**Wazzup Random Person Scrolling Away**

Being a player who plays aj for many years, I picked up some things that should be talked about more often. You may already know this scam, but when I ask people if they ever knew about this they say'' no. Thats a red flag for me right there. I have gotten a lot of red flags''. It's a little complicated to explain, little complicated to know it's a scam as well. But read this and I hope it will save you in the future.

Let me first tell you the encounter I had with this scam:

The first time I found out about this, I was a clueless victim (Like almost everyone). I saw two arctic wolves, one had a green sequin bow on trade saying that they are taking trade attempts, and the other had a list full of headdresses and black longs and were saying, "My list for green sequin bow! Very desperate!" The list and their desires didn't ring a bell, sadly. I just thought it was a person who really really wants the item. I went and offered a long wrist and some clothing betas for the bow as fast as I could, thinking that I could get it before the person accepts their list (That's the sudden reaction from the soon to be scammed people. ) Oh golly! This person was getting trades by the second! They were declining each one saying add. It was getting a little cliche for me now. Suddenly the jammer with all the spicy items said, "The pink wolf doesn't want my offer! My list for green sequin bow!" It was now getting weird for me. Clearly they didn't jag each other because pink wolf wouldn't be able to answer by the sudden offers and her replying everytime. And they didn't even trade, meaning I didn't even see them talk or have the trading symbol over head. Then it all hit me. This was a planned scam! I started screaming," Don't trade the pink arctic wolf!" (That's the least you can do). They left, at the same time as well.

This was one of many encounters I had with these scams. All leading to these points.

How To Know If It is the Scam: I hope this helped! I am sure this scam is well known and I am restating facts but it's better than nothing.
 * If they both have almost identical users (Usually they are spares or related users)
 * If the person offering seems a little too-good-to-be-true
 * If the person offering mentions the person with the items on the list!
 * If they are close to each other
 * If they came at the same time
 * If the person with the wanted item declines big overs
 * Sometimes they have similar outfits (Bestie peeps who don't know how to plan well)
 * They have barely any achievements (Best way to know if it is a spare)
 * If the users don't talk at the same time (Granted it might be another computer working with another but you never know)
