Scam Reporting Site

    I'm creating a scam reporting website and I'm just looking for some feedback I suppose.

    1. What features do you think would be needed for a site like this?
    2. Would you visit a site for scam reporting, scam sites being revealed, etc.
    3. Have you ever been scammed online?

    Feel free to give me whatever thoughts you would have on a site like this.

    Guess since nobody replied to this thread the answer would be:

    No we wouldn't visit that website.

    Hope you still get the project sorted

    1. I like the format of http://www.complaintsboard.com.

    2. Yes, of course. I visit such sites often.

    It would be great if such a site would also provide advice on what actions should be taken, in cases of such frauds.

    3. Yeah...:D.

    The problem is the internet is like the wild west of crime right now, tracking down the frauds is very time consuming. I've been trying to come up with a way to expose this site ripping people off for a few months now. I tracked the owner all the way to some city in London, but i have no clue what to do now that I found the guy. He rips people off for 50 bucks a pop and there's no fraud team that will investigate such a low profile scam. Unless there's hundreds of complaints. I hate frauds with a passion

    that is a good idea actually...

    1. What features do you think would be needed for a site like this?
    users to anonymously or by registering post comments about a person/company scamming
    alert level rating system

    2. Would you visit a site for scam reporting, scam sites being revealed, etc.
    i do not visit however if i type in gogole "site.com + scam" or "company name + scam", if listed on your site and return result i will def visit and read whats up.
