Mkay SO I have quite a few..but this one was the hardest to detect a scam.

The player was uxnicornsarenotamyth. You'll see them around Aldan utouched by ajhq (thank you by the way for doing SO much for scammers, ajhq.  Such a kid-friendly environment.)



So they told me they were making an animal jam youtube video about scammers. I had been scammed a week before of my yellow long (my very first spike ever and I got it from the lucky clover event), so I was really mad and angry about scammers so I agreed. They said to trade them my best item (which at that point was a red short collar (and I got that one by working for weeks at collecting rims then betas, then spikes)  They said they'd decline because they were doing a before and after thing for the video.  I pannicked and told them I needed a moment.  They were very nice and 'paused the video for me'  After about a minute i came back and said i was ready.  They told me to trade the red shor collar as a mock trust trade and they'd gift it back.. I'm really dumb I know!  As a much older, normal self I can see that it was clearly a scam, but the thing that threw me off was that he was 'makign a video'

Y'all can guess the ending. They took it and locked me out ;)

I didn't loose a lot, but this was the most confusing time I was scammed
