    i was scammed by a member on dp a few weeks back. Not for alot of money but enough to piss me off. Now the banned member is back on dp again...and scamming people again.

    I'm just wondering what the proper proceedure is to report scammers. I've emaled mods/admin posted a thread, replied to the scammers thread (which resulted in me getting warnings), all to not much effect.

    So, what are supposed to do when we get scammed by fellow members?

    It's up to the buyer and seller to excercise caution.

    If it's outright fraud, I guess it could be considered harrasment of members.

    We don't resolve disputes and there are appropriate agencies to handle them. Start with your lawyer if the amounts warrant it.

    You are able to post a clear and concise explanation in the General Chat section. Send a PM with the link if you want it checked out.
