Report Scammers
So we've had a wave of bots hit us, but now we're dealing with real live humans scurrying around like cockroaches to avoid our spam filters.
We need people like you to detect it, and let the mods know. How do you let us know?
Use the report button. Yes, it's kind of a pain in the ass to use, but if you use the report button we get notified of it, and can take action swiftly and better train our spam filters.
Post a comment with the word "Scam" or "Scammer" in it. I have things set up to catch that as well. It's not as effective as using the report button, but it's better than nothing.
It doesn't help out others since most of the horny degenerates upstanding individuals on this sub don't read the comments and go straight to sliding into the scammer's DMs, but it will at least get a mod's attention.
How to spot scammers
- Check their profile and look at the other subs they're posting in. A common thing is to spam various hookup subs across the US, all in a row.
- They want you to pay electronically, up-front, before you meet them. Come on, stop falling for this shit. Even if its 10 bucks for "verification", they do this all day and it adds up.
- They want to take the conversation off reddit quickly. They do this so that the discussion of payment is not done on reddit itself and they can't get banned for it. Some of them say they won't even let you message them here and give out their snapchat in their profile or in the post.
- they say P2P, outcall/incall, or just overall sound like a sexworker Often its in their profile text.
Don't fall for this shit, people! Be a part of the solution and reply with "scammer" on their post to let us know!
Thanks, the mods of VegasR4R.
