Hello everyone!
If you're looking for the stuff on Crane Feathers, the next WCC story, scroll down to the post below.
Anyway, I have two things here to tell you:
1. An old way of scamming has been resolved.
2. A new way of scamming has appeared.
The old way that was resolved was the 'click the pillow' routine. Now, after the thing that shows the trade and has the accept/deny buttons, there's another one that says 'Are you sure you want to accept this trade?' with the buttons in the CENTER of the screen instead of lower corner, etc.
The new way of scamming that has come about is what I call 'team scamming'. I just heard about this method from someone I've known for a long time (although I won't mention any names).
Here's how it works:
Two people team up and one decides to play as (or, in my friend's case, was forced to. The situation that would have resulted would have been... bad, to say the least) the 'no-chat' person.
So what they do is the other one finds a person with a rare item and tells them something like, 'Hey! My friend might want to trade something with you for that item. They don't have free chat, see, and their trade buttons don't work, but my friend has ___(rare item name here)___ that you might like to trade for that.'
If the person says that they're interested, they give the item by Jam-A-Gram to the 'non-chat' person.
Then, if they have an item that everyone has (in my friend's situation a fruit bowl became a candy basket, and the candy basket was given to the friend to give her that) they'll send that instead. Then they give the item to the chat person (somewhere else. Otherwise the person will see they scammed and report them before they leave). Probably they then repeat the process, switching roles, to make it fair, if both are willing.
So... those of you that are members, watch out! This form of scamming can probably work on non-members too, except that they won't give an item in return (even in member trades they might not). So, thus, if you see two members walk up to you saying something like this, head to your own (locked) den or teleport to a friend on a different server. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY JAM-A-GRAM TRADES. THEY WILL NOT BE FAIR AND UNFORTUNATELY CAN'T BE REGULATED BY ANIMAL JAM TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE FAIR.
One problem resolved, another created!
Well, it's a start!
Bye for now!
So that's the team scamming you met about earlier today...
ReplyDelete@ Darling:
ReplyDeleteAnd don't mention any names... but the person you saw with me was the one that was involved in it. And the situation... I won't even bother to hint at it. It was BAD.
Betcha dont know who made that up and spread it! Who else?
ReplyDelete@Woodswolf
ReplyDeleteOh that person in Coral Canyons then yeah...
Thank you for telling me! I think there's a third way though...I'm not sure what it is though.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad...Someone forced me to do that scamming...There was nothing I could do...I had to...That person lost 2 rares...
ReplyDeleteWELL THAT'S BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI dont scam anymore but i still have a 80 person scam clan called The night whisperers. I come up wth new ways to scam and tell it to them in coded messages :)
ReplyDelete@ Silverstorm:
ReplyDeleteA THIRD way?
Well, there's still the old fashioned Jam-A-Gram scamming... again, it's only profitable for members.
@ Little Magicfriend:
Well, it wasn't you I was talking about... but, well... maybe you both had the same situation. Maybe I could set up a counseling program or something like that?
@ Hjackler:
Well, here's a method you could try:
Make up a fake way to scam that DOESN'T work... and give it to them. Then say that that's the only way that scamming works anymore. Then they'll all give it up... hopefully.
@Hjackler
ReplyDeleteI hate those people....
@darling, Yeah i think you had a run in wth my assistant once..... @woodswolf, yeah, but then my clan would fall apart. i plan all the robberies and they fulfill thyem. its flawless. our security is in pregnable A2 silver storm Actually there is 7 ways, All invented by me :)
ReplyDelete@ Hjackler:
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda the point. No one wants it to happen. :|
Ugh.No one likes scammin but me. fine.... ill stop operations for now. But i cant control any outside scam forces i can only control my 80. Ill give everyone a 4 day vacation. that will give you guys 4 days to come up with a defense. I'll help all i can :)
ReplyDelete@ Hjackler:
ReplyDeleteHow about you just tell me your scamming methods so that I can post them and everyone can avoid them?
@Hjackler
ReplyDeleteI just said there was a third way, I never said there wasn't a fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh.
@woodswolf, That would put my clan outta work. i would have to make up some more. I'll tell you one way. the others remain secret for now. @ silverstorm ohhh ok :) i just wanted ta let ya know. My clan has to go on....... the king hjackler has to live SOMEHOW. yeah yeah yeah, i know, its pride, of course im proud of what i built! you all would be too if you were me. You cant honestkly say that if you were the scam/hack king, you would hate it :) lol true true true.

ReplyDelete@ Hjackler:
ReplyDeleteAnd I can understand that. But all great empires crumble somehow... Like the Egyptians. Their empire died when the Romans invaded. Well, your empire may have to fall when the non-scammers invade.
@ Silverstorm:
And I can vouch for that.
Ha. That wont happen :) well it might someday. But right now My clan is goin full steam. Sorry guys, but you have the things you like and so do i. If non-scammers attack there gonna get whupped. Nough said :)
ReplyDelete@ Everybody:
ReplyDeleteWell, here's a way to be safe, just for everyone to know:
ONLY USE THE TRADING SYSTEM. THE TRADE BUTTONS WORK FOR EVERYONE. DON'T BELIEVE SOMEONE WHO TELLS YOU THEY DON'T!
Woodswolf, because scamming is NOT nice why did you take Hjackler as a Mod? Well its okay if you let him stay as a Mod but... Well just forget it if you dont understand...

ReplyDeleteKinda stupid what some people will do, right?
@all jammers reading this comment:
ReplyDeleteIf a jammer asks ya to trade by jam a gram or normaly and says if you say no she/he will report you say YES. Its worth it. Even if its somethin you REALLY like. Its ok if you say no but im SURE your gonna be banned cause that actually REALLY happend with my friend's account and she was banned for TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!! So if that type of scammin happens to you say YES.(if you do not wanna get banned but maybe you wont. I said MAYBE)
