    There are boards with scammer forums if you want to name and shame.

    In an environment like this credibility is all relative. You can have reps for a scam source claiming their gear is the best and/or claiming that a competitor that sells legit goods is BS.

    Plus, once you start naming the bad sources there will be a tendency to name the good ones, and we've just provided a one stop shop for the law to find all of the online sources. The fewer people know about something the safer we all are.

    Yeah and some of them are brutal! But the scammers get what they deserve! I just saw a scammer that had been hung out to dry on another board and it wasn't pretty. Name, address, pic, family names, pics of family, ID numbers, bank account numbers, and more.

    But yet scammers knowing this can happen to them still keep trying even though they may end up dead!
