Hey everyone! This is Clover with 2 scammers that were reported through our report form. The user who submitted the report was named Nova.
A week ago, Nova was in Jamaa Township and they saw airpodd advertising "Giving my list with flash at my den!!" Flash trading is a common scamming method, in which the scammer has a worthless item on trade and the person trading them would have to accept the trade twice, then immediately cancel before the trade can be accepted. Oftentimes, the scammer will accept the trade before the other person can cancel, leaving them with a worthless item.
airpodd's trading list contained a 2 Rare Long Spiked Collars; pink and purple. This is quite a bit to be giving away randomly; a good rule of thumb to follow is that if something is too good to be true, then it often is.
When airpodd entered the den, they explained that they would accept the trade twice and then cancel quickly, and whoever traded the best items would win.
People started to leave the den, realizing it was a scamming attempt, but a few people remained in the den. Soon, airpodd stated that robotaustin was winning with a Rare Pink Short Spiked Wrist.
Nova also noted that robotaustin was quiet and never spoke when airpodd did, and whenever they asked the 2 to move at the same time, they ignored them. robotaustin also mentioned that they were inviting buddies to the giveaway, which was also quite suspicious.
In the end, robotaustin ended up winning the giveaway, and airpodd logged off. Due to the fact that robotaustin stayed quiet for most of the time and ended up winning the giveaway, I think it's safe to say that robotaustin was airpodd's alternate account.
Fortunately, nobody got scammed by airpodd or robotaustin. Be sure to report them both for scamming. Remember to stay safe on Animal Jam and only accept trades that you like!
