Scams -_-

(These are in no particular order)

1.) It's My Birthday Scam
This one is very common. Basically, people stand around Jamaa and say "It's my birthday. Send me stuff!". Unless you are 100% sure it actually is their birthday and you know them, we wouldn't recommend sending them anything. If you are a generous person and you want to send them things, don't send rares.

2.) Send Me This and I'll Send a You That Scam
Like the last scam, this scam is pretty common. Pretty much, people say "If you send me _____ , I'll send you _____ " (Usually they offer a rare).  After you send them something, they log off and delete you as a buddy. Unless you know and TRUST this person, don't send them anything.

3.) I'm Poor Scam
We don't see this as often as the other two, but it is still is common. Someone says "I'm poor. Send me stuff". Sometimes they have nothing on and the default animal colors on, nothing on their trade list, and no achievements. Still, this could be a storage account or a randomly-made account. NEVER send them anything.

4.) I Decline All Trades Scam
There are two types of this scam. The first one is where a person just says "I decline all trades. Try me". The second type is where they promise something to the best declined trade. They're just doing this so they get rares. Again, unless you know the person, DON'T DO IT.

5.) I Got Scammed Scam

I see this one pretty often, too. The person says "I got my _____ scammed. Please send me another one." Most likely, they still have that item and they just want a duplicate; or they never had that item and want one.

6.) Gem/Diamond/ Membership Code Scam

I don't see this one as often. Basically, a person says "If you send me a _____ , I'll give you a gem/diamond/membership code. The only type of a code a person can give out is a gem code, and
you can get those for free on our blog. :) AJ hasn't put out a diamond code before, and AJ does not allow people to sell their membership codes.

7.)  Make Me Look Silly Scam

A person says "Send me items to make me look silly!". Most of the time, they won't even wear your item and will run away with it!

What Is A Scam?
A scam is where someone tries to steal your items by tricking you. It's like stealing in real life, and I don't know why people like to do it.
