So, if I report a scammer CloudFlare will forward my information to that criminal, putting me at risk. Gee, thanks!

Or to put it in the words that they answer every abuse request with:

> Please be aware CloudFlare is a network provider offering a reverse proxy, > pass-through security service. We are not a hosting provider.

Which basically translates to "We don't care, we want to pretend that we are not responsible for our actions."
