To all just to let you know. The person first tried to reach me thru LinkedIn, by telling me they were alone and dieing. They had no relatives living and needed to leave money to someone. That their lawyer would get in touch with me. I needed to give them my information, you know banking, social etc. I have nothing and ignored even when the lawyer sent the same crap. Reported to administrator at linkedIn. About two years ago got another invite from the same people to help with a business again to invest to help people in relationship. Now new names same pictures and phone numbers. Now I see them again trying to get in touch with me changed names now acting like a married couple and still same numbers. So this is not just an accusation it is something I am well aware of because they tried with me.

Like others have mentioned there is should be warning bells going off with the word "KNOW" in your question. We all have seen adds on Craigslist, Facebook etc we know are to good to be true, but (there is that pesky three letter word) are the people actually directly engaged in any activity we classify as scamming?
You should not as some might advise put them out there, we open ourselves up to liable suits for no reason. The exception to that rule is if the person actually scams you, not a friend 1st person you. Otherwise report them to the social media scammer police and let them make the determination. It has been my experience that within 3-5 days 90% of those I report are removed.
With our legalShield services we also have ID Shield Identity theft protection, I would report them to our company Kroll advisory solutions private investigators. Visit www.ljsolutions.info to learn more...
Let the website know, turn them into the cops or FBI. Make a public posting AFTER consulting with an attorney to make sure there are no liability issues.
I encountered one on Linkedin. It was a scam job posting. I knew it was after several communications with the contact person via email. I reported it to Linkedin.
If you 'really know' it is scam- advertise/tell everyone. If it is guess- telll few people and ask site to investigate. Don't judge if you don't know!!

Frame it and put it up on an art display.

Report them
I call them out on their page and I post on the main forum so everyone in my circle knows who to stay away from.
