Scam report example:
What happened::
I saw escrow.ms's lolipop thread 4 days ago and placed a order for 1000 lolipops. After I sent him payment, he just went offline and never came back. I think he's a big liar and a scam artist. Stay away from him.

Some Tips
- Search about the scammer first, use google to search for his/her details, other forum profiles, past scam reports and link to them in your scam report.
- Always try to provide chat/PM logs as a screenshot if it's possible.
- Use sites like https://imgur.com to upload images and https://pastebin.com or http://pastie.org for text based chat logs, although these may not be treated as good proof due to possible fakes.
- Make sure to provide as much as info you have, like the payment address, instant messenger ID's, etc.
- Make sure to leave negative feedback on the scammers profile and add your scam report as a reference link.
Use escrow and be safe.
