Agent Insights Ep 31: Membership Giveaways


Hello, everyone! Flint here to talk about membership giveaways in Animal Jam.

Membership giveaways are where someone offers a membership for something. It doesn't necessarily have to be free like a legitimate giveaway, it just involves the exchange of a membership. It can be in exchange for your password, some items, whatever.

Membership giveaways are scams. Exchanges of memberships are scams. There are virtually no exceptions to this rule. 

Sites that promise free membership if you just give them your password or account information are scams that will use the info to log onto your account and steal all your items. Similarly, sites that promise free membership if you just download something or go to some website are scams, and the things they have you download are probably malware or spyware. Any sites they direct you to will either ask you for private info, or give your computer viruses.

Membership generators like these are always scams and should never be trusted. Remember to always report these sites to the platform they're on, or to Animal Jam itself. Tell them that it's a site designed to steal passwords or spread malware, and they will probably remove it.

Individual jammers who say they will give you memberships are also lying. Since memberships cannot be traded like normal items, you will probably give them your end of the trade and then they will run off with all your stuff.

If they ask for your password so they can give you the membership, they could use it to hack you and steal all your items. They can also buy a membership for you and then charge-back or cancel it, which will automatically and permanently ban your account. You should never trust anyone who isn't you or a parent with your password.

The only legitimate way to earn a membership is by buying it. Anyone or anything else that promises to give you a membership is lying and trying to scam you. Stay safe, jammers. Bye!
