To Catch a Scammer

Written by: sighz / spieak

Here is the beginning of any foolish or downright stupid scammers that I find. Reporting these Animal Jam Users is not necessary, but very much appreciated. Jammers like me want to make Animal Jam a clean, enjoyable environment for everyone; kids, adults, elders.. we shall not stand to be fooled by thieves any longer. I also choose to rightfully create these blogs for entertainment & informational purposes ONLY.

Volume One:

Approximately 2:35AM (CST United States time) a particular jammer has caught my attention; their Username was 'llama' they've mentioned that they were quitting and when I went to look at their trade list, it displayed a couple of items; A purple short collar, a wooden floor, a lobster claw plant, a cactus, and several more.

At first I thought: "Of course this is a scam, they aren't mentioning it's trust however.. and they seemed to be a member before with achievements, so maybe this could be real..?" I went into their den and waited.

It wasn't long before they showed up, I'd say 5 other people were in their den. The owner quickly arrived and said to "not be scared" and that they were "quitting". The jammer then said to trade the best to win, and I noticed.. they weren't changing any of the items on trade. So, I did the smart thing and traded a green short collar for the purple short collar. They declined, and said I was winning.

I had a slight bit of hope that this would be legitimate, so I chose not to risk anymore and wait. The other jammers in the room showed NO possibility of beating my trade.

The jammer then exclaimed: "Grievings is winning" Who is Grievings? Suspect #2. It is funny because nobody else has traded after me, so this was a badly executed scam. People started leaving; leaving just me, Llama, and Grievings. At this point, Grievings has 'won' the purple short collar. The next item chosen was the cactus.

A cactus? A nonmember plant worth a few RIMs? No thank you, I haven't sent a single trade after this. I decided to multi-task for a bit while waiting for this scam to execute further.

Something caught my attention once more..

I look on Animal Jam and I see both of them say "omg u traded me back"

hmm...

I said: "Said that on the wrong account?" and got locked out.

oh, and.. Grievings sent a lovely message to me. On my Jammer Wall, for EVERYONE to see.
