Does Akismet protect from SCAMS ? Not spam, scam ?

I had/have that problems with scammers. Solve it 90% with this

and i have slowly build some 50+ stop words and that blocks/flags the ads. BUTLER plugin then auto-deletes any spam flagged ad.

Works for me since scammer's posts are very very predictable.

No guarantee indeed, although I think it wouldn't hurt either.

Somewhere in that thread i have posted an updated version, try it.

Then examine carefully all scam ads and find the WORDS the use. For example "loan". And add it to the filters. Slowly you will build some good keywords.

Not 100% safe but takes care most of it, if you know how to find scams.

Here are my stop words from 2 sites of mine (many are duplicate).

If that works for you, install the free Butler plugin and set it to delete once a while the flaged SPAM ads. Simple as that. Almost automated solution.

Btw: What i CAN'T find a way to stop is people registering and then Contact the publishers with scams.

I have that daily problem (i have set to cc: the admin also from Contact emails).

I just tried the plugin, and it works great! Just what i needed..else i was using the "more edit" plugin and manually unblocking all real listings. Thanks Aficionado, this will save me a lot of work...

I usually do a casual search on the osclass market to find any new products. Why is this plugin not in the market?

I guess this is not a plugin, i mean not a real plugin, not finished and NOT with the Osclas security standards. Is seems developed by "RajaSekar" and apart from that there is no more information.

Also after i my post in that old thread, if i remember correctly, i got a very rude and angry private message here, telling me to stop distributing his plugin (or something like that).

This basic filtering should be in the core of Osclass or at lease similar modern plugin.

Yes, as registering requires just an email address. Currently i have manually removed the contact form from my user profile completely.

What kind of scams are you getting specifically? I remember you use ZBBlock too, doesn't that help in this particular case?

Hmm, this worries me a little bit.

Yes i was using for 2+ years ZBBlock with excellent results in both Osclass AND Wordpress sites. All of them. But with PHP 7.x Zbblock had several problems and seems abandoned. So for Wordpress i switched to the SHIELD Plugin (really excellent) and for Osclass to ... nothing. That increased my scam / spam ads by a maginitude and i will see what i will do.

The scams i have are Bird and Animal sale, scam JOB Offers (this is hard to figure), Loans of cource, chemical and illegal fluids and stuff. Also huge ammount of scam sales of cell phones, electronics, cameras, cars and motos.

You name it.
