Bad club tortimer experiences

I have quite a few.
The very first bad experience I had was when I ended up on a Japanese island. I was island hopping looking for the toy hammer. There was some guy there, he spoke to me but he was typing in Kanji. So I told him, "I don't speak Japanese." He said something again but continued to type with the Kanji. Then eventually I noticed he was putting a lot of exclamation points into whatever he was saying. Then typed a bunch of gibberish like "asdfghjkl guoyrtj" at me before error in. At the time I thought it was weird. But now I realize that not only was he probably saying very rude things to me (since I wouldn't understand him), all that gibberish he spew was probably that little snot's way of making fun of my language -_-
Another time was when I was (again) island hopping. I don't know what in the world went on before I showed up, but some girl ran up to me and said that the guy outside told her he was gonna take her from her family and molest her (omg the craziness) or something like that, and that she was only eleven and he told her he was thirty-something. Then here he comes, calling her a liar and telling her to tell me the truth. She told him to shut up, he actually trapped us there and said he wouldn't let us go until she stopped lying. I errored.
Another time, some girl was bell begging. Not at first though. At first she was nice. We toured a bit, talked a little, then she asked and I said no. Then she started throwing a freaking tantrum, calling me all sorts of names (all because I wouldn't give her video game money, go figure). I told her she could keep calling me names and cursing all she wanted, she was just giving me more reason not to do it. Then she was like "Okay, you won't give me bells?" then she put on a qr tank shirt. One that was skin colored and had a poorly drawn, lopsided pair of boobs on them and said "Suck my teetees btch!!!" I flipped the switch too quickly.
This is why children shouldn't play online,I know they were kids. Even though some of these people never told me their age, I refuse to believe any adult would act this way.

I don't go very often, so the worst that's happened to me is some random girl telling me to add her so she can come to my town and she said, "Don't worry, I won't run through your flowers or anything!" which made me really uneasy. A second one was some random guy asking me for all my social media information. I lied and told him I didn't have anything because why would I give that stuff to a guy who only said "Hi" to me on Tortimer's Island?
Well, I never knew experiences on the island could ever be so bad! >.< That's so immature though, especially the last one. The second one is just far too creepy for my comfort levels.

Oh they can be! Some people even tell personal information. It can get uncomfortable, but thankfully there are good times too. I met two girls my age (I'm 20) and we traded friend codes and visited each other's towns. No stealing, no back stabbing. Just three girls having a good time. Lol if only it could always be that way.
That second experience of yours is creepy too, there's something wrong with people asking for that. No one needs a stalker.

After reading all this I might add a good experience even if this is abou bad experiences.
Anyway it started after meeting a few bell beggars. A new person came on the island and it was just them and me. She started annoying me by running around scaring the bugs and then digging holes around me (since I was afk for a short while). I told them to kindly piss off and leave me alone. They then walked in and back out and started dropping bags of bells???
So naturally, I picked them up once it started filling up the island. After picking up all the 7 million bells, I asked why she did that. She said she was sorry for annoyibg me and that it was fun to play some of the tours so we ended up trading our kiks and we kinda became friends after that

I personally wouldn't ever let anyone into my town that I didn't know (especially if I met them on that island)It's nice to make new friends and all,but not everyone can be trusted.It's experiences like this,that make me not want to invite anyone to my town at all.

My personal rule applies to everyone; even people I meet here with perfect feedback: I don't know you, so I'm following you around. I'm not offended when people follow me (or ask me to follow them) in their towns. I understand completely. We're strangers and trust takes a while to build. I've never had one person steal from me, either.

I've only used CT about 10 times, and have always had good experiences except for one time. There was a person there with the same mayor name as me at the time (Meadow). So I said "Hey, we have the same mayor name!" They got mad at me and told me that I stole their name and then was begging me and 2 other people for bells, which they gave to her. Was getting mad when we didn't want to do tours yet just so they could save their bells. I finally left because I couldn't handle it anymore, lol.
I've had more good experiences than bad!
Some funny, too. I went once and there was this dude dropping bells on the ground, going to the ABD, getting more and dropping them and these two girls were LOSING THEIR CRAP over it. They were running around him picking it all up, giving him the "heart" Club LOL emote.
It was ridiculous. I felt like I was in some shady strip-clubby part of AC:NL. XD
Then, there was this one time a kid was being so obnoxious "TELL ME HOW OLD YOU ARE! NOW!" And I just went along with it til he loosened up. I learned he was 8 and really excited to turn 9. He said he was looking forward to the next day because he'd be spending with his mom. When he found out I was an adult he asked me if it was fun being grown up. I told him I'd rather be eight and spending time with my mom than going to work. He ended up just being an adorable kid.
Try to remember a LOT of these are just kids and kids are obnoxious and have no idea how to act. Give them a chance, lol.

I'm pretty sure they advise you somewhere to not tell people personal information. That sounds fun though, I'm glad you actually met some nice people there! True though, I wish everyone could be kind and respectful. Unfortunately there are so many weird/creepy/suspicious people that it makes me uneasy about anyone from CT asking to come to my town.

you can do anything
when you visit your town's Island, you can buy a pass to Club Tortimer, which is basically the same as your Island, except its on Nintendo's servers so you can interact there with other players, and they also have items for sale there that are exclusive to Club Tortimer.

also- it gives you a choice of visiting Club Tortimer for your own continent, or one that is "International"

My story is quite old, but I still remember it:
There was a girl on the island who was begging me to give her the jacob's ladder I was wearing. She said that she would pay me 10,000 bells. I trusted her and accepted the deal. What a fool was I!
After giving her the flower, she went something like "What payment? Why should I give you bells?" and then proceded to leave. I've stopped her and told "You either pay or get an error". Once again, she started to beg me not to turn my wi-fi off. The girl "agreed" to give me 10,000 bells, but after dropping the bell bag, that liar immediately picked it up and ran off to the desk. Guess what I did! (Hint: Unlike her, I've actually kept my promise).
Even to this day, it's the only time someone tried to scam me (Probably that's why I remember this story).
I hope something like that never happens to me again.

They sure do, it's the first thing Kap'n tells you before you go to Club Tortimer for the first time. Guess they just don't listen or see the harm in it. I feel you, I don't like CT people coming to my town either. Only reason I trusted them was because they told me they're iffy about CT people too, and they weren't kids lol.
This is why I never use Club Tortimer for things like bug hunting or fishing, too many trolls looking for a quick laugh. I always just use my island for it. The only time I go to CT is to island hop for the exclusive items to buy than bounce. Like, if someone if already on the island I go too, I leave asap. Most can't even get a word in before I've started the departure, lol. I just have 0 trust when it comes to that place, lol.
The heck, honestly who would do that, or say that. Like if it was a joke, its a sick joke, and if it was legit it's even worse! Like, why? A part of me really hopes it was just some sick joke and that the person wasn't giving out info. I was in CT once where they were like "i live here and go to --- school". And I was like "what the heck, dont give out info like that." and they replied with "nothing bad will happen grow up.." I was just like..omfg you serious. Like I'm well into my 20s and I never give out more info than age and state, because like a ton of 23 year old live in Georgia, will take good guessing to find me. But they were giving out school names, street names and everything like begging for kidnapping. It was like that moment I was like if I had a kid and they just willy-nilly gave out their info like that, they'd end up with just a bed and dressers in their room like...maybe a night light. 0 access to anything for them, like no.
What a little snot! I really hate bell beggers, especially ones who default to insults thinking it will get them anywhere. Like I now go to the island looking poor af in the game: messy hair, mismatched cloths. Specifically to make people not want to ask me for bells, and when they do i drop a single coin like "thats all I got mate, sorry" and bounce quickly out of there, lol!

Exactly! Like that isn't freaking cool :/ I was confused as hell and was trying to stay out of it, but they kept roping me in. A lot of kids play this game for Christ's sake, what's wrong with people?? I hope so too, I really really do. She actually gave all that away? Oh my gosh that's dangerous! Of course something bad could happen, he could have lived in that area! They think just because they're over a game they're safe, that isn't true
. I'm with you there, if they don't know how to keep quiet about personal info, then they don't need Internet access. Nothingggg.Yes ikr?! D:< Like, my God, it's just a game sweetheart. Why so serious? Another girl trapped me and asked for bells once. She called me a jerk but let me leave immediately. That wasn't bad so I didn't share it, but that one was just obnoxious. I would so do that too lol xD but I don't know if anyone would believe I'm poor. Since I have the silver bell saver badge. I need to try that last one though lol that sounds like it would be funny xD
