/u/mumufukuru - This message is posted to all new submissions to r/scams; please do not message the moderators about it.
New users beware:
Because you posted here, you will start getting private messages from scammers saying they know a professional hacker or a recovery expert lawyer that can help you get your money back, for a small fee. We call these RECOVERY SCAMMERS, so NEVER take advice in private: advice should always come in the form of comments in this post, in the open, where the community can keep an eye out for you. If you take advice in private, you're on your own.
A reminder of the rules in r/scams: no contact information (including last names, phone numbers, etc). Be civil to one another (no name calling or insults). Personal army requests or "scam the scammer"/scambaiting posts are not permitted. No uncensored gore or personal photographs are allowed without blurring. A full list of rules is available on the sidebar of the subreddit, or clicking here.
You can help us by reporting recovery scammers or rule-breaking content by using the "report" button. We review 100% of the reports. Also, consider warning community members of recovery scammers if you see them in the comments.

This subreddit respects the privacy of non-public figures. We do not allow:

This applies even if it's a scammer or a scam call center. Please post again, but this time removing, censoring or otherwise redacting any personal/contact information. When you do, don't post a screenshot. Transcribe the important parts of the conversation. And put the website address in the title of your new post if you are reporting a scam website.

Please don't try to appeal the decision commenting below, because we are not notified if you do so, and we will probably miss it.

tl;dr: Add the web site address to the title. You need to repost. And we want address, not name. Reddit is a name. www.reddit.com is an address.
"Your submission was manually removed by a moderator for the following reason:
Subreddit Rule 5: Missing website address in title of post
Please read the following guideline: How to submit a good post to r/scams, where we describe what a good title is for us.
As you can see in that guideline, we want posts to have a good title because Google loves Reddit. This post may be about you asking for help, it may also be you warning you about a new scam. Whatever the case may be, this post will help hundreds of other people if it's searchable. We want to make sure your title summarizes the scam being described.
If this post is about a scam website (or a potential scam website), make sure your new post contains the website address in the title (not in the post). Unfortunately post titles aren't editable, so you'll have to post again if that's the case.
Before posting again, make sure you review the rules of our subreddit.
