Howdy everyone, Danny here with a scammer I caught earlier today. I was in Jamaa Township when I saw Leorocks333 advertising that if you could trade something valuable enough to make them accept a trade for their rare eagle hat, you would get the rest of their list.

Their list contained the rare eagle hat in question, as well as a few mid-tier items, including clothing betas and some phantom armor, but most notably, a first generation silver spike and a non-rare glove.

The "make me accept a trade for this bad item and you get a prize" method is a common type of scamming. If this person really did want to give you their list, they would simple trade their list for your items directly. There is no reason to do this unless their plan was to accept your trade for the bad item and then leave without giving you your prize.

I went up to Leorocks333 and asked why people couldn't just trade directly for the items on their list, but they didn't answer me. I continued to pester them, asking them why they were ignoring me, but they didn't acknowledge me until I suggested that this seemed very suspicious and I thought they were scamming. They went on a rant about how they didn't like scamming and they would definitely be banned and reported if they did that.

 

I asked them if they were so afraid of being banned and if they hated scamming that much, why they were using such a common scamming method? Surely, if they weren't a scammer, there would be an easier way to do this. They started backpedaling by saying that they didn't even know what scamming tactics are because they have "never seen it" before, despite the fact they proclaimed just moments ago that they didn't like scamming. If you had been playing AJ long enough to accumulate some valuable-ish items, there's no doubt you have encountered scammers. Even if you somehow hadn't, it's pretty obvious to most people that this seems pretty fishy.

I tried to tell them that it seemed very suspicious they were asking people to trade for a bad item in the hopes they'd get an even better prize afterward, but they went back to ignoring me. Someone traded them and they left the area. I checked their player card but was not able to see if they had actually accepted anyone's trade since they had logged off.

Make sure to report Leorocks333 for scamming. Stay safe and always trade fairly!
