User blog:POTATOmaster/SCAMMING ON AJ

Hi guys! So I just wanted to post something super important on my wall about scamming.

So for you guys who don't know what scamming is, let me briefly explain what it means (on AJ) .it means to get an item not by fair trading but by lying and hacking etc to get an item. So I know there are LOADS of ways of scamming and I have a few tips here to prevent YOU getting scammed. I was once a scammer due to me getting scammed my super rare items and thanks to my friends, they helped me out and now Im not a scammer anymore. So I'll tell you how to prevent scams and some tips.

.So.....lets get into it!

1. Trust

When Jammers say:

- trade me a beta(example item) and ill trd you my spike

-best gift gets a spike(example item)

-Trade me first, then ill give you my items

THAT INVOLVES TRUST and you should NEVER trust someone online that you don't know, and it is most likely 99.999999% A SCAM.

2.Borrowing items

It is against the animal jam rules to borrow others items and this is also a huge and common scam of jammers coming up and asking you if they can borrow your items for a while and then what they will do is take your items and not return it.

3.Lying

I bet all of you has lied once in your life. In AJ I've met some cases where jammers lie to you what the worth and the rarity of an item and tells you to trade a lot for it when it might only be worth a rim.So..that's why you have to always check this page FREQUENTLY to make sure you don't get fooled by the rarity of items.(items' rarity and worth change always due to demand and supply)

4. Hacking 

so this is sort of less common due to not many people know how to hack but im not sure how to prevent this because I am not an "expert" at technology, so comment if you know more about it!

Lastly, what I want to promote in this message is to BE A JAMMER NOT A SCAMMER! It is against AJ's rule to do that because animal jam is a kids game and AJ doesn't want kids to feel bad when they are playing video games. I mean, we play video games to feel happy not be sad. So, if you are a scammer reading this passage think, put yourself in other's shoes, if you were the kid playing animal jam and being scammed HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
