Can we have a list of scammers numbers or someway to report them

[Mega Turd]

Over the past few years, I've sold and bought many things, not just on Pakgamers but also other sites like Facebook and OLX. I've been lucky enough to only have been scammed once, despite many bad and good deals. Some friends however have not been very lucky and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other people who have been in that unfortunate situation. I'm just suggesting a list or a thread or something similar so that people can check it out before agreeing to a deal. I think all we really need to do is choose a format and have a list, we can just CTRL+F and search for that number, if its there we can be extra careful. The only reason I suggest this is because the one time I did happen to fall for a scam, it was a user from Pakgamers who had a few good ratings, I made the mistake of not checking when they happened and ended up losing the money I saved for my processor. I hope this actually leads to something

As good an idea it is.
It is still unlawful of spreading peoples personal contact number.

So we can be a prime target for them too.

Along with that, they can simply change their number and persona online and it'll be like nothing happen.

The most PG has done to this is provide an IP ban to any scammer that happened to misuse the platform for their own selfish needs.
And that does the job for the most part because they cant access the forum without having to change the ISP AND their operating system.
Because the Computer MAC ID and Internet cache can be picked up even after they change the ISP.


Anyway, I hope this helps.
Maybe your idea can be materialized in a more private domain instead of a community forum.

The chances of getting scammed in PakGamers are next to none compared to other classified websites. And those too mostly because of deals done inter-city. And besides, if an unfortunate event happens in PG, we lock away those accounts until the cases have been resolved. So if you see an active member dealing in PG marketplace, the chances of them being a scammer is really low, until and unless they plan to ruin their reputation and you're first of their targets. Making such directory isn't feasible for such a low count of bad trades.

This idea could only work on commercial classified sites like OLX, but adding such feature would just land them a warning from PEMRA.
