Scams and Hacks

So I'm sure everyone got scammed like at least once right? Yea it's perfectly normal... I admit, I got scammed more than one can count and I got hacked twice.... Yes, the first time I cried and begged ajhq for my stuff back xD the second time I juz didn't care... I was bound to get hacked again anyway.

So I decided to make a list of scams and hacks that I experienced and we all should be aware of... (No pics sorry Dx)

1) The Trust Trade 

Yes... We have all been scammed by this and unfortunately, it's still going on! It's become so serious, even AJHQ warned us about it.... In case any of u don't know, a trust trade is when someone asks u to trust that they will decline ur really really big trade.... First few times they will decline but once they gained enough trust, someone is bound to trade the item they target and they will accept... Keep in mind that whoever says 'Omg they declined my [high rarity item]' is the same person as the scammer. 

2) The Flash Trade 

AJHQ may hv delayed the appearance of the accept button in a trade request... But keep in mind that the scammer may hv installed the Auto Accept mod.... This is when someone flashes an item, the mod will automatically accept the trade regardless if the accept button is there.. So be careful :) 

3) Trade Glitch

We all know animal jam is really glitchy these days... There's even a glitch in the trading system... It's when someone gives u an over trade along with a store bought item for ur item... Let's say.. They trade a black long spike and a store bought necklace for ur pink long collar... Of course u would accept, but when u accept, u will glitch out and forced to refresh... Once ur back online, ur pink long would be gone and all u hv is their store bought necklace.... So don't always accept an over trade for smthg valuable to u :) 

4) Borrowing stuff 

I'm sure it's pretty obvious xD it's when someone asks to "try on" ur item but then they don't give it back 

5) Giving membership/item codes

This is a way to hack someone... It's when someone promises a membership code for free if u give them ur password... Then once they get into ur acc, they will take everything u hv... 
Sometimes when someone promises me a membership, I would give them an empty non member account to see if they rlly put membership or not... Most the time, they would say the code has problems redeeming... So don't trust anyone that gives out "free" membership or item codes 

5) Reduce Lag

Ok so since these days animal jam is very laggy, there are some ppl who would offer to reduce the lag of ur animal jam... And they would usually ask for some type of code from "Inspect Element"... Don't give it xD they can use that code to get ur password and get into ur animal jam and take all ur stuff... So be careful with whoever offers to help 

So that is the list of scams and hacks that I hv experienced... But basically, juz don't trust anyone on animal jam xD there's scams and hacks everywhere 
Be careful out there and happy jamming!
