intend to do so without
having any proofs which he would be falsely misinterpretation by the community.So, it wont really be a reliable thing to be depend on.Did try to look
that anti-scam address site but its just senseless actually.

I don't find any use of listing scam addresses since its not so hard to create a new address. Instead of listing scam addresses we should have a list of scam projects ,coins and websites.
It would be more beneficial since people often fall for scam projects and invest in scam coins to earn more profits.
I concur. Honestly, how long does it take to create a new address? Also, comments can also be used to screw a perfectly legal address which would achieve the complete opposite here.

The list of scam projects continues to increase with time especially from the prolonged bear market in recent times which is why a list of these projects would be more beneficial overall.
I call it misplaced priority, the inventor actually tried to have come up with such idea, if not because I am reading your comment, I never thought of it too that address is not the problem here but the project, addresses are too long for people to cram in their head and take note of anytime they see one, but it would be easier to easily point out a project name, coin and website when we see one.

In fact the profile of such scammers too need to be broadcast and displayed for disgraced, although I learnt that many of them use fake pictures and profiles they pick from the internet, I guess this is the more reason too why a lot of us are scared of KYC.

Does any of you know a website for reporting scammers addresses?

I've found this one, etherscam.net, it's quite basic tho.
Oh great, this info will be quite useful, but is it a site for reporting scammers so that new investor can stay clear of them or a site that will take action against scammers, because what we really need now is a system that will take actions against scammers, we could post all the list of scammers in the whole wide world on a site but it still doesn’t stop people from getting scammed because not many people will be aware of such site, I understand that prevention is better than cure, but this type of prevention must have first thought someone lessons, but we need to do more to see how scammers will not benefit again from investors.
