Hello everyone. Flint here to talk about some common lies that scammers tell.
These lies are the sort that are scam accessories. I'm not talking about, say, them saying they'll decline the trust trade when they won't, because that's obvious and part of the definition of being a scammer.
"I can't use the trading system because..."
If they say it's disabled, AJ only disables trading and gifting at the same time. It should also be noted that people who say their trading is glitched or otherwise unworkable are lying to try to avoid using the trading system.
"If you don't go away/give me stuff, I'll report you and you'll be suspended!"
That's not how reporting works. Generally, when someone is reported AJ will go over their chat logs to see if they ever said anything suspicious, and if they did they'll get suspended. If someone reports someone else for no reason, nothing will happen.
"If you don't do what I say, I'll get you suspended/steal your items because my mom works for AJHQ!"
They are almost certainly not related to anyone who works for AJHQ. Even if they were, nobody who works for such a company would listen to their young child whine about how he wants to suspend someone who didn't give him their spikes. These people especially should be ignored.
"If you don't do what I say, I'll hack you/mess with your account!"
This is almost certainly a lie. If they were actually capable of hacking you, A. They would probably be going after famous jammers or people who are well known for having tons of rares, and wouldn't go after random people, and B. They could just hack you anyway without telling you. The only reason people would try to intimidate you with threats of hacking is if they can't hack you and just want to intimidate you into giving them items.
Don't believe these lies, and don't believe scammers in general. They're almost always lying in order to get you to give them stuff. Bye!
