Report Trafficking or Exploitation

Tell Roesas about suspected trafficking, coercion or exploitation connected to an advertisement on this site.

If somebody is in immediate danger

If somebody is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. Roesas is not an emergency service: it cannot intervene in an ongoing situation, cannot reach anybody on your behalf, and cannot dispatch help.

You do not need a Roesas account to use this form. You do not need to sign in, you do not need to advertise here, and you do not have to tell Roesas who you are.

Use it to report suspected human trafficking or sex trafficking, coercion, exploitation, forced labour, debt bondage, threats or control exercised over somebody, the suspected involvement of anybody under 18, or content published without the consent of the person in it — where it is connected to an advertisement on Roesas.

Reporting to Roesas, and reporting to the authorities

Reporting to Roesas is for concerns about a Roesas profile, advertisement or other content on this platform.

Suspected crimes, danger, trafficking, the involvement of a minor and emergencies are for the authorities. Reporting something to Roesas does not replace contacting them, and Roesas does not decide whether a crime has occurred.

Your report

The web address of the profile, or anything else that identifies it — a name shown on the advertisement, or a city. Leave it blank if you do not know.

What are you concerned about?(optional)

No single sign proves that trafficking or exploitation is taking place. You do not need to be certain, and you are not being asked to investigate. Describe what you saw.

Describe what concerns you, in your own words, and when you saw it. Please do not send identity documents, government identifiers, payment details or intimate images through this form.

A web address where the same photograph or content appears, if you have one. Leave it blank if not.

Never link to material showing a child. Do not download, save or re-upload anything of that kind - describe it and give the listing address instead, and report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline.

Only if you are willing to be contacted about this report. You do not need to give one, and no Roesas account is created either way. Supplying an address does not guarantee a reply.

Where else to report

These are resources for people in the United States. They are independent of Roesas: contacting them is not the same as reporting to Roesas, and reporting to Roesas does not contact them for you.

What this form is not for

This is a trust and safety channel, not customer support. Sending something else here delays it, because it joins a queue read by the people who handle safety reports.

  • If the concern is that photographs are stolen, unauthorised or of somebody else, use the fake photographs and impersonation form instead.
  • If you own the copyright in material published here, a copyright complaint is a different process with different requirements.
  • If you advertise on Roesas and need help with your account, an advertisement or a payment, use your message centre — it reaches a person.
  • If you want to ask what information Roesas holds about you, use the privacy request form.

See report fake photographs, the copyright complaint page, the privacy request form, and the Safety policy.

The Acceptable Use policy sets out everything Roesas prohibits, including trafficking, coercion, exploitation, forced labour, debt bondage, the involvement of anybody under 18, and non-consensual content.

What Roesas records when you use this form

Roesas records what you type — the profile reference, the concern you selected, your description, any link you provide, and an email address if you choose to give one — together with the date. That record is how the report is handled, and it is kept as evidence that the report was made and what was done about it. It is visible only to Roesas staff.

Roesas does not store your IP address or browser details for a report submitted here, and no account is created for you. See the Privacy Policy.
