User blog:Xraindropx/How to Avoid Getting Scammed!

'Hey guys <3! So I'm back at it again with another annoying blog post!!'

'''So today I'm going to be giving you guys some tips on how to identify scammers and how to avoid falling into their traps. Hope you enjoy! :)'''

So let's start off with a RULE OF THUMB:

If something seems to be too good to be true, '''IT IS. 'I mean, unless the person is doing a safe method at their giveaway, like a wheel or playing games. But otherwise, 'DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE PROMISED ITEM!'''

Now for some tips!

1). NEVER agree to do a trade using methods other than the Animal Jam trading system. If they aren't using the Animal Jam trading system, they are lying and trying to cheat you;

2). NEVER participate in "giveaways" where trust trading, gifting wars or anything of that sort is required to be performed in order to win;

3). Know your rares! Don't let people scam you using fake glitched items, false rares or anything of that sort;

4). DO NOT BE TEMPTED BY GOOD ITEMS! IT IS ALWAYS, 100% A LIE;

5). Report and block scammers;

6). Warn others! When you spot a scammer, spread the word so that other innocent jammers don't fall victim of their schemes;

7.) If someone is considering consenting to a scammer, DISCOURAGE THEM AND DO ALL IN YOUR POWER TO CHANGE THEIR MIND;

8). Avoid large trades (20+ items). If you really want to do a large trade, USE A SAFE METHOD;

I decided to do this because I have seen so many people get scammed lately, and I want to do something to help. If you're a scammer and you're reading this, please just consider what you're doing to other people. It is completely wrong. People work hard for their items. It breaks their hearts when you steal them. Just think, please. You could have stolen from an innocent child. Just think of them crying their eyes out, heart broken, because of you. It's all your fault. Please just have a sense of compassion for once and have some remorse for your disgraceful actions. Stop and think for a moment.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed these tips! <3<3 And remember, BE A JAMMER, NOT A SCAMMER!
