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.
Greetings from Agent Grave! I’m writing my first ever Scammer Post in hopes of encouraging you to either report or steer clear of this person. They go by the username 2ctian, but the account is an alt. As of now, we do not know who their main is, but we will keep you posted if we find out otherwise.
I first saw 2ctian advertising for a giveaway. They had a red and a blue long spiked collar on their trade list. When they entered the den, 2ctian announced:
Trust is most likely a scam. There’s no guarantee they’ll give you the items back, despite what they may claim. Jammers using trust as a form of giveaway have the opportunity to take advantage of individuals who are unfamiliar with common scamming methods. Additionally, there are alternative approaches to hosting a giveaway that are usually legitimate. Non-risk giveaway styles include: Wheel, Fashion Show, Hidden Plushie/Item etc.
When other Jammers enter the den 2ctian advises any observers to leave.
This scammer is seen explaining the rules related to the “Double Accept” Method, though her wording is unusual. They announced that we were to accept once, but they actually wanted us to accept twice. If a participant accepts twice, the scammer will be able to steal their items before the jammer can decline. The “Double Accept” Method is almost always a scam, as it is a form of Trust Trading.
I confronted 2ctian with a question. They replied, “Because wheels are easy and fast and unexciting.”
I decided not to press further, since they were blocking observers and skeptics out of the den. I pretended to participate, only trading low-level items so I could gather evidence. Along the way, a jammer who’s name I will not mention came into my den to strike a conversation with me. I buddied the host and came back afterwards to see 2ctian admit to attempting a scam.
2ctian revealed her intentions to the other Jammers in the den. They all agreed to help her scam under the promise that they would get half of 2ctian’s profit. I agreed to ally with them on the premise of collecting more data.
I attended 2ctian’s next trust-trade giveaway. The participants fortunately weren’t susceptible to this type of scam. 2ctian gave up after some time, admitting to attempted theft.
Before I sign off, here is a tip for fellow Jammers. If you see someone persuading you to trade upfront for an invaluable item, don’t do it. Even if their dialogue excludes the word “trust trade” or “double accept”, refrain from taking that risk. If you find yourself unfamiliar with scamming methodology, click this link

This is Agent Grave, over.
