    At the top, where it mentions reporting spam etc. Not overly clear it's for anything else.

    You need to hit report at the bottom of the post which then goes directly to the forum team .

    I can see a report button on each post, but not that email address on the page that the report button takes you to.

    I am using the old forum skin.

    EDIT: I see it now, it is at the top of every page, the email is under the Important banner.

    I'm on the old forum.
    It's right in the middle of the header underneath the big red writing saying IMPORTANT.

    IMPORTANT
    This is an open forum - anyone can post.
    Please exercise caution & report any spam, illegal, offensive, racist, libellous posts & PMs to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com

    I know this because I keep hitting it by mistake when I scroll down in the phone.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It's interesting that at least I'm not the only one that found it to be not as obvious as some would have us think.

    Aside from that, I am not filled with confidence that action has been taken other than the post removed. In view of the subject matter, I was expecting an acknowledgement and that the Police/Fraud had been notified, especially as we are constantly being reminded to be on alert for anything suspicious to defend National Security. I would hate to think the post was binned and the new member removed and that's all.
