Trust Trading - Trust trading is when someone puts a bad item on trade and wants you to trade a really good item for their bad item and expect them not to accept it. This is almost always a scam, and the only way to avoid it is to not trust trade. Anyone who trust trades has full right to be called out as a scammer. However, some people hack or download stuff to get auto-accept, a tool that automatically accepts trust trades.

Flash Trading - Flash trading is pretty much the exact same thing as trust trading, only really fast. You would trust trade, but the point of it is to decline really fast so that the person you're flashing doesn't accept. Doing it gives you a lower chance of being scammed, but doesn't guarantee you won't. Be aware, auto-accept is also used in flash trading. Anyone who tells you to flash trade for 1 or more seconds is trying to scam you, because let's admit it, 1+ seconds isn't fast.
As of January 7th, 2016, this scam is no longer possible. Thanks AJHQ!

Gift Swapping - This scam is when someone asks you to gift them an item and that they will gift an item in return. There is no excuse for this scam, but the most common one used is "my trade is broken". This is NEVER TRUE! When your trading gets taken away, your gifting does as well. Even if their trading was taken away, they can wait. Don't trust anyone who refuses to use the trading system.

Decline All Trades - This scam is when someone puts a bad item on trade and tells you they won't accept any trade. It's similar to the original form of the trust trade. This scam is fairly common, and the main flaw with it is that if you're just going to decline, what is the point in trading?
As of January 7th, 2016, this scam is no longer possible. Thanks AJHQ!

Make Me Accept - This is pretty much the same as the "best trade wins" scam, but said slightly different. This is when somebody says something along the lines of "trade me, if I accept you get my outfit". This is a scam, because if you're going to give away your outfit, why would we need to trade you?

First Trade Wins - This scam is when somebody says something along the lines of "first person to trade me ___ wins ___". This scam is very similar to the "best trade wins" scam, but it's still different.

| graygirl1010 Just Borrowing It - This scam is when somebody, usuaully a friend, asks if they can try on or borrow your item and promises to give it back. Never trust ANYONE who asks to try on your items, even if they're your best friend. Instead, just tell them to go try it on at Best Dressed, or better yet, offer to help them get it themselves. Picture Not Available :( Famous Jammer - This scam happens when someone makes a new account and claims that they are a famous Jammer, and claims their main account got suspended and they want you to trade them. If you see anyone doing this scam, don't trade them. Even if they are actually who they claim to be, they're breaking the rules by making an extra account to evade a ban and don't deserve a reward for doing so. This scam can also happen when someone dresses up like a famous Jammer, hides their nametag, and claims they're famous Jammers. If you see anyone doing this, then search up the original famous Jammer's username on the buddy search and see if they appear as online. If they don't, the person is faking. Picture Not Available ;( |
OMG ppl these days!!!!!!! the world is corrupted!
ReplyDeleteu should add glitch scammersss!!!!!!!!!!!
IKR?! People are messed up lately. But I don't quite see how this article helps at all, because everyone already knows all this! Thanks anyway. It sorta helped.
DeleteThe best trade scam just happened to me on play wild ppl r messed up don't no y I believed that crap
DeleteI was scammed from auto accept just recently :(
DeleteI dont know how to comment but I was just scammed by someone called frostymornings they scammed my pink long.. I cried. I am superaladybug. Could u guys look into this please? I got scammed live to prove it. Multiple Gamer Girl 33 :3 is my yt. Please help!!
Deletefor 'trust' some people use 'trast'. just saying :I
ReplyDeleteyou should put the one when a person says get me this jammers iteam and trade me it for my spike ( or other iteam ) then when you look on the other jammer this person is talking about they will probley have a semi good iteam and you trade really good for that one iteam so you can get spike then after the other jammer accepts your trade they both disappers that's because they are both by the same person so you just got scammed and lost the really good iteams you had I never really saw this scam before but I have see profe that it exsits
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that one, thanks for letting everyone know. Now I can watch out for it
DeleteRename the gifting jam-a-scam.
ReplyDeleteThats basically what it is .-.
lol
DeleteXD
Deletethat is so true though, jam-a-scam... nice use of puns though XD LOL
DeletePretty true, no... Sadly true. People think items define your worth nowadays... And lets be honest... There are some terrible traders that cannot even get one beta. So that makes them generally wanna scam... Or: their to lazy. I wish scamming wasn't a thing, I despise it. ('3')
DeleteEXCUSE ME?! I'm SUPER bad at trading and I've NEVER scammed!
DeleteIf you are going to trade fr a item and have more then 4 items, You have to go first, and most likely the person is going to scam you.
ReplyDeleteOh my god... Stampycatgirl2 is my BUDDY
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew your username for animal jam, I would report you for inappropriate language. God is real, he chose prophets to spread His word. And He also told Mary that she was going to conceive a son, and that she was to name Him Jesus, He was going to be the example for other people, and he is the one that died on the cross for us. He took all of ours sins, and got separated from God the Father for the first time in his life. He went to hell and made it so that we don't have to go to hell and burn eternally, we can go to heaven, but only if we choose God to be the Lord of our life. Jesus then went up to Heaven and got cleansed by God. God says never to use his name in vain, don't disappoint Him by saying that evil phrase. I hope you fully understand now, please go to church, and go deeper into God's word than ever before. :)
DeleteCan you maybe calm down? God isn't a swear word, and you can't get punished on Animal Jam for something you said on a website that's not Animal Jam. Plus, not everybody is interested in your religion, so you don't have to try and push your lifestyle onto them.
DeleteSorry to say this but they are following the Bible. The Bible says to spread the word of God and so they are correct in saying everything they said.
DeleteThat's cool and all, but not everyone is interested in the concept. Especially when you bring it up as an interjection in a conversation where religion has barely even been mentioned. It's one of the easiest ways to make a situation extremely awkward and alien.
DeleteI don't think trusting or flashing is a type of scam really until they accept.
ReplyDeleteThey always accept.
DeleteI found two scammers, one was doing GIFT ME I GIFT BACK and the other was trusting. They were, Illuminatie, and bella80870. Remember to report, block, and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteFrom, Bunnygangnamwatcher.
Once I just happened to go to my buddies den while she was doing a give away. No one trusted her because it looked just like a best trade wins scam, so they all left, and when I started to suggest a way to do a give away without people saying she was a scammer she unbuddied me and locked her den. I guess it was a scam then, but I know for a fact that she did have the item she was doing a give away of.
DeleteA type of scam left out of this page though is the doubling party scam. Once my sis went to one and instantly knew it was a scam because the jammer was only accepting betas, spikes, flower crowns etc. The other jammers who came said they were recording and the jammer doing the party locked the den and kicked everyone out. I would say Doubling Parties should be on the list.
I have found a major scammer, his name is Dozntwant, He apparently was saying 'Trade me good! i decline! best decline wins outfit!!' Please report him, we should keep jammers safe by avoiding scams like that, Remember to jam on!
ReplyDeleteOmg report fiercedeity111 she scammed my rare headdress we were flashing and she accepted in 2 seconds!! She accepted my long spike and traded back. Then I did headdress and she unbuddied me and locked me out of her den. My username is huskypup45.
ReplyDeletei gowt scammed btw im abbyiyley my nr pink and white headdress :((((
ReplyDeleteMY DADDY WORKS FOR AJHQ AND HE CAN BAN YOU IF YOU DECLINE MY TRADE!!!
ReplyDelete(another one)
I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or if you're just some immature little kid.
DeleteNo, your daddy doesn't own AJHQ. And if he does, I hate him because he is apart of AJHQ.
Plus, I won't get banned for saying no to a trade, something that AJHQ has announced in the past, is perfectly fine to do.
jesus, cant you read? she said (yet another one) MEANING, ANOTHER SCAM.
Delete1. Watch your language.
Delete2. This comment is almost a year old.
3. I made a mistake, you don't need to be so harsh.
I don't see how that's profanity, but everyone has different opinions...
DeleteCerise, please, be less harsh. It was a simple misread.
DeleteI fail to see how I was being harsh. This comment chain is over a year old anyway.
Deleteno matter how old the comment chain is, you need to work on your mercy skill. You need to see how your comment is hurting other people. We are just trying to help you see that you need to think about what you are going to say before you type it. Have common sense and compassion.
DeleteThis was a comment that was made 2 years ago. You're still being bothered about 4 sentences I said to one person 2 years ago. People can change in the span of 2 years, believe it or not. I don't believe that my comment is "hurting other people", considering it was said to one person and 2 years have passed since it was made. There was a misunderstanding and I got a little aggressive, but that's in the past now and dwelling on it isn't going to fix or change anything.
Deletei hate scammers i got scammed twice
ReplyDeleteme too friend
DeleteThere's another one! :o
ReplyDeletesome people say "trade me my dad/mum/parent is watching
i got scvammed can you people help me out my username is jammerblue62089
DeleteThe society shut down 3 months ago, we aren't in service.
Deleteyeah i saw something gong on in jamaa township something like that
Deletei came on aj to have fun... until i heard about scamming and then i started to get hacked it went on for at least a week and then i found the jammer who hacked me .... my best friend i went to her house and got my items back ajhq never responded to my message yet again another month passed by im pretty sure my friend had hacked me again she took my tail armor and my spike. then last month she got a really bad virus/glitch/hack my spike she stole was now gone forever. Im really glad i decided to want to be a scam watcher i hope i can contact you soon on AJ if you want to contact me my use id fubbybubby thank you im sorry if i wasted your time with this story
DeleteIt wasn't a waste of time at all; I enjoy reading stories of Jammers deciding to take a stand.
DeleteI quit AJ last month for a few reasons; I was fed up with AJHQ and how they were running the game, and the fact that they were being money hogs instead of moderating their players. I was fed up with the fact you couldn't go 5 steps without being insulted or bullied, for being "unrare", being a nonmember, or simply having an "ugly animal". I was fed up with how much the game had changed from being set in a theme where you can literally "play wild" and wear wild-themed items, but now, it's full of headphones, laptops, and a lot of modern stuff.
Plus, I had decided I had done my part and left my mark in the scam catching industry, and I decided to leave the next generation of scam catchers (if AJ doesn't get shut down by then) to keep on fighting the good fight.
However, I'd still be happy to talk to you.
I'm sorry if I wasted your time with this stoey :P
well I can definitely tell you that in 2017 July 17 Animal Jam is still standing strong! I know that animal jams scamming problems have gotten worse over the times, but there are things we can do about that! start a club, do a no scamming chant. There's a lot of things that COULD be done, but most of us are just to afraid to take a stand. Stand strong with me as animal jam has stood strong for good jammers everywhere. Animal Jam has had an effect on us all. :)
DeleteAnimaljam is suppesed to be a game with a nice community -___-
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think societies like this existed?
Deleteomg so upsetting
DeleteYou missed the one where the person says' it's my bday plz send me gifts it would make my day if I got a spike plz plz send me gifts it's my bday'
ReplyDeleteUgh, that's an annoying scam.
DeleteAgent Pay
There's also one that goes like this:
DeleteSo someone is hosting a so called giveaway and they have a backup account with them. They tell everyone to trust trade and then the backup trades a really bad item for the necklace on the main account's trade. Then they make the backup say, "OMG I TRADED A HEADDRESS AND THEY DECLINED!!!" to get Other People to trade their good items.
That isn't really a scam, but more so a scam add-on. Thank you, I'll be sure to add this one.
DeleteI lost my best betas to a trust trader. I'm thinking of quitting now, since now I can't go into public for 5 seconds without someone insulting me and calling me "unrare".
ReplyDeletedont listen to ppl who call you 'unrare' they are just bassically bragging about how rare they are
DeleteI have to add they are calling you unrated because you don't have a pile of computer pixels on a game.
DeleteI last caught a scammer named xxlostcookiexx! She was doing a giveaway for her beta tiara! She wore it to prove she had it, when a few other jammers and I went to their den, she said "Flash me" I left so I didn't get scammed! After I left, she scammed someone's glitched sweater!
ReplyDeleteEveryone report xxlostcookiexx for scamming!
I remember when I was dumb and trusted at a trusting party. I lost my rare sparten armor and rare bow and arrows... It was a sad day..
ReplyDeletePlease don't forget the hackers! They take over member accounts, steal items, and lock you out of your account and customer service won't do anything to help and will punish your child for the hacker's actions by suspending the account even when in the middle of an email exchange about the hack.
ReplyDelete99% of "hackers" are just sly 13-year-olds who figure out weak passwords or pressure other players into sharing theirs. Real hacking is a serious legal offense in many places and can even get you jail time, which, for the few 13-year-olds who happen to know how to hack through 256-bit AES, is way too much of a risk with way too little payoff. And the rare hacking episodes in the past were targeted to AJ YouTubers, so unless you're really well known in the community, you don't have too much to worry about. Keep your passwords strong, change them as often as possible, and tell no one what they are, no matter what.
DeleteMost likely, the notion of "auto accept" is a scare tactic, used to deter people from flash trading. But there isn't a shred of evidence that such a thing exists (at least outside of the Deep Web). I'm not saying that flash or trust trading is good or safe, but please, for the sake of staying reliable, don't put things on here unless they're confirmed and you can provide proof.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new scam I found a couple days ago. Basically the scammer goes on a backup, puts a super beta/wanted item on the backup's trade, and dances in the township saying something like: "MY TRADE FOR ( inserts rare item monday)!" Then, the scammer goes on their main account and puts the rare item monday the backup wants on trade. The scammer doesn't accept anything bad until they get like a spike or den beta for the rare item monday. Then, they leave. The scam is designed to make people panic and want to overload trade for the RIM so they can get the scammer's backup's super beta item.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda confusing, but I witnessed a gal being scammed of her short orange wrist.
-Shiver
I saw the exact same scam 1 year ago! This one is pretty rare though; I haven't seen it since.
DeleteI have wen't undercover to flash and trust parties. Scammers also refer to "flag" as flash , and " Do me " As trust. You also forgot the " Gift me good I'm recording" scam. They use it broken it like " Gift me" plus " recording" In another bubble. I have also seen " Gift me doing mailbox" Mailtime is the proper speach, no on really acknowlege the fact they may not be recordin!
ReplyDelete~ charlymd aj, bdriscoll 231utbe
Another scam for newer jammers is when a person asks to try it on.so u trade and they run away
ReplyDeleteI got scammed of my mystical faerie wings that way, but no worries, first of all i'd like to say...
DeleteGETTING SCAMMED IS YOUR OWN FAULT! Believe me, I got scammed just like all of you, especially if they say it's a glitched item or whatever, it doesn't mean it actually is.
And second of all, I got my mystical faerie wings back (from a diff jammer tho) it was a super nice member jammer who gave the wings to me for a blue jamaaliday scarf
It is almost always the scammee's fault for being scammed, but victim blaming is not the correct way to portray this. Most of the people who get scammed are young, irresponsible children who genuinely don't know any better. Even though it is their responsibility, you shouldn't tell a sad, confused child that it's their fault something bad happened to them.
DeleteHey, everyone whose gotten scammed I DO think that we should ban all of the scammers out there, FOR GOOD, but here's the thing; Its your fault for doing that. You should know what a scam looks like.
ReplyDeleteI am a great person for real. I spread scammers mostly on other scammers. There mostly scammer I seen on videos. Plus I found out a new scammer he was beyblade443. So I was doing truth or dare and beyblade443 asked both of us to play it. One time when it was his turn he asked for my password I said ur passed having no idea what he means. Its was a big fail. So please report beyblade443. I am being honest about all people that I say are scammers true I am not posting to just get someone banned.
ReplyDelete(LulasSeal, hoping to become Agent Seal on here for the Play Wild Division)
ReplyDeleteThere is a BETA TIARA SCAM, where people buy store bought tiaras, and claim they are beta tiaras, you just have to look at the gem colour, but some people don't and are taken advantage of!
I know of a trick people use to scam other jammers. They first buy a bunch of a really cheap item like say.... chairs. They buy about 20 of that item and layer them on top of each other, this is a glitch, making it have black in the background of the object. Then they'll invite ppl to their den saying "GLITCHED CHAIR MY DEN! IS SECRET RARE!" and people will go there ad then trade their best rare for just a regular chair.
DeleteI cought 123 scams so far watch out ps my name is hotsyboy thx for listhening
ReplyDeleteThe "Trust Trade" happened to me, this person said "Trust me!
ReplyDeleteTrade me nerd glasses! Who trades me it wins worn blanket!" and I traded her my ONLY nerd glasses and she left! I'm in Jamaa Township looking for scammers,I still remember my training.~Flake
Weren't you fired tho
DeleteDid you read the date it was posted? @Anonymous
DeleteHello world. I used to be a scammer. All I have to say here is that scamming feels terrible, no matter how rare the item you scammed is. DON'T SCAM. Not only does it make you feel terrible, but your reputation will drop in AJ and everybody will be spamming REPORT HER SHE SCAMMED PPL. I have put up as an Anonymous comment because I don't want to draw attention to my account, but DON'T SCAM.
ReplyDeletedude, it's ok, as long as you decided to stop scamming, that's all that matters, you've turned over a new leaf. You're writing a new animal jam story.
DeletePeople make new accounts that include the name of famous jammers then pretend that they are the famous jammers making a video and that their main account was 'suspended' and the video was super important (they do all this in public). Then, they go to a random place and say 'Trade me! It's me (famous jammer's username) but my account got suspended for a bit! I need (this item) for my friend today urgently but I can't get it easily cuz my other account has all my rares!'
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me. I forgot about that one.
DeleteHave you mentioned 'Code S14' from that one Taco step by step guide? It says its dangerous, so you should mention it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what is that one?
DeleteThe type with 2 people and one says (Uncommon RIM) for (Something of Value) and other has it and will only accept an over-trade and then they both leave.
DeleteHow about the old "Doubling Items" scam?
ReplyDeleteAgent Pay
How Do i join? because i want to stop scamming, ive been scammed at least 3 times! and hacked once! please tell me how! also some scammers use a nm account to scam then sends the items to there member account so even if the report the nm accounts till they get banned, they wont care so its like nothing happend, ive been scammed this way before:( btw my user is pawesomenes:)
ReplyDeleteThe society is not currently hiring new agents. Sign-ups will open once we finish training this batch of agents.
DeleteSounds like 'Teach me how to scam,' but you can hang around on chat like I do, volunteer, and read the things in SWS Academy while you wait. I believe there is a better chance of them hiring you if you volunteer for things.
Delete~Flintfox9 (hopefully someday Agent Flint, but that might take awhile)
Another scam is the art one. It is where they will supposedly do art for you but instead only take your item and run away. It isn't as common but it is still a scam.
ReplyDeleteOr the one where you do art for them and they take it and run.
DeleteFor just borrowing it this is a way to see if they're lying or not.
ReplyDeleteSay, Okay, but then trade me this item in return so I can make sure you're not going to run away with my item.
I hope this helps! Happy Jamming!
i get scammed consistently :T
ReplyDeletebut plz dont donate its ur stuff u should keep it
ReplyDeleteYou realize... that we don't even know your username... Right?
Delete*siiiigh*
Rarecolors scammed me out of my mystical faerie wings yesterday by saying that three worthless items (potted plants ferret chair princess chair) were worth my dream item... A cami's frog! I call that one, rare for worthless trading.
ReplyDeleteHow is that a scam?
DeleteSometimes it's a scam, but sometimes it's just somebody who doesn't know their item values. You shouldn't immediately call these people out, just correct them.
DeleteHow Do I Join??
ReplyDeletePlease read our FAQ before you ask us questions. And please don't post the same comment 3 times and actually read the message it gives you upon commenting.
DeleteThe Im Poor scam, the double need scam, and the want it need it
ReplyDeleteThe im poor scam writes itself, the double scam is a complicated trick used by yourself and an accomplice one person starts with an innocent trade using something you rlly want but they want something you dont have so right around then another person comes and has that exact item you need but they want the most excpensive item on your list this is a play on the "to good to be true" saying, and is usually done between a member with lots of stuff but is just greedy and a 'nonmember' THE WANT IT NEED IS SCAM, a rich jammer walks up to a plaace with plenty people and says that theres a new fad goin round and that thers a cretain item that became super rare recently, DONT BELIVE IT!
~Classified Agent DARKSTALKER
TYPES THAT SHOULD BE ADDED by Flint
ReplyDelete1. The type with 2 people and one says (Uncommon RIM) for (Something of Value) and other has it and will only accept an over-trade and then they both leave.
2. The good ol' Doubling Items scam.
3. Pretending Items were glitched when they aren't.
There might be more, but whatever.
There's a new type of trust
ReplyDeleteyou accept the trade and then give it back
What?
Deletelel
DeleteI got tricked with the gifting thing. I had just gotten my membership, and I was hanging out at some random jammer's den. I asked them if they wanted to trade for their super cool giant fancy black wolf plushie, and they said they couldn't trade so we did gifting. I gifted them an item from the Schoolhouse Party, and they gifted me a bronze Marco statue, which I already had. I gifted it back, thinking that they must have missclicked and saying I already had it. They swiftly logged out. So basically I just gifted them an item. You can't get that item anymore, so that makes it more heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteLOL I LOVE TO SCAM I HAVE THE BEST METHODS
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you love to trick little kids out of pixelated objects on an online game for children. I bet your parents are proud.
DeleteHey
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the "Double Item" scam
On this scam, someone has a person (it is the helper) that trades a bad thing for the person's good item, but then it doubles (the person asks you to see this person's trade list, and it will have a double item) and then the scammer says to you trade ur good item for the scammer's bad item, but if you are on the den of the scammer, he will lock his den, if you are on another place, it leaves.
Lately I've been staying in my den lately as I check for items, so I haven't seen much of these.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit curious, though. How did AJHQ prevent the trusting trades now?
AJ did a big chat filter overhaul so that "flash trade", "trust trade", and all variations would get you instantly suspended.
DeleteThat's pretty cool. Even flashlight?
DeleteAJHQ's moderation is, honestly, getting better. It's no longer as annoying as it used to be in my opinion.
i just got scammed i pink long on 1/12//17 for the new year wow by someone having beta item someele trading whole list for it and they wanted my pink long son i traded pink long and then i traded for her list but she unbuddys me and left the 2 ppl were evedavis1 and i cant remember her name XC plz help!
ReplyDeleteOur society has closed down and we are unable to help you. If you think it will do anything, you can try contacting AJHQ, but don't hold your breath.
Deleteboo scammerz
ReplyDeletei get scammed alot, also u should include how they tell you to say words and get you suspended
ReplyDeleteThe society is out of commission. We aren't updating the website anymore.
DeleteDoes anyone count it as a scam if someone has an extremely valuable item like a headdress or a founders or a glitched ring and doesn't realize how rare the item is and trades it for a very painfully terrible under trade then immediately finds out they are never going to get that item back? I have heard of this happening before, and wondered how many people think that the person who lost an item with such a value should at least get a few items from ajhq to make up for their loss.
ReplyDeleteSimply being oblivious and trading away your item for something it's not worth isn't a scam, it's just making a poor decision. By definition, however, it would be a scam if the person you're trading it to claims it's not worth as much as it is and thus tries to trick you into trading it for something really bad.
DeleteIf you can, add masterpiece scam? I was at one, a person offered a giveaway but said to buddy her and like both of her masters first, and after that she locked her den.
ReplyDeleteThat's not really a scam, as the "victim" isn't losing anything. Likes on a masterpiece really aren't worth anything.
DeleteTHE GOLD BUNNY SCAM
ReplyDeletethe gifting scam; sometimes people will get a buddy to say something like "TYSM" or "OMG THANKS, IT WORKED!"
ReplyDeletei remember once when i was a nonmember, i went to jamaa township and found people chanting:
ReplyDeleteLIONS ROAR
EAGLES SOAR
NONMEMBERS DESERVE MORE
i joined in and had so much fun
I think you should add "free membership giveaway my den!'' scam, as i just caught one of these. the user for the scammer is Awesomecoolkawaii
ReplyDeleteI think, that you should add
ReplyDelete,,Trust trading 2"
Its like someone has 3 accounts. (main, spare, spare)
He transfers good items (Ex. Headdress) To one of spare.
He transfers other good items (ex. spikes) to the other.
He host a giveaway, with the headdress spare (the scam one)
He will come also with the other as a random person.
When people will come, he will ask them to buddy him. He locks den and wants people to trade good items for his bad. He uses the spare, to make people trade better and better. Then he trades a spike from spare, and returns. The spare will be :,,OMG, they returned, you can trust them!. Then other people will do spikes and get scammed. He will lock EVERYONE out. He will KEEP pretending, that the spare is still not him. He will also lock the spare.
That isn't really a scam on its own, more so a component. It's not uncommon for scammers to use backups to try and make themselves appear more trustworthy. But we probably will add it, thank you for the idea.
DeleteDon't forget the "Trade/Gift me, I'm recording"
ReplyDeletethat's not a scam. they're promising you virtually nothing in return and therefore it's your own fault if you gift them and they turn out to be a phony.
DeleteIs this page inactive? I see many of the scams listed in the comments haven't been added, including some ones used rather often.
ReplyDeleteIt just hasn't been updated yet. The society is still getting set up, and we haven't had the time to add them yet. It's on our to-do list, though, rest assured.
DeleteHer name is kawaiiunicorn201. She does giveaway scams. I recorded it. I lost my flower crown... :'( Please report and block. Stay safe!
ReplyDelete- Cutestkit
this isn't a page to submit scammers that you've run into. please don't go around encouraging others to report someone when you provide no proof of them scamming.
DeleteI've seen this set up before, but not sure if it actually was a scam.
ReplyDeleteSo let's say you have "a", which is worth 40-60 den betas. Someone offers "a" for only 40 den betas, but they tell you to trade first - maybe just 10 den betas "in case" you leave with "a" before all trades are done. When you are done with your portion of the trade, they will then leave, and not give "a" at all.
you forgot the: scammer that pretends something bad happened to them so people give them stuff
ReplyDeleteThat isn't listed as a scam since there's no way of proving or disproving whether that actually happened to the person. Begging itself isn't really scamming, since they aren't promising anything in return, they're just trying to tug at your heartstrings.
DeleteHere is another common scam. Two jammers are working together (or two jammers on the same device) and one jammer has a rare item on trade and says they want a bad item for it (ex, jammer has a red long. Wants an eyeball hat for it). The second jammer is then advertising the item the other jammer wants, and they usually decline fair trades for it. Judging by the fact that you are technically trading for a red long since the jammer wants that eyeball hat for it, you will end up overtrading. Then, when you try to trade for the red long, the jammer declines and leaves.
ReplyDeleteI have a possible scam. One person puts store bought on trade and says it is glitched. People who are new don't know if it is glitched and don't know what is rare or not. They trade a good item for it but all they got was a store bought item. The person may be truthful but who knows.
