Anyone with a profile with a phone number should be reported by the button under their profile from the home page, as every report done this way is reviewed.
This is good to know because, for a while, I was reporting all the obvious fakes and scams to the collarmefakes site - but I eventually gave up as there just was one little ole me and a million scammers - and I couldn't keep it up.
It's good to know there's a team looking at the reports. Maybe I'll go back to reporting 'em when I see 'em.
BTW, I find it very odd that there are so many people paying (sometimes more than once) and THEN asking if it's a scam.
Seems backward, to me.
I'm in a tricky place here. I will not comment on another site, but will say that isn't a part of the site here and never has been. Reporting anywhere but here is more like a warning that we would consider blacklisting if it were on site. Everyone posting a warning would have no accountability basically and you would be taking a strangers word for what to look out for. That may be helpful at times, but really, adults should be able to determine what they are willing to involve themselves in. Adults asking people to protect them might try to sort this out for themselves. If it sounds too good to be true, well, you know the rest.
Of course you will find good people trying to warn others and they may find what ought to be obvious to most, but there have been wonderful site users here that were put on that list because they refused to do something, someone else wanted. They were slandered and had to find a way to protect themselves from what was falsely said about them.
When people take it upon themselves to save others and go around what we can actually do here, it becomes a mess and innocent people could be harmed. Many have reported people for things that constantly bog down Support because in their opinion, whatever was done shouldn't be allowed. We get a lot of revenge or false reports.
One person put in around five hundred reports a day. Another put in 29,000 reports in one day. Some report people because they didn't answer their cmail within half an hour and the person was on site. (I'm guilty of far more!) A great many report someone illegal or underage because they were rejected. Some claim someone is harassing them and want them taken off the site, yet they are engaging in a back and forth dispute. We are not law enforcement or mediators.
So, you see we are trying according to me, a stranger. Trust me Baby!  You can send all gifts to a children's hospital.
