How to Report Problems #

If you see something on our directories that shouldn’t be there—a fake Listing, inappropriate content, copyright violation, or anything else—please report it. This policy explains how.

The Simple Truth #

  • Easy reporting: Use the “Report” button on any Listing, review, or profile.

  • You can report anonymously: Your identity won’t be revealed to the person you’re reporting (unless required by law).

  • We investigate: Our team reviews reports and takes appropriate action.

  • False reports hurt everyone: Don’t use reporting to harass others—it wastes resources and can get your account restricted.

  • Emergency? Call local authorities first: If someone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services before reporting to us.
