# 🔗 Sharing info to other places Information in FAST is deliberately left available for sharing and forwarding from the [Listings](https://t.me/scamtrackinglist) group to other chats or users. Transparency is critically important in helping users and chat admins trust that we are only adding _real_ scammers to the list. However it is also important that people are able to **trace the source of the information**, so we'd like to ask you to follow some basic guidelines when sharing information about scammers or about FAST in general. # 💬 If you want to tell someone about FAST The callout boxes below contain blocks of text ready for copy-pasting into Telegram messages.

This will always contain the most up to date information for someone who isn't familiar with this resource. If you want to send someone a link to the list of scammers, send them to the [pinned message in the @scamtracking Channel](https://t.me/scamtracking). The pinned message includes links to the other chat groups. > [!tip] Don't forget that our [[📨 Reporting scammers#🤖 Reporting a new scammer via the bot|New Scammer Submission bot]] can also do a quick check of an account to see if we already have them on our list of scammers. It can use a username, userID, or a forwarded message from the account. The callout boxes at the top of this section contain links to more specific pages that people might want info about, and a full message summarising the project and why we do what we do. Please use those when introducing people to FAST. # 📩 If you want to share information about a specific account listed in FAST The first message in each topic in the [Listings](https://t.me/scamtrackinglist) group contains the main information about the account, as well as a _**"Open tracker entry"**_ link that will always link to the full tracker entry. It looks like this: ![[Listings topic header eg.png]] **Please make sure to forward that message** (or link to it) when forwarding information about a specific account. Due to a surge of scammers we had trying to pre-emptively "remove" themselves from the list, you now need to request to join the [Listings](https://t.me/scamtrackinglist) group, and will get DMed by our bot ([@CountersignBot](https://t.me/CountersignBot)) when trying to join. Make sure you complete the verification CAPTCHA the bot sends you within a few minutes, or else it will time out and you will need to un-request to join, then re-request to join.
