Here are six common scams in Animal Jam (and I know there’s more, and I will make a part two)
(if it’s too good to be true, don’t trust it!)
🌀 The add and then take away scam
-This scam is when a jammer will add a item, and the say something like, “my inventory is full” or “your over let me add” or something like that. The jammer will then remove the item you originally wanted and make it look like it’s still there, because your just so excited to get the trade you aren’t worried to check. Then, when you accept they get all your good items and you get the trash extra items they added.
🌀 The shop scam
-This scam can be done in many different ways, but this one is where a jammer will say something like, “if you buy I’ll gift you” or something along the lines of that. The jammer will probably have really expensive stuff in their shop, or maybe just useless items that aren’t worth it. Don’t buy the stuff though, because they usually only want sapphires or gems from you. They will probably lock you out, or give you a bad item.
🌀 Changing an item for you
-If a jammer says they can “hack” or “change” an item for you, immediately block and report them. They are scamming, and though they may actually be a hacker that CAN change the item, they are going against Animal Jam rules and will only get you and themselves banned from Animal Jam. They will ask for an item that you would like you to change, and if you give it to them, they are probably not going to give it back. Don’t trust people who claim they can get you hacked or even really rare items for free
🌀 You go first trade
-When you trade a lot, you tend to figure out what looks like a scam and what seems fair. But the struggle is when you do a big trade. When a jammer will trade you items and sapphires for one big item of yours. It’s kind of hard to decide who will go first, because you never know if they will scam you. If you are the one who has to go first, be really careful what you do. If they are too scared to go first, maybe get friends to come or something to show you are trust worthy, or maybe stay away from these kind of trades. They may trade you the items, but never give you the sapphires.
🌀The in stores scam
-Most of the time these days jammers never worry about what is new in the jam mart. A jammer may think that an item that just came back into stores is maybe cool or unreleased, or still rare. Jammers may sell them for way too much without context or have them in trade. If you see a weird item you have never seen before, ask around or search up where it may have came from before trading a ton for it, because it happened to me once when a jammer had a giant fennec fox plushie that came out at the summer carnival. She asked if I wanted to offer because it was on my wishlist. I asked her what it was worth, and she said it was an old promo gift almost worth forest, and I really wanted it but I wasn’t gonna trade my forest. So I offered some random decent items and she accepted and I got the plush. I was so excited until my friend tells me that these cute plushies came out. Man was I mad
🌀 TRUST TRADES
-This is the most popular scam almost of all time, and a scam that goes back to beta testing. A jammer will say that they are doing a giveaway, and a ton of people will go. The jammer will usually make up a silly excuse as to why they are doing trust, or just say this is a trust trade thing. Never ever are they true, so never trust a jammer. They may seem legit or seem like they are trustworthy, but trust me they aren’t ever gonna give you the item they have. They may have a main account at the giveaway or spare who is trying to make you fall for it. If someone just happens to say, “oh they gave back my FOREST GAUNTLETS” they are probably lying. They may give back, but they are luring in the best offer to get you to trust them. Don’t get greedy, because they will get you
