Default Who to report scams to

If you ever get scammed, then you should report the scammer(s) to:

https://secure.consumerdirect.gov.uk/reportascam.aspx

All they will need from you is the scammers details and information about the scam (as in how much you were scammed for etc)

Here is also a good place to remind others to be careful of some website or company.

Unhappy Re: Who to report scams to

What is your blog if you dont mind me asking?

I just got scammed big time by www.highfashiontrading.com. I wish I would have googled them before I thought of sending funds and getting taken.

Do you know how I can stop them? There website should be shut down.

I dont know how to shut them down.

But if you want cheap cloths and other stuff from china, tradetang.com is a good company.

Dealt with them for a few months not been conned yet.

Sorry to hear about your money being taken, but its a lesson all entrepreneur must face soon or later, better now, then later I think

No I meant on sites like these. I guess they are actually forums not blogs.
Sorry

Normally, it is very difficult to catch the scammers, because they use fake address,etc. So I Iguess even you report the scammers, no one can punish them, one site was shut down, they open other sites... the only way is to avoid scam.
