people are always in to big of a rush to do deals on hf and its why scamming happens more times then not

We had a member create a similar service and naturally, people around here abused it to harass other members.

We are not saying the site is a bad idea, we are saying it wont work for THIS site.
Further you have had numerous members who have seen this same thing happen numerous times and you are debating with us it wont be the case this time.

We are telling you this so you avoid problems with staff here.  The last member lost their account if I am not mistaken.

If everyone thinks like him (like an idiot) the site will not work :(



Except that website is serious.
We are wary of every warning.

You can use this service for any type of scam on eBay etc.

Certainly I shared it on HF, but this is not meant to be synchronized.
The "deal disput" category does that very well.
That's why if you get scammed on categories out of HF must / can report a scammer.

We check ALL report.
We often check our database. We will also provide email replies to all those who ask to no longer be in by asking for accurate and real evidence.
We spend at least 10 minutes per report to check it.
Thank you for your understanding, and also why not post a maximum of scammers on the site!

1. You say your website is multi-purpose. You offer look up based on an username but what if it's a common username, wouldn't it lead to false-positives?
   


2. Your result messages are inverted. I'm doing a scammer look up and it says 'positive', this should mean that the person's a scammer, right?
   


3. Using reCaptcha for a scammer lookup? Plain annoying. You can find better captcha solutions.
   


4. Sites with a similar concept exist, but they are mostly based on a SPECIFIC area of interest. Having a multi-purpose scammer list won't be nearly as effective as catering to a certain niche/community will, ever. Good examples are https://rep.tf/ and https://steamrep.com. You see how these sites are useful to Steam users or TF2 players, but who's the target audience for your site?  
   


5. Data. Your lookup is way too simple. I type a word and it says "go deal with him" or "person's a scammer" but the site does not provide any PROOF whatsoever for the result.
   


6. Your site doesn't have any social media profiles, reputation is nonexistent. I know it's a startup but you'll eventually need to focus on building a certain reputation if you plan to succeed with this project of yours.
   


7. Staff (Admins/Mods)? One person can't handle a broad, multi-purpose large database of scammers.
