How do you detect Scammers and Copycats here?

I actually reported one today where he only had three discussions and two of them were plagiarized.

I have spotted a plagiarist and reported to the Administrator. I can easily spot them because they usually leave comments in broken English and their articles are in perfect English.

Adding to what @owlwings said. Some of the posts will leave the referenced page (taken from X website). I hope I don't have any encounters with scammers.

Plagiarists were back here the day after myLot started to pay again. I have reported several plagiarized posts quite every week. They are deleted quickly by myLot. If a member posts several plagiarized discussions, he is generally banned.

You are not alone in wanting to know how spammers, scammers and thieves may be identified/reported on this site! I know many people don't want to learn how to identify and report these sponges that "pick up" the cash that could be going into our own pockets! Yes, I am one of those people who help police any site I join because any money we can save for site, actually puts more money into our own pockets! I ask a question on a Bubble once that said, "Do you help police the sites where you are a member?" I had to delete that bubble! So many people ask if the owners were offering to pay them to find cheats and when my answer was no, people went STUPID! Why should we help them? If they want MY help, they'll pay me! The "best" one of these I heard (before I deleted the bubble) was, "Nobody's been stealing from me!" Every penny removed from ANY site by a scammer/spammer/plagiarist IS coming out of everyone's pockets! Sorry, RANT done!

The first day I joined this site I spotted a plagiarist. I read a discussion and replied to it, then a few hours later I saw the EXACT same discussion by a different user, of course this user only had 1 post and it was that. I reported him to a admin then I later noticed the post was gone. They seem swift at taken down reported posts.

I don't encounter any as well perhaps there are still not many active members yet. I remember there are several sites to help checking out.

I never get the joy of reporting as most of them are already reported.

I've reported two scammers. They are easier to spot than copycats. Scammers will usually be plugging a business, often with a website and contact detail, inviting their readers to go there and make easy money (which will amount to loss of money for anyone who goes). Copycats are harder to spot if you don't know their work is copied. They can leave clues though. Their features will be different in style from one another unless they take from the same sources every time. If they borrow from some sites they often leave citations in (with phrases like, see Smith, page 15). They can be caught out by search engines that can match them to the earlier original versions. We have to be vigilant as the scammers / copycats are out there but not in as great a number as on other sites.

I haven't encountered any myself, either. I think @Owlwings gave very useful information about identifying plagiarists. It's good to know that the admin is very quick and efficient in dealing with them.
