Board Thread:Animal Jam Talk/@comment-38498952-20190423053026

I don't care if no one reads this, I just needed a place to rant/warn people.

So, a person came into my den asking me if I wanted to go back into the beta days. I knew they were just trying to get my account, so I locked them out. They later jam-a-grammed me asking if I wanted to help. I literally thought they weren't serious so I said yes. We exchanged discords, and they had me download this thing called "EditThisCookie". Checked if there were any viruses, and there weren't, so I did. They had me log into a spare/main in order and give them a session ID. Little did I know a session ID contains your username and password. I got suspicious after a few seconds and asked my friend to tell me if my main account goes online. It did.

Just by typing this out makes me anxious. I freaked out and tried to fight for my account by logging in over and over. They managed to suspend my account, but my headdress was gone. My blue headdress was taken away and put on their spare account. It took me 5 years to get to this. I literally screamed and cried for 20 minutes straight, knowing it was my fault for being stupid. I had made suicidal threats to my mom and my friend, and I was basically almost triggered into my old habits. When my account got unsuspended, I quickly moved some of my remaining important items to a spare if I ever decide to play again. I am 100% not overreacting. This on top of the stress of my sport, school, relationships and more made it worse. I am constantly stressed and I never get time to relax. Animal Jam WAS my escape.

TLDR; Do NOT give out your session ID or it'll be a big mistake. Your session ID contains your username and password for that "session" (AKA, until you log out).

Thanks for reading if you read the thing.
