Update Scammer List In Fs Section

[Owens]

Unfortunately, I've been scammed recently from the WTB section. It wasn't much money but still it doesnt make it right.

I've noticed the list of 'bad traders' is very out dated (last updated 2007).

Can we please get a pinned open thread going so people like me can post collected details about scammers? I'm sure there has been more incidents in this time.

The thread creation date isn't the last updated date for the thread.

I updated it late last year actually with another person.

So as people let us know, with actual proof, then it gets updated.

Most of the time people have no proof, so we can't update it.

Sorry I wasnt aware of that, what type of proof is needed?

Proof that you've actually been scammed. Unfortunately a lot of people 'say' they have been scammed but digging into it, that's not the case and goods turn up etc. So it's not an open slanging match based on he said/she said.

copies of PMs, bank transfers, the user in question (we do some checking/question asking of ourselves) etc etc.

basically - everything you have.
