User blog:Rawkinn/My headdress was scammed

Hey, I might be taking a break from aj for a little while. I just lost my tan headdress last night to a scam.... I'm posting this to warn you that scams like this do exist. Please do not tell me how stupid I was in the comments, Iv'e already beat myself up enough mentally. So, I had a tan headdress. It was my favorite item, and I was wearing it. Then I was approached by someone asking if I had a tan beta tail. I resonded with, no, sorry. And they said I'd trade my list for one. I looked at their list and saw two blue longs and two dark pink headdresses. I told them that they were over, and explained the actual value of a tan tail. Then they said thse exact words "I know I'm over, it's just better to have something that you like rather than something that you dislike." "I don't like the colors of the items on my list, and I think tan tails are much cooler looking!" I then said," you could easily get a tan tail for just your two blue longs." They just said, I wanna trade my headdresses to someone who wants them for a tan tail." So I said, "Ok, good luck, someone will really like you trade." So I left their den and got a jag. It read, "Will you get me a tan beta tail, I'll trade my list." I said, "sure I can try." The sounded very genuine and nice, and so I thought that they would actually trade me those items. Then I got a buddy request, and I accepted. The person buddying me said thay wanted to offer for my headdress, and they had a tan beta tail. I was happy, and said "sure, you can offer!" Then I get a jag from the person wanting a tan tail. they said " I have to go to ballet in 10 minutes, can you trade for a tail now?" I said sure, I'll try to get one. I waited for the person to offer for my headdress, and they offered a tan tail. I wasn't thinking straight, and this is where I made a really stupid decision. I accepted, thinking that I would be able to trade the tan tail for the stuff on the other jammer's list. I went to their den as fast as I could and thy locked me immedietly. I just realized that the two accounts were owned by either the same person, or they were scamming partners. I felt really stupid. I lost my best item. I then checked my buddy lit. They both had unbuddied me. Not only that but I didn't record, screenshot, or get any proof that this actually happened. I would contact ajhq, but they would never believe me without proof, and they don't give back headdresses or anything. I don't know If I will quit, all I know is that I'm going to take a break. This was not posted to beg, nor is it a fake story. It was only posted to educate you that if a trade seems too good to be true, even if the person trading sounds genuine, It could be a scam. Please, I do not  want anyone telling me how stupid I was, I know that I was. It was late and I wasn't thinking straight after a long day of school and homework. Please, just take into consideration that trust trades arne't the only type of scam. I don't want to start any drama, I'll be ok. I just want that scammer to know that they succsessfully made a 13 year old cry like an idiot. Thanks for any support, I could really use at least one person telling me that I'm not the only one falling for these scams.
