Hiya everyone, Blossom here with my first scammer post! This scammer was one I encountered in Coral Canyons the other day. They were advertising a "secret giveaway" at their den, not consisting of any of the items on their list.
This sounded fishy to me, so I went to check it out. After 6 or so people went to their den, pinnochio1234 returned and proceeded to ask how we were doing.
After everyone answered, pinnochio1234 continued by saying that the prize would be worth more than a spiked wristband, and that they like to do giveaways "in fun ways".
One Jammer in the den tried to warn others about the possibility of pinnochio1234 trying to scam. They were locked out of the den immediately.
Pinnochio1234 then said that the giveaway was best trade wins, a very common yet effective scam. To quickly summarize it, the scammer puts bad items on their trade list and asks you to trade them something good. Usually, the scammer claims that they will accept the trade and then return your items. In most cases, they just take your items and leave.
They then explain that they are doing an accept, accept, decline method, where the Jammer accepts the trade twice, but then declines quickly before the other person can accept.
I tried to stall the scam by asking as many questions as possible, and then continued to play along with it.
After pinnochio1234 explained how the scam worked, almost all of the jammers in the den left except for one. That jammer then traded the scammer a wrist, and pinnochio1234 said it was "better item wins". I tried to trade them a RIM, but they declined and said I had to do more.
After hearing this, I confronted the scammer and was immediately locked out of the den.
Please report pinnochio1234 for scamming, and make sure you avoid falling for these types of scams by only using the trading system for fair trades. This is Agent Blossom signing off, and remember to stay safe and play pawsome!
