Recently a guildie of mine got scammed for 400 Ectos, the profit of a deal 2 people made together.
Guess what, the other guy ran off with all of the profit, so I was wondering, why haven't I seen a thread that includes notorious scammers with screenshots to back them up?

It would cause too much flaming and it would get abused.

It's a good idea in theory but its's very susceptible to abuse. Screenshots can be tampered with and people would use the thread to fulfil personal vendettas.

I can photoshop screeny of Gaile Gray scamming me out of a Panda.

Because that would be a witch hunt thread. And it's not allowed to post player names without their permission to do so.

If you got scammed send a report ticket with the scrennie and other necessary info to guildwars support (which you can reach through their website).

A bit of common sense and paranoia usually is the best defense you can have against scammers. In 99% scams could be avoided by yourself. Still you can report the attempt to scam to Anet.

Anyone can post a screenshot of anything, it doesn't make it true. There are no screenshots of incriminating evidence posted here.
