I'd like to report this account "mercy1995" https://www.imagefap.com/profile/mercy1995
Is there a way we can get a Report button for profiles and private messages?

Hi,

Reporting users would end up in a bad way. Your best option is to use the forum where we have a topic to report spam.

^^ While this is all true, it's a lot easier to spot them, if you use a bit of common sense.

1 - Be realistic, nobody is that enthusiastic to have a virtual relation with you, so much that they add you the minute they create their profile.
2 - Too many exclamation points? Absolute scammer. (Hello! I'm a girl! I'm looking for adventure! Here are my pics! Add me!)
3 - Some shady-looking address in their profile (usually a shortened one, which redirects you to scammer hell) such as www.x-sex.to or similar crap.

That should eliminate most of them.

Ironic isn't it, they have sophisticated methods to steal your info, but are socially so inept that they cannot think of an even remotely realistic opening line.
