How do you report a potential scammer?

[phillyforager]

Hi All,

The following user appears to be attempting to lure me into a scam: jamesmarcush3

He just sent me a message telling me to email his friend about a jacket that he is selling. It looks like a classic forum scam.

Is there any mechanism for reporting such behavior?

Thanks

There’s a Fraudsters thread over in B/S/T. Although, I’m not sure of forum etiquette whereby someone attempts to lure you into a scam versus actually scamming you. In these scenarios I’d send a pm to a moderator to look into and/or delete the users account. Most people here are honest but personally I would only buy from someone who I recognize as a regular contributor to the forum.

Just pm your friendly neighbourhood mod (me), or Giles. I’ll go and take a look.

Dealt with and made a post in the Fraudsters thread as a general warning.

To reiterate, if anyone is concerned about potential scams please let us know.

Neither the forum as an entity, nor any of the Iron Heart companies can be held responsible for money or goods lost to scammers or other dishonest behaviour, via the marketplace.

We will of course do what we can to prevent people using the forum as a place to attempt fraud or perpetrate scams. We are reliant on tips to be able to that effectively.

Forgot to post this earlier… but thanks so much for handling this extremely quickly!
