Hello, Flint here, and today I’ll be talking about pro-scam platforms.
Pro-scam platforms are sites, blogs, YouTube channels, or other such things that advocate scamming. If you look for them, you can find many. Generally, they will consist of videos of people scamming, tips on how to scam, posts which list the haul from their latest scam, and posts complaining about scam-catchers.
In the past, there have been posts made elsewhere about such groups, usually after a member of such a group has sought out an agent from a scam-catching agency to attack or annoy them.
It would seem like such groups are large threats, since they provide a place for scammers to organize, share tips, and promote their viewpoint. However, I don’t think they are. One big reason is that most of them are inactive. If you search up “Animal Jam Scamming Tips” or similar, most of the sites you find haven’t been posted on or updated in over a year. Most of these sites are also very small, as even the top search results have few, if any, comments and views. Most of them also have few posts.
I’d assume there are more hidden scammer gatherings in places, but these places are likely to be small, hard to find, and heavily moderated to prevent people coming in and whistle-blowing. Said groups are also not likely to have much of an impact, because they are small and hard to find.
This is not to say that I think you should ignore said sites. Some of them do have people they influence, and some might be bigger than they look. But, they aren’t very important, generally speaking. So rest easy, knowing that large conglomerates of scammers won’t be taking over AJ.

Your comment must be approved by a staff member before it will show up on the blog. Please do NOT post your comment multiple times.
We will not entertain any comments that are posted with malicious intent. In that sense, we will not remove any post on a scammer until we have solid evidence showing that the scammer in question did not actually scam. If your comment is asking for a post to be taken down or implies that any posted scammer wasn't scamming, it likely won't be published.
Please only comment if you have something of value to contribute. Comments that are pointless or just plain incomprehensible will be marked as spam. If you have a question, please check our FAQ before asking.
