    Hello,
    I'd like to create an unti scam website where everyone can submit his/her own stories how he/she got scammed. Also there will articles about different methods that scammers use. For example, phishing, carding, pharming and other scams.
    But there're a few big sites which have been talking about all that crap. So, i'm unsure, if it's a good idea.
    Please, any thoughts.

    A nice idea, but as you said, "there're a few big sites which have been talking about all that crap".

    What would set your site apart from them?
    Does it add value?

    Take a different slant or make it niche, e.g. just about ebay scams.

    Yes, this is a legwork to get a good traffic. Why i'm thinking about that site, because i've collected a ton of different information about scams. Probbable, i'll write an article and adding it at my free host site or at DP. I lazy to promote a site for a long time.

    I think thats a great idea and I think there are not many other sites like this, so you can enter as there is not much competition.
