User blog:CocoColaaa/How NOT to Get Scammed :D

Hi AJIWW! I've been seeing alot of people in Aldan asking for spare items due to being scammed, and also in comments on the wiki. I decided to make a blogpost about how not to get scammed, and what to do if you have been.

First, don't go if it's a fairly new account giving away a huge prize (long collars, HD's, ect.) But if you decide to go, these next steps should help.

If they try saying anything such as tru, trust, truth, or anything along those lines, it's a scam. They might say they aren't a scam, but all trust is a scam.

Next, DO NOT TRADE! If you can, record the giveaway and post it if they scam so you'll have evidence of a scammer.

If you decide you want to trade, trade something like some spare RIM's you don't really care about, BUT DO NOT TRADE ANYTHING BIG AS THEY WILL LOCK YOU OUT

Also, try and look for signs to a spare being at the giveaway. Before it starts, you can tell everyone to move at the same time so you know if there are spares or not.

Let's just say it's the end of the giveaway and they're giving the biggest prize and you decide to trade, don't do anything you'll regret trading later

Oh no, you were scammed out of an (insert rare item here)! Don't rely on People in Jamaa or people on the wiki to give you items, you're the one who was scammed and it was kind of your fault! (If you can) play TFD, work your way back up, or you can do other adventures.!

You can also email AJHQ telling them about the scammer, and what you got scammed out of and they'll possibly send you your items back! Keep in mind they do NOT give back magenta items, HD's or any unreleased items!

Note: Sorry if the "it was your fault" line, if you get scammed it's not 100% the scammers fault, it's at least 95% your too.

That's all from me!
