(i apologize if this isnt the right board lol. i looked around and decided i would post here. tell me if i should move it.)

hey whatup i registered an account just to let yall know bout a scammer that (i assume) has been/will be going around. their username is timmytomato and uh, yeah. they scammed me. thankfully it wasnt anything really that good, it was 2 rims and some art i didnt even care about. but it was still a scam, and i dont want any of yall losing something actually good. heres the dudes player card:

basically what he does is advertise a giveaway with a rim hd, long collars, other cool stuff. yknow, the usual. once you get to his den he says that its not trust, but you will be trading. (spoiler alert: it basically is trust.) what he tells you to do is trade something, accept and then cancel. it was obviously really shady from the start but i decided to toy anyways. i traded smth worth next to nothing. and i forgot to cancel, then it said "timmytomato has declined your trade."

its obvious what the does is accept once, but dont accept the second time so you can cancel to earn your trust. an owl was there, traded something and declined the second time, and timmytomato over here said: "owl, you have to accept and then cancel.". the owl asked why, to which he replied "so i dont lag, lol."

possibly the worst excuse ive heard, but whatever. fastfoward to the end, i traded 2 rims and some random artwork. he accepted twice, i accepted and locked us out. idk why he took 2 rims and some random art, probably cuz there were only 3 people left and none of us were willing to trade anything actually good.

so yeah, thankfully i didnt lose anything big. but report this dude. and if you see him running around jamaa township or somewhere else, feel free to go to his den and try to make people back out from the scam. good luck, though! one of his "rules" is "dont say its a scam or ill unbuddy u and lock u out". so i would suggest privately jagging people instead. or just tell everyone before he gets there.

thanks for coming to my ted talk.
