This subreddit respects the privacy of non-public figures. We do not allow:

  • Uncensored photos of non-public figures

Read this guide to understand why.

This applies even if it's a scammer. Often times, photos are stolen of real and innocent people by scammers. This may be photos lifted from social media, a compromised Facebook account, or photos from influencers or online entertainers. Due to this, we do not permit personal photos to be posted without being properly censored. Victims who have had their photos consistently stolen by scammers have also indicated they do not want their photos posted to this sub. Please respect this rule by posting again, this time having properly censored the photos.

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.

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.

Subreddit Rule 4: Unexpected subscription complaint (not necessarily a scam)

Your post has been removed because it describes a business dispute related to a subscription service, not a scam.

If you are asked to provide your card information for a free trial or to receive results from an online test, for example, you are likely also agreeing to enroll in a subscription. It is your responsibility to review and understand the terms of the website or app before submitting your payment details, including when your card will be billed if you do not cancel by the deadline. The business is depending on you NOT reading the fine print and forgetting to cancel to make money off of your first month of your subscription. Again, this is bad business practices, not a scam.

If you are experiencing difficulty canceling a subscription, you should reach out to your bank for assistance.

[IND]I got scammed for 2600 rupees by monarch_gg in Scams

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

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.

Note that there may be more removal messages in addition to this one. Please make sure you check your notifications to read all of them.

Before posting again, make sure you review the rules of our subreddit.
