Howdy everyone, this is Danny with a scammer I encountered the other day. I was in Jamaa Township when I saw Natenightmarecat advertising to look up a channel that would let people get a variety of very rare items. They also claimed the channel had proof that their service could get people headdresses on video.
This sounded fishy to me, so I looked up the keywords. I found a video called "HD Promo Animal jam!" on the YouTube channel xSoftEchoes.
If that name sounds familiar to you, that's because it is. A month ago, I made another post about xSoftEchoes's YouTube channel. This post is going to be a little on the shorter side, since almost nothing has changed since the last time I stumbled upon their channel, but you are welcome to read the previous post about them for an interesting deep-dive.
The channel has only 3 video uploads - an incredibly generic 3D animated intro that was probably stolen from another channel, the aforementioned "HD Promo Animal jam!", and a video that claims to show further proof of the exploit giving people rare items. None of these videos are new from the last time I wrote about this channel - they are all the same videos, they have just been given new titles. You may also notice the comment sections are flooded with comments from people ranting and raving about how awesome the exploit is.
To summarize how this scam works, xSoftEchoes has a link in their channel description to "French AJ server", supposedly a French version of the Animal Jam Classic website that you can log into to play the game in French rather than English. In the "proof" videos on their channel, they show a player logging in to the French AJ server from their channel description, entering an invalid code for a black long or a headdress several times, solving a security captcha, and then all of a sudden having that item in their inventory. These videos are 100% fake, of course, which becomes increasingly obvious the longer you think about the logistics of them (if you read my previous post about xSoftEchoes, I closely analyze the videos for fun to show all the inconsistencies and mistakes that prove their illegitimacy), but what makes this silly waste of time into an outright scam is the fact that the "French AJ server" they link to is not a real AJ website.
If you click the link to the website in their description, you will be taken to what appears to be a version of the Animal Jam Classic homepage en Français, except it's not. As indicated by the "powered by 000webhost" banner in the bottom right and the absolute nonsense going on in the site's address bar, this is not a site run by AJHQ, it is a duplicate made by a scammer. If you enter your username and password into this website, you will not log into the game, but rather, the scammer who owns the website now has your AJ username and password.
This scam has been falling out of popularity lately, since now that Flash no longer works in browsers, less people are likely to fall for this trick. It seems some people have not given up, though.
Please report the xSoftEchoes YouTube channel for scam/fraud, and hopefully we will be able to get their channel taken down altogether. Please also report Natenightmarecat for safety.
That's all for now. Stay safe and happy jammin'!

I believe you but everyone in their comment say the got thing i a kind of confuse :(
ReplyDeleteThis scam definitely does not work at all. All the comments praising the exploit and saying it worked are staged/fake. It's likely xSoftEchoes asked other scammers to put fake comments on the video for them, and deletes any comments from anyone calling them out or from people saying it didn't work/their account was compromised.
DeleteOK thank you soo much :)
