Hey, Jammers! My friend got scammed, so I contacted AJ HQ to let them know. They gave some great advice that I'd like to share with all you Jammers out there who have been scammed. You may also give this advice to other Jammers and friends who can then prevent being scammed.
AJ HQ's Advice to Prevent Scamming:
-Be sure never to give out your password, even if someone just wants to “see what it’s like to play your animal!” You wouldn’t trust a stranger with your toys, why trust them with your Animal Jam account?
give you something in return does not mean that they will.
-If someone tries to scare you in to giving away your items, report them and walk away! Those are YOUR items and nobody should make you feel bad about keeping them. Animal Jam HQ will review your report and take necessary action if someone is trying to threaten you in to giving away your stuff.
-Create a safe and secure password! Using both letters and numbers, AND using both upper and lower case letters makes it more difficult for someone to guess your password.
-ONLY trade an item if you are SURE you want to get rid of it! You can always say no to a trade! It’s OK!
-ONLY do one trade at a time. Don't make a bad trade now because someone promises you a good trade in the future. Once you do one trade, there's no way to make them hold to their promise.
-ONLY use the Jam-a-Gram gifting system if you are SURE you want to give it away. Just because someone promises to send them, doesn't mean they will.
I hope AJ's advice helps you a lot! Remember to tell other Jammers and friends about it to help them, too!
Jam on, Jammers!
