Messages, offers and reports
Report an ad, message or user
Tell Local Ads about suspected scams, prohibited content, abuse or serious listing inaccuracies.
What to report
- Suspected fraud, phishing or impersonation.
- Prohibited, dangerous or unlawful listings.
- Harassment, threats or discriminatory content.
- A materially misleading category, price, location or description.
- Attempts to obtain passwords, codes or payment credentials.
Provide useful evidence
Include the public listing URL, username, conversation context and a concise explanation. Screenshots can help, but remove unrelated personal data. Do not publicly accuse another user inside a listing.
Emergencies and financial loss
Contact your bank immediately if payment credentials or money are at risk. For emergencies or suspected crime, contact the appropriate Irish authorities rather than waiting for marketplace support.
Common questions
Will the reported user see my private evidence?
Reports and moderation evidence are restricted to authorised handling and are not published on the reported listing.
Does every report remove a listing immediately?
No. Reports are assessed against marketplace rules and available evidence. Urgent safety controls may be applied where appropriate.
