Animal Jam - Scamming Tactics

     There are a lot of different way scammers in Animal Jam use to scam. I will post some so you can avoid most of them.

1. Best Decline Scam
A Jammers in some random area in Jamaa chants: "Best decline gets my rare!" This is too much of an obvious scam, because they probably have a Necklace on their trade list and want you to trade unfairly for them. Some people use scamming teams which they say: "Oh my goodness! He declined my Scary Bat Wings!" which is a team, so you would think: He/she declined Scary Bat Wings! I should do better! Then you do something good, and they accept and leave.


2. Best Gift Gets My Rares Scam
This is kinda like the previous one, when they get a good gift, they will just leave with your rare. This scam is usually avoided.


3. My Parents Are Watching Scam
Some sent a Jam-A-Gram that said: PLEASE GIVE ME A RARE BOW MY DAD IS WATCHING. I replied: SO?! DOES YOU DAD PLAY THIS GAME?! She answered: IF I DON'T GET A RARE BOW, MY DAD WILL GROUND ME! I said: WHY WOULD HE CARE? She continued: BECAUSE I GOT SCAMMED AND I NEED IT BACK. Now, this is an obvious scam because whose dad even plays this game? Also, this game has nothing to do with the real world, it's not like if you have a Rare Bow and Arrows, you get $100! It doesn't even matter, and their dad probably isn't watching them.

4. The I Got Scammed Scam
One Jammer laying in anywhere in Jamaa says: I got scammed, please send items to me! It's pretty obvious she might be pretending to be poor and wants you to feel sorry for her. She might actually got scammed, but she can't be going around in Jamaa demanding rares from everyone. If you lose a rare, scam one yourself, but don't ask people to give you one, as Jammers worked hard for their rares.

5. The Flash Trade Scam 
A Jammer wants you to flash them a rare item for a bad item. (By the way, flashing is when you do an overtrade, and quickly cancel before they accept). They might say: Flash me for 1 second, and if you do, I'll give you my rare. Since now the buttons don't show after 5 seconds, people think: Of course I'll do it! But these Jammers download mods to help them accept the trade super quickly. Don't fall for any of these scams! The phrase: Flash me! has been banned, but that didn't stop the Jammers, they made fl4sh me, floosh me!, fish me!, etc.

6. The Accept My Trade and Get My Rares Scam
This scam is usually avoided, but is when Jammers say: Accept my trade and get my rare! They probably would offer something like a Necklace for your rare or just a really unfair trade. I have been scammed like this by snowflake10704. This is obviously a scam, because who would give out something rare just because you accepted a trade? 



These are the most well-known scamming tactics, there are many others scammers use.

  1. There is also a scam when person gives you member account username and password, and says it's for free. But all what he / she wants are your items. He / she wants you to transfer your good stuff on that account.

    I already faced this scam two times.

    3. You still call him/her your BFF? What?!

      By the way, I've been scammed in a somewhat similar way. I was in the Pillow Room and I saw a cute bunny named haha04, so I adopted her. Then she started acting all sad when I wouldn't give her rares. I ended up sending her my Nature Archway. Then she unbuddied me and left. I think she's banned now, though. Thank God.

    14. I scammed two times today, my first successful scam I got a rare ribbon scarf. Looks so good on meh! ;P Sorry Kangaroo. I also scammed a goat out of a rare pilgrim hat. The kangaroo was kinda not too sure about it, but the goat assumed I was totally honest. I usually dont do anything like this, NEVER to someone in real life, but I thought I would give it a try. And who knows?? The day isn't over, its only 5:30. SO BEWARE!! P.S when I scammed I felt awesome and bad at the same time! I am kinda sowwie... but I DID get some rares! O.O

  6. There should be a part where a scammer can actually gain your trust first, then scam you when you leas expect it. I got scammed like this once, and I thought that I really had a true friend :( They scammed my rare headdress, and I felt pretty bad. But my real friend helped me get a new rare headdress and I was happy again =D I'm not naming the scammer though so there will be no hate.

    1. Yeah... I hate this kind of scam ;-; I got scammed like this...
      Once I had my trade list as an offer for headdress. Someone asked me to come to his den. He buddied me, and we were talking. He was really nice and kind. Then, he said he has some headdresses, but he's trade is broken. I had to send the items. When I said I on't believe, he said that i can send 2 best things and he will send headdress. I agreed.... and I lost good items .-.

    2. Ya I hate that scam but one time in Aldan I said," my list for rare gazelles! Jam a gram me if it's a deal!" And this chick said," ok deal but I can't trade send me ur list! U can trust me!" And I was like NO SCAMMER at least let me see the gazelles

    3. -good on they say yes and pow you are scammed. Then they remove u as thier buddy and lock thier den. I wrote down the name of the person who scammed me and reported them. Another random really nice jammer helped me and made me feel better because the scammer had bat glasses on trade and i put on golden bow and arrows and they said yes when they said they would decline. Never get scammed like this!!!!!-ashcashandboomie

    4. sorry this is the same person as the one above and i split it in two and it is kinda backwards-sorry.i got scammed once. they said come to my den and i will give rare/spike to someone, then they said trade me i will decline, then they decline ur trade about 10 times so u start putting better stuff on and they decline about 5 times then u might do a rare or 2 and they decline so then once u put something really-ashcashandboomie

    6. Yes, Usually This dose happen A LOT around Famous Places weather Its in A Famous Youtubers Den Or Somewhere Out in Jamaa, Why Jammers usually Attend to Scam Is Because they are greedy and want rare items or they just have been scammed lately and are Worked Up about it, Just know some Jammers might live up to regret it, or might do it for an animal Jam Hobby!

  8. Ive got Another
    Click on Item for Rares Scam
    Sometimes a Scammer will start dancing around Jamaa Saying ''Come to my Den fro Free Rares'' or something like that. When you get there, you should see many Jammers. The Scammer says ''Ok! First put Rares/Betas on your Trade. Then start clicking the pillow without stopping.'' Sometimes they'll Have a Storage account, or scamming partner who pretends getting a rare and for proof other people say ''Put it on!''. She DOES have a Rare, but not from Clicking stuff. The Scammer had traded her it before Calling People. Some might be fooled and start doing so. Then the scammer launches a Lousy Trade for a Rare/beta and the Item was EXACTLY where the Accept trade button was. This scam is found rarely Since the Trade Buttons pop out 5 secs later the trade was done, but there are some programs that allow the buttons to appear when you make the trade so that the scam doesn't fail. The Scammer and the Storage/Partner leave and the Victim might just go around saying to report the scammer. Anyway, the scammer could be prepared for that. He'd use a storage account to do so, so he doesn't get a bad reputation or banned on his/her real Account

    1. Sometimes, it's fun though, especially if you're a pretty rare Jammer. Some other servers are full of people who I like to say, "Don't know how to trade fair". At least the people in Aldan usually know how to trade fair, but I agree, there are a bunch of scammers there.

  14. When my best friends get scammed, I help them get their stuff back. I believe that online games like this should have more nice people. I don't really need all the rare items that I own. I focus on helping people who are willing to be nice in return. The first few months I played Animal Jam, I was scammed so many times. I kept wondering why people behave this way, and sleep at night. So, I studied up on scamming, and soon learned never to fall for it again. I vowed that day when I logged on and saw five scammers in Jamma Township, that I would be the better person, and help the victims. As long as I know if they were really scammed.

  15. Watch out for moonlightmonkey123 as he is trying the "I decline all trades" scam.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Mei, unfortunately another scamming trick is going on In Animaljam I'm afraid. You know how it started? I'm pretty sure my sister, and the idea is spreading throughout the website because it's such a good idea. I was watching her, okay? And I feel guilty, I take it back. (I'm pretty sure other people did this trick too, but I'm not sure)
    AND SCAMMERS IF YOUR LOOKING AT THIS LEAVE, WE DON'T NEED THIS ONE SPREADING MORE THEN IT IS NOW!
    How it works is that a person makes a backup account and gives it a really good rare. (But you'll give it back to your other account, and for example you give it a rare spike) Then go to jamaa, and say: "Free spike giveaway my den!" So once you go, you realize many people are there. Then, put it on trade for proof so they know you have it and it's not a scam, when it is. The person will say "Let's play a game. Whoever wins, will get the spike".
    So, you say it. This scam (And the "Game") is called
    TRUST.
    So, people may do flashes. My sister declined good ones so the person gets a good feel for her and trusts her. For trust, you need to let the person actually hit the "Decline" button. She did it, and yea. It all ended when 5 minutes later, a person did a good one: A party hat, beta pink tail armor, black worn, and a mummy glove. She clicks the "accept" button, and immediatly teleports somewhere else. Then, she sends the items back to her real account, along with the rare spike and the items she scammed. And that's how trust works...She scammed a HEADDRESS like that once. :(
    One time I tried it (It was the last time I ever tried it which was last year) And I scammed a nr headdress. But, I stopped. I felt so bad! So I immediately said sorry as much as I could and gave it back. And that was the LAST time I ever tried to scam. Sometimes, scammers scam because they got scammed once. Hey, we all have to be honest. We scammed one time in our life, but stopped at the right time and never bothered to do it again. EVEN if you earn super cool betas.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oh yea, By the way, when my sister says "Start the game", she removed the rare spike off the list and puts something bad, like something from the store or plushies or something. :C It's terrible. I'm trying to stop her, but she can't. What can I do? She's little, and she's greedy for more rares.

      Delete
    2. I went to a spike giveaway the other day and some New Jammer was doing the same thing, they must have had a team or whatever because soon a lot of people were saying, "Oh they declined this, they declined that." I didn't try to give the New Jammer a trade I just sat and waited to see if someone would get scammed. After a while I got bored and left. But before I did I made sure that I reported the person and blocked them. I wish I could have done more, heck, I even warned others not to trade.

      Delete
    3. If your sister is continuing this behaviour REPORT IT to AJHQ. Scamming is so horrible if someone does it i unfriend them (if i am their friend) and report them. There is also another way to scam (er hack or whatever) DONT YOU DARE USE IT YOU HACKERS/SCAMMERS OR SO HELP ME I WILL END YOU!!!!! >:(

      There is some website they give you where you can enter the "beta days" but you have to give your username and password. BUT you don't go to the beta days, you are actually GIVING your password and username to the person in control so they can HACK you and take away all your items so beware jammers. I got hacked like that before :(

I worked so hard on those items, she said best trade will get rare long spike without accepting the trade, I saw everyone got denied and then she said someone was winning. So after seeing people gotten denied and someone is actually winning without scammed, I offered her the items, hoping she won't accept. BUT I was a fool. She accepted my trade! THEN LEFT ME WITH A RIM icy blue worn! Please report her guys, I worked really hard on these stuff. I asked my mom to email AJHQ as well, if AJHQ will agree of what my mom filled out on the report; they might ban her forever (That seems a fair punishment because IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET THOSE STUFF).

  23. Just last night, I was at a giveaway. The owner of the den said, " now, do your BEST offer on my wolf plushie... And the best offer wins everything in my den and a nr headdress. Of course, she had a TON of good betas in her den, walls and flooring, too. Well, I did not send a trade but people were saying, "WHOA TRUST HER SHE DECLINED MY BLACK LING COLLAR,"
    and i believed it. Well, the owner of the den i soon realized started calling my name continuously. I said, "yes?" And they asked my to do a TRUST
    trade. I dont mean to brag, but i had a super good trade trade list with
    spikes, headdress, and more. They said.... Do you long blue collar (rare)
    and you win my headdress and all my den items i have placed. I said, No
    thx. They kept asking..... Finally i sent a trade that was my LONG BLUE
    RARE WRIST and they accepted...... I got a wolf plushie for my wrist. I did
    not get the name, they locked their den instantly and logged off. I cried, as
    many people would have loosing something like that that you worked so
    hard for. Me and my buddies tried to find her, yes, HER, but failed. I told
    myself that this was the last time i would be scammed. Jammers who have read this, PLEASE be aware of these things. And no, I'm not going to go around jamaa asking people to gift me a spike. I wanted to share what happened to me and how awful i felt. Jammers, stay happy and look out for these awful scams and report the person instantly.

    2. I got hacked/scammed a few days ago.
      This jammer was like I HAVE RARE LONG! COME TO MY DEN!! so i came to her den and there was another person. She had rare longs and a headdress. So the other jammer traded THE SCAMMER/HACKER her headdress and spike. She got it back. I TRUSTED THE SCAMMER. I traded my good items, and she accepted. She didnt send them back. I was like OMG BIVE EM BACK!! And she was like, well I will. And then she asked me for my password so then she could give me the rare long. So I gave her my password.
      A FEW HOURS LATER...
      I logged back to AJ. All my stuff were gone.
      I went to my den, and saw the person who was with me. I said to her DONT TRUST THE PERSON SHE HACKED ME!! And she was like WHAT!! And then I realized.
      OMG i said I HID A BLACK LONG FROM HER! SHE MUST HAVE STOLEN IT!! The person felt so sorry for me,and she gifted a beta tail, rare fox hat, rare spike wrist, and a orange short.
      I was so excited.
      ALAS I FORGOT SOMETHING...
      A few hours later...
      I logged back on. THE STUFF WERE GONE!! too late i forgot my forgot to change my password...

  24. Twice I had logged onto Animal Jam and found letters saying, "PLZ SEND ME YOUR RARE BOW MY MUMMY WILL GROUND ME IF I DON'T GET ONE!" Another one was, "GIVE ME YOUR WORN OR ELSE MY DAD WILL GROUND ME AND TAKE AWAY MY AJ!" With both I sent a reply saying, "WHY WOULD YOUR MUMMY/DAD CARE IF I DO OR DON'T SEND/GIVE YOU MY BOW/WORN?" I didn't get another Jam-a-gram from either one after that. But, my saying when it comes to people getting scammed is, "It's you're fault for falling for a dumb scam like that."

    1. also, here is something im pretty sure is a scam, a hyena said "my den for party hat!" and i went there, and he said, "i will trade you something bad for something good, and when you accept it will be a party hat!" and he did horned leg pads for my brown feathered mask and i said no, and i put something im REALLY tired of, my medusa mask >.< and i wouldnt mind having that scammed XD (even of how much i hate scammers :l) then i said "do it for my medusa mask" and he said "no, i want the feathered mask" then i said "scammer" or something like that, then i reported, and blocked him, and left, im pretty sure it was a scammer, glad i left XD

  29. I once said send or trade me a fox hat (rare) that got scammed for real and then somebody traded me one for my giant kangaroo and it was the exact same color as the one that got scammed btw it was littlebabybug that scammed it and some of my rares along with it

  30. I am quite upset that my long rare spike, founder, and more was scammed to a mod hacker. This jammer's trade didn't show up so I scrolled my mouse and it identified the items as rare black long, non rare headdress, and more I have yet to remember. Anyway, I was like "YES!" I accepted the trade only to find necklaces... Simple. Plain. Necklaces. I will never forget it. Because it was such a weird way to scam items... But it was clever for some hacker to think of. It par-annoys me knowing items claimed real... could just be an illusion. BE CAREFUL JAMMERS.

  35. "If you lose a rare, scam one yourself" O.O I had to read that like 100 times, did you make a mistake or something... oh and this freaked me out too; "Oh. When I get into accounts, I don't really care about them, I just see what rares they have, and probably would take some if they had any... Then just log off. Make that account my slave, and I guess just ignore it for the rest of my life." -Mei An O.O

  37. One time I did get scammed and ask for items. I got scammed out of everything I had. Including items, including gems. But everyone thought it was a scam and ignored me. I had to work REAL hard trying to get rare again, ESPECIALLY when I had a legend after 1 year and the diamond shop came. So not everyone who says they are scammed are scammers

    ReplyDelete
  38. BTW, (I'm the same person as the comment above), after the huge scamming, I got scammed out of a few rare bows, a legend (b4 diamond shop), teacup (b4 in store), lava glove, etc.

  43. hi, this is chloepitre10 here, and there is another scam i think u might be able to add. There is another scam simmilar to the decline u get my rare trade. Its the "i decline all" scam. So say take me for an example (i dont really scam though) and i was in jamaa township. I had a necklace on trade, and i was saying "i decline all!" And if a jammer did not realise it was a scam, they would trade something good, or very good for my necklace. Take a founders hat for example. And when they do the trade, i would accept really quickly, log off, or run away with "their" founders. And if i where to log off, it would probably be 30 mins to 1 hour. Happy jamming, and i hope u use this comment for good, and not scamming! P.S: most of the time this scam never usually works, and i guess u would just get flashed something and not be able to accept, because the trades take longer to load now incase if u are flash trading to prevent it.

  44. A Sad Scamming Story By: Frostbite103 One day in jammaa there were two bffs who did everything together. they would be there for each other, care, and stand up for each other. Yes those two were true true friends, but not for long. One of the friends found out how to scam and wanted to try it. once she succeded at one scam she got a rare black long wrist. she kept on scamming and getting better at it and getting more rares without her bff knowing. when the scaming jammer asked her bff if she wanted to do trust the other friend said ok and went to her den. each of them put bad items on trade and started trust trading. the scamming jammer said"Ok fauna u can go first :)". So fauna traded her rare headdress, golden phantom, and rare pink spiked wristband. in a couple of seconds the other jammer accepted. Fauna said"Trade back plz". then the other jammer said im sorry...NOT and then left. there fauna wept crying and jam a grammed her I thought you were my true friend who never scammed! But the jammer had blocked fauna and they never saw each other again. Though luckily she found a TRUE TRUE bff and she got her items back. The other jammer had been called to ajqh by someone and had been banned. The end. Plz reply to this if u like the story

  46. I remember the first time I got scammed. I had only been on Animal Jam for a month and all I did was play Return Of the Phantoms on hard mode, so I had many rares and I was very proud. Unfortunately, I was only 8 and so I was very stupid. I still didn't know much about the social interactions on Animal Jam, and so I went to a trust party, wondering what it was. I'm sure everyone here knows what happened next: I traded my awesome rares and betas that I was very proud of for a wolf plushie, they accepted, un-buddied me, and left. I have not seen them since.

    Afterwards, I felt terrible. I did not play Animal Jam for the next 6 months. It is not so much that I lost my items, it is how inadequate I felt after being scammed. I don't think most scammers know how they make people feel: devastated, sure, but also you feel so...so stupid and unwanted because someone cares so little about you that they will take pixels just for their own uses. I thought for the longest time that I was not a good person because someone saw me as a lump of pixels to be used and discarded.

    And so, I have come to learn that all scammers are cowards. They hide behind the screen, not knowing the true emotional damage they have caused to the receiver at the other end. I refuse to believe that any child could be such a horrible person to your face.

    I am smarter now. I still feel like crying when i see a scammer. I wish i could tell them the true damage they are doing. I wish that humanity didn't suck, that greedy people would get over themselves. But, they won't. Animal Jam is over run with people like this, people who will never understand.

    And so, to all the scammers who are ignoring this, I give you my story. Now go, do your horrible acts of greed. I hope the 10 minutes of joy you get from taking someone's rarest item makes up for the inadequacy you made them feel.

All of you vial weirdos don't even care who you have hurt. You know what I call this, cyber bullying.

    6. My Attempt ( Read On )

      One day i wanted to play this new game that EVERYONE was playing Animal Jam! and so i created an account (Daisy16312) and started playing, i didnt have much and i saw that alot of people has rare hd's spike's and all that jazz, so i had read about rare, glitched and other type of really rare things, i was mad, REALLY mad bc alot of people has spikes and s!!t so i wanted one, but i couldn't figure out how, until i found something.... an online web site (i was kinda rare when i figured this out) i had alot of spikes and a few nr hd's but i was greedy and wanted more, LOTS more (i was only about 9 or something) so iused the website, i put in my user... then it asked for my password, and i was stupid enough to put it in bc guess what.. this website was not registered so anyone could have set it up, and in my case, it was AJ scammers, so it told me not to log on for about 2-3 hours and i followed the advice i waited exactly 3 and a half hours until,a got an alert to log back on, and guess what everything was gone, i am just saying to all those scammers out there, every single pixel breaks a different childs heart

      Thank you for listening

    8. to all the scammers here, what is wrong with you?? if you want some rares GO EARN THEM YOURSELF. I dont think any of you realise how hard and long people work to get to their rare items. Once you earn the items yourself instead of scamming them, it'll feel good, trust me. Then you can actually have something to be proud of instead of scamming poor kids. If anyone who has been scammed is reading this, its not your fault, its the scammers.

      Be a Jammer, not a Scammer.

''whats that on your animals?'' i said. ''OH'' she said and left. i never saw her since. 2. MY DAD WORKS AT AJHQ AND HE WILL BAN/SUSPEND YOU IF YOU DONT GIVE ME_____!!!!!!11!!1111!!!!! these jammers tend to fake that their mom/dad works at AJHQ when they really don't. its usally non members that i see do it. i saw this non member bunny and she said ''GIVE ME YOUR SPIKE'' ''wh'y?'' i said ''BECAUSE MY DAD WORKS AT AJHQ AND HE WILL BAN YOU IF YOU DONT GIVE ME IT!!!111!!111!!!111!!!'' she said ''SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM. he don't work at AJHQ. you just want items.'' i said and left i never saw her since

    This jammer was like I HAVE RARE LONG! COME TO MY DEN!! so i came to her den and there was another person. She had rare longs and a headdress. So the other jammer traded THE SCAMMER/HACKER her headdress and spike. She got it back. I TRUSTED THE SCAMMER. I traded my good items, and she accepted. She didnt send them back. I was like OMG BIVE EM BACK!! And she was like, well I will. And then she asked me for my password so then she could give me the rare long. So I gave her my password.
    A FEW HOURS LATER...
    I logged back to AJ. All my stuff were gone.
    I went to my den, and saw the person who was with me. I said to her DONT TRUST THE PERSON SHE HACKED ME!! And she was like WHAT!! And then I realized.
    OMG i said I HID A BLACK LONG FROM HER! SHE MUST HAVE STOLEN IT!! The person felt so sorry for me,and she gifted a beta tail, rare fox hat, rare spike wrist, and a orange short.
    I was so excited.

  83. Another scam: A person would say, "Contest my den winner get list" Because they banned the word get(S) So after 5 or more people come to their den, they go "It trust if no care leave if do care stay I'm recording promise no scam" then they go, "if accept you get more points. best item win" Then everyone starts trading the scammer, and the scammer usually will trade back good items 4 or 5 times. After a while when people start to trust her/him, they will usually trade her/him a very rare item then they would just lock the person out. I have been scammed with that trick before which convinced me to become a scammer long ago with the numbers we now rack up on my scamming team...
