Fraud-reporting standards

This is the playbook for what gets flagged, what gets removed, and what proof helps.

Entries that should usually be removed fast

• Made-up or obviously malformed codes.
• Wrong store address for a claimed local fundraiser.
• Expired events submitted as current.
• Spam text, bait links, or misleading support descriptions.
• Privacy-invasive content such as names of minors, personal emails, or private numbers.

Entries that may need manual review

• Conflicting proof links.
• Same code submitted with two different stores.
• Trademark or affiliation complaints.
• Reports that say an event is fake but provide no specifics.

What helps moderators most

• The code.
• The valid date.
• The exact store address if local.
• A proof link or screenshot source page.
• A short reason that says what is wrong, not a three-paragraph opera.
