What will be your action towards a blogger who uses wordpress.com for scamming?
-
Hello, ‘we’ need help. One of your bloggers has been using your site for 2 years now for scamming people of a lot of money. Recently, he disabled his comment section so no one can leave any. WordPress, please respond.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You need to file a complaint:
Abuse – Freedom of Speech:

Bar and click on “Report this content” and follow the instructions – but also please file a more formal complaint

If he’s scamming people, report him to law enforcement. It’s their JOB to go after fraud artists.

We already started a complaint with this bloggers’s country’s local authority and t.v. network for an expose. However, we want to know if there is a way for wordpress.com to warn people who read this person’s blog. Maybe enable the comment section again. You will never know this person’s M.O. unless you take the bite. We are hoping the other victims will be able to read the warning and to surface through this blogger’s site.

Read and follow the links I gave above – complaining in the forum will do no good – you need to file a complaint as I noted above

No, I rather doubt that WP.com will enable the comment system against the blogger’s wishes without a court order. That would make them complicit in whatever scheme he pulls on the commenters.
Report it via the links you have been given above, and work with law enforcement.

Enabling the comments WILL DO NO GOOD – bloggers are not required to approve any comment so they could just delete your comments and you would be back here again complaining that your comments have been deleted
