It's a nice idea, not sure how I feel about it though. Scamming is sort of easy to spot and it's the oldest trick in the book. Rule of thumb: Don't hand over your most prize possessions to a random stranger (or any buddy who is not particularly qualified) if it's not the ol' trading system.

It should go like this: You trade your items to a user and they trade their items in the same trade. If there is any hesitation, or if the trade seems shady, decline.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure everybody will run into a scammer within a few weeks or so while playing AJ. It's not that scammers are super abundant, it's just that with over 100million players it's bound to happen tbh.

And I'm also sure any newbie won't find this fandom wiki. It may take awhile before you run into somebody talking about Aj worth. It may take even longer to ask where it is and what is it exactly.

I think I know a more local method of doings things. You could go to Animaljam, and ask if anybody is new to animaljam (2 months or younger preferably).

Then you can educate the newbie public about what a scammer is and what they might say. New jammers aren't common at all, at least where I look.

Maybe you could give tips on how to avoid scammers on a larger public domain. Like YouTube or Twitter or Reddit. Probably wik-how, too.

Scamming may never stop, but it is well-known. If we know all their tricks, then can they really spread that much damage?

And if this comes off as kinda careless, well, it is also the victim of the scam's fault too lolllll. 'I will trade/gift my most prized item to a random stranger who told me to come meet me in my den knowing how dark the internet can be!! Lelelele'.

That right there. Is sad. I don't even know how these Aldan wolves get scammed. But I will be merciful to young children and newbies :'0
