He's looking to take part in a class action lawsuit against CM? Good lord, what a fucking idiot.
If nothing else, none of us have class, so there's no standing.
Seriously, OP, your post is one of the dumbest I've ever seen. And that's saying quite a bit.
1. You have no knowledge of how class action suits work. There are very few attorneys that are able to bring them. They bring them against tobacco companies, investment houses, etc. In a word, money. Collarme pays its bills, but that's it. Most of the workers are volunteers. No lawyer would take on such a major undertaking as a class action suit against a shallow-pocketed defendant.
2. You have just entered a site where the other posters enjoy the site. And you asked us to help you in actions that would likely bring down that site. Duh.
3. You have no case. Your position is that collarme's actions to protect against scammers is inadequate. In other words, that huge warning flag that states DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ONLINE PEOPLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES is not adequate. And that by eliminating your declaration of who's a fake, collarme exposed other users to the predators. Fella, just look at how many people viewed your profile prior to the elimination. I assume it was ten or less. Good luck making the case that any of those ten or less acted any differently, or that your listing was more useful as a deterrent than the warning flag.
4. OP, look. You are 65 years old. If you were dumb enough to believe an illiterate email from some gorgeous 20something slavegirl calling you master right off the bat, there's not much that could help you.
5. I have seen similar scammers on craigslist, and on other sites. If collarme was the only site with this issue, you'd have a decent case, maybe. But the fact that the infestation occurs elsewhere is an indication that countermeasures are ineffective.
