Community Scam Protection

Don't get scammed.

We track known scammers, review reports from real victims, and give traders a way to check who they're actually dealing with — before the deal, not after.

How it works

From deal to protection.

Every scam report follows the same path before anyone gets marked.

Deal happens

A trade, a service, a purchase — the kind of exchange people scam on every day.

Something goes wrong

Payment sent, nothing delivered. Or delivered, then reversed. The victim reports it.

Staff review

Evidence gets checked against our report policy — real proof, not just an accusation.

User marked

Confirmed scammers go on record — searchable by anyone before their next deal.

Before you trade, check.

Search a Discord ID or run a Swift lookup — takes ten seconds, could save your money.

Verification

How to check if a user is marked.

Two ways to look someone up before you trade with them.

Method 1

Search the channel via Discord

Desktop

  1. Go to either known-scammers or deal-with-caution
  2. Press Ctrl + F
  3. Enter the user ID or tag you want to check

Mobile

  1. Open the Discord search bar
  2. Filter to search only in known-scammers or deal-with-caution
  3. Enter the user ID or tag you want to check
Method 2

Look-up via Swift

Any marked user also shows up on their Swift profile.

Run the command +p <id/username>

To find a transcript

Same as above, but search in report-transcripts or appeal-transcripts instead.

Recommended: search by Discord User ID rather than username or tag. If a marked user changes their name, a name-based search stops working — an ID never changes.

Impersonation with Intent to Defraud

Impersonation of a reputable user with intent to scam.

Alt Account Reports

A previously marked scammer returns under a new account.

A marked scammer starts using a new alt account.

Against Discord TOS or Country Laws

Reports involving malware, personal information, CSAM, or highly illegal material.

Offensive Actions

Insults, defamation, libel, sales-trashing, and harassment aren't handled here.

Under $1 Disputes

Reports involving an alleged scam of less than $1 USD.

Trading

Trades of in-game items or gift cards/transactions with no real currency involved.

Malware

Reports involving malware, ransomware, or viruses.

Non-English Reports

Reports mostly in another language typically aren't processed — exceptions apply for staff, high-value scams, or scammers with many vouches, at the Head of Reports' discretion.

This isn't a comprehensive list — any term found to be very unreasonable, unfair, predatory, or misleading gets overruled regardless. Terms of Service should protect both sides of a deal, not hand one side a way to take advantage of the other.
Seller Guidelines

Seller TOS restrictions.

Terms of Service that won't be honored, however a seller writes them.

Contradictory Terms

Terms that contradict each other in the same listing.

"Lifetime warranty," but also "no replacements or refunds."

Scam by Supplier = No Refund

Blaming a supplier scam as a reason to withhold the buyer's refund.

A supplier scams the seller, and the end buyer loses their funds too.

No Replacement / Refund, Ever

A blanket refusal to compensate the buyer under any circumstance.

Seller refuses to compensate the buyer for any wrongdoing on their own part.

Excuse to Scam

Terms that exist purely to excuse a seller not delivering.

"Don't expect the product to actually work."

Notes

This isn't a comprehensive list — any term determined to be very unreasonable, unfair, predatory, or misleading gets overruled. Terms of Service should protect both the buyer and the seller, not be a loophole for taking advantage of either one.

This is a public, minimal version of our internal protocol and doesn't take precedent over it — it's a general reference for the community, and the examples given are only examples, not the only grounds a listing could be actioned on.

Reputation

How a vouch actually gets added.

A vouch isn't just a message in a channel — every one goes through review first.

Customer sends vouch

A trader posts proof of a completed, legitimate deal — screenshots, transaction details, the works.

Staff team reviews

Evidence gets checked for authenticity — no edited screenshots, no self-vouching, no shortcuts.

Vouch approved

Once verified, it's added to the seller's record — real reputation, built one checked deal at a time.

A vouch count only means something if every single one behind it was actually checked. That's the entire reason this isn't automatic.
