Howdy everyone, Danny here with a scammer I encountered earlier today. I was in Jamaa Township when I saw Iamapotatoandiknowit advertising that, if you could get the necklace off their trade list, you would win all the other items on their trade. In essence, what they were saying is that if you traded good enough items for the necklace that they accepted, you would then be given everything else separately. They also mentioned that they were recording during this, presumably to make themself seem trustworthy.

Their trade list included the necklace of course, as well as a variety of other rare items, including a red long, a black long, a green long, a sheep cloak, and various promo items. That is certainly a lot to be giving away.

This is nearly always a scam. If this person really wanted to give all the items away to one person, they would be better off trading the lot of items directly for what they want rather than having people trade indirectly for the necklace.

Iamapotatoandiknowit also added that they would accept if somebody traded them a skunk tail, another valuable item.

I tried to ask them why people couldn't just trade for their items directly, but they were in the process of trading with somebody... for a very long time. Their trade bubble disappeared and they suddenly left the area. I checked their trade list to see if the necklace was still there, and sure enough, they had just scammed someone.

After a few minutes, I checked Iamapotatoandiknowit's trade list again to see they had added another necklace to their repertoire and were presumably trying the scam again. I followed them to their new server and saw they were repeating the same advertisement, but they were not getting any trades this time around. I took this opportunity to ask them some questions.

I first asked them why they would not just trade their items directly, and moreover, how we could trust that they would actually give their items and not just run away after accepting. They took a long pause before asking why they would scam somebody while they were recording, to which I responded that there was no way to tell if they were actually recording or if they were just saying that to make themself seem reliable.

After another long pause, they answered that they were on a livestream right now. That's a pretty easy claim to make, one that I do not believe since they made no effort to tell me what the name of their livestream was for evidence and because I had literally watched them scam somebody minutes prior.

I asked when the person whose trade they accepted about 10 minutes ago would get their prizes, adding that I had watched them accept their trade and then leave with all the items still on trade. They said nothing for a good solid minute before exclaiming at me to leave them alone and let me "do their thing".

To emphasize this, they blocked me and left the area.

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