    Never tired, but I think if you press the report button of the post you got scammed then someone will answer.

    Care to tell us who scammed you? At least someone else won't get scammed.

    have you seen the [​IMG] button on the upper right corner of the post?
    Just hit it and report.

    i don't think there is an official place to report scammers here at DP.
    most folks who have been scammed here start a thread like this,
    and tell all. try and have documentation, links etc ready to post
    to prove your claim.

    I think there should be a place.... "Scammer's Thread" or something.

    You can't use the report button for somebody who scammed you, afaik. The best you can do is give him a negative Itrader and/ or open a thread in GC ( If you wish to draw the attention of the public towards the matter)

    i think Shawn has already nixed that idea. something like this needs to go somewhere else.

    and you will draw attention to it. no one likes a thief.
