Agent Insights Ep 28: Mailtime


Hello, everyone. Flint here, to write a post about mailtime.

Mailtime is when famous jammers go through their jam-a-grams and open gifts fans send them. It could also be broadly described as a person going through their jam-a-grams on video, usually ones from fans and involving gifts. Today, I'll be covering a couple scams and suspicious activities that involve mailtime.

Sometimes when I'm walking around Jamaa, I see people advertising for mailtimes. Something along the lines of "Gift me for mailtime! You'll get a shoutout/some other thing!" Now, in my opinion, advertising for mailtime defeats the purpose. That's not a real mailtime with fans, it's just random people sending you gifts because "oh cool a shoutout". I would recommend not giving anything to people advertising for mailtimes. If they're legit, they're faking support (and opening gifts containing mostly RIMs and store-bought stuff would be boring). If they're lying, you just sent stuff to a scammer. You could check out their YouTube channel if they give it, though.

Occasionally, I see people saying "Gift me for mailtime! Best gift gets something in return!" If this 'something in return' is anything other than a shoutout or appreciation, it's a thinly veiled best-gift-wins scam, and they will run off with everyone's items. 

Also, people claiming to be the alts of famous jammers asking for mailtime gifts are probably lying. Don't believe people that claim to be famous jammer alts unless they have been personally confirmed by the famous jammer in question. And, of course, check for spelling so you don't send gifts to scammers with similar usernames.

That's all for this post. Bye!
