[Will be Updated] 'Database' of Fraudulent Users, Scammers, and Impostors

Thing is, usually when scammers are found, they are banned for a really long time. Check bans.php. Almost everyone's bans end next year that scammed.

Not always true. They ARE banned when evidence is on site, aka all deals done via PM and so on, but a lot of people get away with it by doing the deal offsite.

This is just a rough number that I'm pulling out of no where, but I'd say maybe 25% of scammers here, if that, actually get banned. A lot of people get away since the proof, even though it may be legitimate, is off site. This is just another line of defense if you will to prevent a lot of scammers from 'striking' multiple times.
I guess your right, I am not trying to bring down this thread, I am encouraging it and thanking you for making it. Hopefully you will keep it updated :)

I know you aren't, any feedback is encouraged.

Thanks.
Very smart now people don't have to make thread 😑
[email protected] is an imposter and is not me, beware.

Nor did I say you were, I was only pointing out that fact because many people think the same thing.

I know, I sort of spoke without thinking fully.

Yeah, what else you can do is PM some big sellers on the forum if they have any imposters, that may help as well 😁
Another nice thread...thanks for starting this, hopefully we have less scams on HF

People should still make a thread so they can try to work things out, only when there is indisputable proof that a scam has taken place and the scammer will not return the money should someone PM me and link me or Necrotoxin to the thread.

It's encouraged you try to solve all scams yourself before reporting them here.

Edit: My Text document contains about 15 names and reasons as of right now, I need to leave again for a bit, but when I return I'll add about 10 more then update the OP. Thanks for all the PM's so far.
Nice thread, it'd be cool to also have a list of members that have scam reports on them
great thread, should be stickied for future reference.

Lol do you have any idea how long it would take to compile such a list? There's 173 (as of 2 days ago) pages of scam reports.
Sorry about the delay guys, internet company fucked me over. I'm finally up and running again in my new place, completely moved in, blah blah blah. Will be updating this today.

Again sorry for delays.
