galaxygirl0715 (AJPC)

  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 everyone! This is Clover here with a scammer that was reported through our Report Form by an anonymous submitter.

At the end of November, the submitter went to galaxygirl0715's giveaway for a Rare Pink Spiked Collar, which is quite a bit to be giving away. A good rule of thumb I like to follow is if something seems to good to be true, such as a giveaway like this, then it often is.

 They used the trust method, and put multiple "bad" items on their trade list. From the evidence provided, galaxygirl0715 didn't show proof that they had a Rare Spiked Collar, so it's likely that they didn't have one in the first place.


The submitter was the only person to trade galaxygirl0715, and after a few trades, they stated that the submitter was winning because nobody else was competing.



As opposed to many trust/flash giveaways that use the "accept twice then cancel method," galaxygirl0715 accepted the trades and promised to trade back after. As a scammer, this method helps you gain trust, as people will believe that you'll trade their items back, however, when they receive a good trade, they won't trade back, and likely lock their den.

At first, the submitter only traded away smaller items, such as the Shark Fin and Zios mask. In order to gain their trust, galaxygirl0715 traded these items back.


Another person began to trade as well, with their items also being traded back.


Both people were participating in the competition, and at the end of the giveaway, the submitter traded away 2 spikes; a Rare Purple Short Spiked Wristband and a Rare Blue Short Spiked Collar. 



The wristband was traded back to the submitter, however, when they asked for the Spiked Collar back, they were locked out.


From what I saw, the submitter was the only person scammed during the giveaway. Make sure to report galaxygirl0715 for scamming! Remember to be safe on Animal Jam, and don't accept unfair trades!
