When reporting a profile, there’s an option to report it as a Spammer, but no option to be able to report a Scammer.

Two points:

- Could a Scammer option be added to report against?

- Can an IP address be blocked by FG if (for example) more than one person reports an account as a scam account?

I.P addresses don't work the way you possibly imagine they do.

If you say so..

Though seems you’ve overlooked the first half of the question — you know, the area that FG actually have control to do something about…

☝️It would cost money to add a scammer option. So probably not going to happen.

🤞As soon as you reboot your router/phone it gets a new IP address.

VPNs are free now, most people will use them to stop trackers and ISPs knowing what they're looking at.

Not forgetting there is already a "other" option when reporting a profile.
