Hey everyone! This is Clover here, with 2 scammers that were reported through our Report Form by a Jammer who wishes to be called Red.

A couple months ago, Red saw aj13321 advertising a rare pet giveaway at their den.

aj13321's list contained a Rare Feathered Mask, a Rare Pet Squirrel, a Blackout Spiked Collar, and a Rare Light-up Flower Ring. A good rule of thumb with giveaways is that if something seems too good to be true, then it often is, and this was quite a bit to be giving away.

The first round of the giveaway was for the Blackout Spiked Collar, using the wheel method. Although many wheel giveaways are legitimate, they can also be used to gain the jammers' trust in order to scam them in future giveaway rounds.

They asked everyone in the den to send them a Jam-a-Gram in order to collect usernames for the wheel, but Red believed that the usernames were collected too quickly for the wheel to actually have been set up. The wheel was also spun quite quickly, which made it seem like a setup. 6841wiilove won the Blackout Spiked Collar, and people immediately began to become suspicious of them, believing 6841wiilove to be a spare account.

During the second round of the giveaway, aj13321 used the "accept twice then cancel method." This is a common scam method, also known as flash trading, where the jammer has to accept the trade both times they're asked, and then cancel before the other person can accept the trade. However, many scammers accept before the jammer is able to cancel the trade.

6841wiilove was the only person to trade at first. When Red called the giveaway a scam, they were locked out. They logged back in on a spare, but got locked out once again. On their second spare, they were allowed to stay.

When Red came back, everyone else believed that aj13321 was a scammer, but 6841wiilove was defending them, having supposedly traded a Red Long Spiked Collar while they were gone.

After that, one person got locked out of the den and sent Red a Jam-A-Gram saying that they got locked out.

More people began getting locked out one by one until it was just Red, aj13321, and 6841wiilove. aj13321 told 6841wiilove that they were going to trade them the squirrel, and after telling them to put a bad item on trade, Red got locked out.

Given the evidence, it appears that fortunately, nobody got scammed. Make sure to report aj13321 and 6841wiilove for attempted scamming! Remember to be safe on Animal Jam, and don't accept unfair trades!
