Hey all, Blue and Dew here with today's agent insights! So, today, we will be going over how to spot a scammer!
Some of the easiest ways are to check if the scammer is a new jammer, how many achievements they have, how many pets and how many items. For example, an account that has very few achievements and is advertising for a trust giveaway with spikes or headdresses could be an alt of a scammer.
Another way to tell is if they say their main has been suspended and they are on a spare, and that they had many rares/spikes/longs etc etc. Sometimes, they may ask others to gift them such rares because they were suspended. However, we cannot be sure if it is true that their main was suspended. To be safe, unless you are willing to risk losing your item forever, don't gift them it.
Also, do recall that any form of trust trading is considered by AJHQ to be scamming. Therefore, anyone who trust trades can be considered to be a scammer. However, not everyone trust trades with bad intent, though many of them do.
Additionally, many giveaways may not be giveaways at all! Though some are genuine giveaways, others could involve trading for a rare item. Giveaways are named as such because the receipent doesn't have to give anything back in return. For non-members, they can trade a common item. Therefore, giveaways that involve trading rares is highly likely to be a scam.
Finally, there is the "Gift me it's my birthday". Now, this is up to you to decide. It could be genuine, it may not be. Just remember that if you gift them, you may not get your item back.
That's all from us now. Until next time!
