As stated, feel free to report any suspicious sales. We can get people onto it to investigate and if needed, we can either close the sale, delete it, or move it to the legal section (which we've done all 3 many times in the past, just look in the legal & unresolved sales section).

Personal informations, not crap infos. |
While I agree that scammers are criminals and should be dealt with, a subforum like this would potentially open up the owners of this site to huge legal issues, it can also very easily be abused.
The hard part is figuring out who the scammers are as opposed to those who are making mistakes (sometimes it is very obvious, other times it is not).
Yes, scams are a big issue in this industry but some people here work with other forums and are great at PI work to be able to find the true scams. We do have some members here who are great at the PI work and their help has been enlisted several times in the past with possible scammers and we will continue to enlist them for as long as they're willing to help.
If you see something that is suspicious, do not hesitate to click the report post button and put as much information as you can in the report (I've seen some long reports so I don't think you need to worry about running out of room). If you don't see anything happening - don't assume we're OK with it. We need proof before we can take actions and each report is looked at by at least one mod / admin (usually more than one). Reports are also anonymous so the poster does not know who reported their post (they won't even know that their post has been reported). If we feel we need more information, we will PM the reporter for clarification.
