Why's the site still up ?, if the owner won't moderate it what's the point, surely any revenue stream isn't big enough to justify the aggro felt by everyone who's ever been scammed on there.

The problem is the scammers don't effect the site owner, there's zero accountability.

The scammer will scam your average Joe, they'll make an ad showing the scammer is scamming, the scammer then just makes a new throw away email and a new account.

There's small tell tale signs to keep an eye out for but again, your average joe isn't going to know or care - People see a good deal and get carried away. "Oh this £900 aeg is only £250 here? Well he wants a bank transfer but I'm sure it's legit!"

The majority of the time now I go on there when I'm bored and make sure to leave comments on the scammers I've spotted

& I suppose those that do get turned over don't have, or haven't found, sites like afuk to enlighten them as to how dodgy it is there.
How about our members put a few ads up there, pointing out that its rife for scammers & that afuk is a generally safer alternative ?.
We already do our best to weed out the "wrong uns", & are also very vocal about the only safe ways to buy & sell ?

I emailed them and sent a message on Facebook over a year ago, offering to fix the contact members' issue for free and volunteered to be a moderator, and they ignored me. Seems they just dont care. I tried to warn people in comments for months on end but only so much you can do without some kind of mod access
