Introduction:BTCJam Scam is a
Scammer Index of BTC Jam users who have failed to pay back their loans.
The index contains two types of reports: Late and Defaulted.
Users can add a new scammer, add new reports for a listed scammer, or update information about scammers all through the site. No registration is required!
Update:SEO UpdateOne of the primary goals behind BTCJam Scam is to discourage BTCJam borrowers from defaulting by
public shaming. The newest updates to the site dramatically increase the SEO of the site, resulting in higher search engine rankings. This means that even common searches for the legal names of the scammers will likely result in our reports showing on the first page of results.
This is critical. While there might be legal and financial repercussions to scamming on BTCJam, this new reporting mechanism offered by
BTCJam Scam can have lasting impacts on the scammers ability to do other business. Potential employers, friends, family, and of course potential victims might all learn the true nature of the individual.
Now, some of the secondary goals of
BTCJam Scam also benefit from better SEO. For example, another goal of
BTCJam Scam is to assist with Debt Collection (regardless of who is doing the collection).
BTCJam Scam allows us, as a community, to crowd-source identity research. So, easy searching on both the site, but also search engines will certainly assist with this.
And the most obvious, saving potential victims from being scammer. Even if they don't know of BTCJam, it's possible they will uncover the report from simply searching the contact details of the scammer.
Report Editing UpdateAnother addition (though this has been available for a while now) is that any user can update a report to add information that is currently missing. That is, the field must be currently empty. This allows us to all work together to uncover the identity and information on the various scammers who are listed.

Original Announcement Post:Hey Lenders,
For those of you who use BTCJam, I've put together a site that allows lenders to submit those who are failing to meet their payment obligations or have defaulted.
BTCJam Scam http://btcjamscam.comYou can submit your note information, as well as any information you can find on the Scammer. This allows public shaming and, with good SEO, should cause their scam to show up when people Google their real name (so long as you actually have their real name). It can also potentially stop others from getting scammed by the same user.
You can search by their Username, Real Name, Email, etc. Submitting a scammer is easy and the form provides a lot of built in identification fields (which are optional), it also allows you to provide an "offer" to the scammer for settling the debt.
We all know BTCJam can be great - but we need to protect ourselfs and impose steep penalties for defaulting.
Any questions, comments, or feedback, please do let me know!
Happy Loaning!
