I suggest having a section in the Marketplace called SCAMS
or SCAMMMERS and let members post up who scammed them and a brief description of what happened to warn other people and let people check the section before they trad. buy or sell.

I don't know if this has already been suggested, sorry if it has.

there is already a section called "Avoid Scams". If there is a section called Scams I don't think anyone will wanna read anything in there cuz it's pretty much saying "post your scams here". I honestly think that the reason we post up the experience of being scammed is to PREVENT future scams, eventually. This post, for example, could be in the Avoid Scams section as well.

I know there is a section called AVOID SCAMS

but a SCAMMERS section would be different. It could list the offenders and a brief description.
I think many people will read it to double check they are not dealing with a scammer.
This would very much be used to help other ppl avoid being scammed instead of just keepign it to yourself and letting the same thing happen to others.

it would be a very specific section that posts a profile of the scammer and lets ppl review it

great suggestion.. however, it does not require a new section to do this.

let's start what you suggested in this thread...

list the offenders and a brief description.
