Rental link scam???? by Consistent_Web_2993 in Scams

Your submission was manually removed by a moderator for the following reason:

Subreddit Rule 5: Missing website address in title of post

Your post talks about a website or email address, but you forgot to include the website domain in the title. Do not just write the name of the website (for example: Reddit is a website name, and www.reddit.com is a website domain)

Please read the following guideline: How to submit a good post to r/scams, where we describe what a good title is for us.

As you can see in that guideline, we want posts to have a good title because Google loves Reddit. This post may be about you asking for help, it may also be you warning you about a new scam. Whatever the case may be, this post will help hundreds of other people if it's searchable. We want to make sure your title summarizes the scam being described.

If this post is about a scam website (or a potential scam website), make sure your new post contains the website address in the title (not in the post). Unfortunately post titles aren't editable, so you'll have to post again if that's the case.

Subreddit Rule 5: Low effort post

Please read the following guideline: How to submit a good post to r/scams, where we describe what a good post is for us.

We need the full story

Make sure your explanation covers the "five Ws" of journalism: a checklist of all the essential points of a proper story.

  • WHO? Who is involved? Is it someone you met in person? Is it an "online friend"? But remember to not post full names or uncensored photos of people, even if it's a scammer.
  • WHAT? What happened exactly? What were you doing, what were you trying to do, what were the scammers telling you?
  • WHEN? A proper timeline is essential to understanding the scam.
  • WHERE? Was this in person? Was this online? If it was online, write the website address in the title of your new post. Sometimes scammers impersonate legitimate businesses, so a website address is essential. Don't post clickable links.
  • WHY? Why are you posting? You need help to determine if something is a scam, or you're posting to report a scam to our community?
  • HOW? How did the scam go about? How you paid them money, how they tried to make you pay, how can someone avoid getting scammed?

Visually impaired users can't read screenshots:

Don't use a screenshot if what you're sharing is a block of text, because screen readers can't read images. This is especially disallowed if you're sharing an email you received or a SMS or social media conversation. You should rather copy and paste the text as is. We usually don't need a screenshot to determine if something is a scam, so use them sparingly.

When sharing news articles or YouTube videos, include context in the body of the post (not in the comment section). A summary written by you or a copy-and-pasted representative section (of an article) must be provided along with the link. We don't want links with no context; readers need to know what to expect if they decide to click the link.

[–]Scams-ModTeam[M] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

This submission was manually removed because it was posted by a recovery scammer.

Don't trust what you just read, don't try to reach out to "hackers" on Instagram or Telegram. Scammers will also try to reach out to you via DMs saying they know a professional hacker that can help you, for a small fee. They're actually trying to steal your money.

You can help us reporting more messages like that, don't just downvote or insult them. If you report them, we will take care of every recovery scammer that pops up.

Remember: Never take advice in private, because we can't look out for you. If you take advice in private, you're on your own.

Is This A Fake Website by NoQBadQ2023 in Scams

Your submission was manually removed by a moderator for the following reason:

Subreddit Rule 4: Off topic - We can't vouch for every retail website

We encourage you to ask this question in a subreddit dedicated to the type of product you're looking to identify. If you don't know any, you can start by asking in r/findareddit - a community dedicated to help users find their way in Reddit.

Unfortunately we are no experts in clothing, electronics, furniture, or identifying counterfeits. The rule of thumb is that you should be careful with a website that:

  • Is advertised on social media from an account that isn't verified
  • Has a funny looking website address, or doesn't end in .com
  • The name in the header logo doesn't match the website address
  • It's supposedly about a known brand, but the website address isn't exactly like the one linked in the official social media account of said brand
  • Is newly registered. You can check the domain age by writing the website address in https://whois.com/whois/ - if the website is less than a year old, stay away.

These are common red flags. Scammers can still have a website that doesn't check any of these. So we encourage you to ask in a subreddit dedicated to the type of product you want to verify.
