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 a scammer that was submitted through our report form. The user who submitted this scammer wished to stay anonymous, so I will be referring to them as "the Jammer".
Around three months ago, the Jammer was hanging around in Jamaa, when lorelei06235 went into their den and Jam-a-grammed them to follow them. After the Jammer went to their den, lorelei06235 asked them if they would be willing to film an intro for their new AJ YouTube channel with them, and the Jammer said yes. They also said that they would give the Jammer 4 den betas as a thank you gift.
lorelei06235 then asked the Jammer to subscribe to their YouTube channel, which they did. After that, they told the Jammer that they spoke a little bit of French and asked if the Jammer could go on Animal Jam's French server. They told them that there was a link to the website in their YouTube "about" page. The Jammer checked out the link, and it looked like it was legitimate, so they clicked on it. It took them to a page that looked exactly like the Animal Jam home screen, so they logged in, but nothing happened. They refreshed the page a couple times to see if it was glitching, but it didn't work.
The Jammer then went to the normal Animal Jam page and logged in, but the game kept logging them out. lorelei06235 Jam-a-grammed them and asked if it was working, said it wasn't working for them, and told the Jammer they could try again tomorrow. The Jammer then decided to change their password just in case something had happened.
They logged back in with their new password and checked their inventory, and all their spiked collars were gone. They checked lorelei06235's account, and the hacker had blocked them. Soon after, lorelei06235's alt account, allister10, Jam-a-grammed them and began gloating about hacking them.
The site that the Jammer logged into was a phishing site- a website that poses as something it is not in order to steal people's information. The "French" AJ wasn't actually Animal Jam, it was a different website that had a URL that was nearly the same, and was designed to have the same login page. Since the Jammer logged in on this page, thinking it was normal, lorelei06235 was able to steal their password and get into their account. This type of hacking has been getting much more common lately- a guide on how to recognize and avoid it can be found here.
Please report lorelei06235 and allister10 for personal info and make sure to watch out for anyone attempting the same methods! When in doubt about what someone is asking you to do, just don't do it. You don't have to do anything that you think could hurt you or your account. If you have any questions about how to avoid this hack, please read through the Agent Insights post that I linked up above. Stay safe out there, and Jam On!

Agent Insights Ep 54: "Golden" Pet Pigs
Hello everyone. Flint here, to talk about a minor point that's still worth bringing up.
Golden pets are usually worth a lot. These gold-colored variants of other pets range in value from only 2 being confirmed in the game in the case of Golden Armadillos to a decent short at minimum for Golden Bunnies.
You may have seen or heard of Gold Pet Pigs before. These pigs are colored gold, and wear a top hat. These are not real gold pets, however, and aren't worth anything. This is because the top hat and the gold color are an accessory that can be obtained by visiting the Pets Only Party or the Play as Your Pet Party. All you have to do to get one is buy a pet pig from the diamond shop, and wait until one of those two parties rolls around. There are no Golden Pet Pigs besides these ones.
Anyone who claims that they have a Golden Pet Pig and that it's worth a lot is lying. Don't trade anything more than what you'd trade for an in-store item. There are no Golden Pet Pigs, only regular pigs with an accessory.
That's all for today. Just remember that Golden Pet Pigs aren't real gold pets and aren't worth anything. Bye!

Random Saturday Ep 61: Color Cloud and Color Coordinator (AJPW)
What's up everyone! Today, I bring another episode of Random Saturdays! The topic for today is about the color cloud and the color coordinator in AJPW. Without further ado, let's get started!
Both the color cloud and color coordinator are features that can only be used with a membership. Both are features that allow you to pick colors that are not readily available on the palette. We have a separate Random Saturday (Tuesday) that touched on secret colors. You may find it here.
