Everypne always says "oh that site was a scam; someone reported it." But how does it actually get reported? I'm curious.

There are some scam sites that send me emails every now and then. Several times I have received emails from a scam site that claims to be paypal. They ask you to log into your account through their email and ask you for your passwords. My fiance informed me that paypal always addresses their clients with their first names on the emails that they send. The scam site would address you as dear "valued client" or dear "member". He taught me to send these scam emails to spoof@paypal.com, and the real paypal site would always respond to the reports I send and acknowledge that the email I received was a scam.

Almost always the site is not a scam and there is no possible way for someone to read a site or opportunity and say it's a scam.
Most of the time people call something a scam because they sign up and were lazy and did nothing. When they did not magically make money then "it's a scam"
People are lazy, they expect something for nothing and when they don't get it. "it's a scam"
The only real "scam" is people not willing to work to make money and then putting down a very legitimate and real opportunity. THOSE people should be reported somewhere.
In the real business world it would be illegal and deemed "interfering with ones right to do business" but of course in the unregulated world of the internet people can say what they want about anything they want. There should be a site to report people who call something a scam without any real facts that they are a scam.
Then we could see a list of all the LAZY people who cry wolf because no one handed them money.
