Do not attempt to track down or harass any of the scammers we post. We only ask that you report them, and maybe block them.

Hey all, Jade here with the latest scammer post! Today's scammer isn't necessarily a scammer, but they did still mess up a lot of people's accounts, so I wanted to make a post to warn you all about this kind of scheme.

I found this scammer in Jamaa Township, advertising a "typing contest" in their den in order to give away a black short Spiked Collar. I went to their den and arrived to the sight of everyone speculating whether the giveaway would be real or not. Soon enough, the scammer came back to their den and announced two rules before starting the game:

  

No drama, and be happy for the winner. Honestly, at this point in the giveaway, it seemed pretty legit to me, so I decided to play along. 

  

The first word they gave us was "banana". Once everyone had typed it out, they sent the next words for us to type, "hungry hearts".

At this point, I was in the lead, and I was actually feeling pretty optimistic about my chances! Just goes to show that no matter how good you may feel about something, you should always watch your back in case it turns into something you didn't want.

 

They proceeded to tell us that there were only two words left, and we were going to type them out one at a time. 

 

The first word was "as", and as soon as everyone had that one typed, they told us the next word was "whole". Now, as you may notice, the words "as" and "whole" combine to form a not-so-great word. As everyone finished typing "whole" and sent their messages, the Animal Jam chat filters caught what those words could mean and automatically suspended their accounts. All in all, about seven people were tricked into sending the message and subsequently suspended. There were about five of us left in the den who didn't fall for it, but we were promptly locked out.

So, the lesson to be learned from this post? Don't trust random Jammers! Think before you type, realize when something doesn't sound right, and above all, just don't care about giveaways too much! You can save yourself from being tricked like those seven Jammers by simply thinking about what you're doing before you do it instead of just typing blindly on account that you want rares. Thanks for reading, and stay safe out there, Jammers!
