Scamming Techniques

Here you can find out the known scamming techniques. 

 Most of the scammers are members as they can get gifts but non member sometimes scam to make jammers sad as they did not know nm s cant open gifts and they lost an item.

With thanx to the scam police.

Pleading - Many Scammers now ask for donations or gifts. They claim that it is their birthday, or they're "poor" or a newbie. Most of them are NOT true to this statement and will continue pleading for this for months. Be sure to try to prove whether these players are telling the truth, or report and ignore. To check if a newbie is really new, look at their Achievements. If they have less than 5, you're safe. Also remember that no newbies will be members. Also another pleade is 'send me unwanted items' but you can get stuff out of unwanted stuff by using the trade system.

Promising - Most Scammers  are saying things like 'send me a rare items and I'll give you a ___' This is an obvious scam, as most gullible Jammers will not receive anything in return. The Scammer usually keeps whatever is sent and then logs off, leaving the tricked Jammer with a hole in their inventory.

Invisible Items - Sometimes, a Scammer will send a trade with items that are nothing but yellow boxes. When moused over, the system states that these are items like Sturdy Tables or Blue Couches. Do not be fooled, as, even though it has a small chance of being a glitch, this is a hacking Scammer. Many scammers have gotten a hold on a program which will allow them to trick Animal Jam's system and trade nothing. Many scammers usually target a rare or high-demand item. If you ever see a trade with at least one invisible item, immediately cancel. If the user who sent you that trade tries again with invisible items or is a known scammer, immediately report and ignore.

The code scam-  This scam can be a real code or a fake/used one. People will say give me a rare or another item and ill give you a code/membership code. You give them it some give you a real code which works but only gives you some gems but everyone knows it anyway. The memberhship one is when you give an item then they either make a code up or use an old one they have used.

The contest- This scam is when a scammer says whoever sends them the best rare wins a rare people send rares no one wins and thats the end of that.

WARNING SOME SCAMMERS MAY HAVE ACCOMPLICES IN WHICH THEY SAY NO SCAM ASK MY FRIEND AND THEY WILL SAY YES. THEY ARE A TEAM AND THIS CAN WORK ON MOST SCAMS.

Some scammers get carried away and say HAHA YOUVE BEEN SCAMMED some in public and that stops the scammer in they're tracks.
 A great way to trick scammer is if they are asking for a gift send them a worthless pillow or mat!

Old Scam Styles

Note: These are styles of scamming that were used before the trade conformation button was installed. If you see anyone trying these, report them but don't stress it. They'll never get anywhere using these styles.

Appondale Museum - Many scammers take large groups to the Appondale Museum, telling them to click a certain pawprint extremely fast. This pawprint happens to be in the exact same location as the 'Accept' button for trades. This method can be used to trade any rare or desirable item on your trade list with a useless,cheap item.

Scammer's Den - Most scammers take one or two players to their dens and tell them to click any type of item sitting near the bottom of the screen. This method is similar to the Appondale Museum style and is more private, therefore scammers can actually ask players to put rare items on their trade list.

The Mt. Shiveer Ice Trick/Coral Canyon Hop-Bridge Trick - Some scammers take players to the ice pool in Mt. Shiveer or the jumping bridge in Coral Canyons and tell them to do an action (this usually changes for each scammer). Many different outcomes are known to happen this way. Beware.
