Exactly!! I feel the same way ^_^I always am worried when someone from a trade just randomly runs straight into your town, does not respond to your messages and comes back a minute later saying that they were selling some things at Re-Tail, i just error everytime someone does that. I just can not trust those people in any possible way! They even look suspicious...
Anyone got the same or similar experience? I just can not stand those players!
Exactly!! I feel the same way ^_^
That's why whenever someone comes to my town, I watch them like a hawk unless they are really close friends.
But the people on here are nice, so I usually don't worry too much ^_^
I actually was kinda scammed a few days ago.
On Instagram there's an account called acnlpolice, and whenever someone scams them they send a message to acnlpolice, and then they post it on their page to warn people not to trade with them.
There was this one user called Simon.crossing. He had asked to play ACNL with me, so I said sure and we exchanged friend codes.
acnlpolice then posted a new picture saying that simon.crossing had scammed someone and stole all of their hybrids.
I took a picture of his 3DS profile, and sent it to ACNL police, just in case.
I then was cycling and had my gates open, because someone was coming to pick up Patty. First the person picking up Patty came, and then Simon.crossing just came in, and ran off. I was acting kinda crazy, so I flipped the switch. I apologized to the person picking up Patty, and then opened my gates again. I put out some bait hybrids to see if he really stole. The person picking up Patty came in, and then shortly after Simon.crossing came in. I saw him dash to the train station and I noticed my hybrids were gone. THEY WERE JUST BEING USED AS BAIT SO I DIDNT CARE IF HE TOOK THEM. I managed to take a picture of him in my town, and a picture of his TPC. I sent the information to acnlpolice, so that no one can get their stuff stolen from him.
I've had people try before but they haven't been successful. I had someone come over so they could grab a villager and they tried to take some of my rarer flowers with them.Needless to say, I caught them and flipped the switch. Also gave the villager to someone else because they sure didn't deserve the villager. I don't 'babysit' people but stealing my flowers is about the stupidest thing someone can do. When literally every open square of my town has either a path or flower in it, it's fairly obvious you've taken my flowers if there's empty spots suddenly.
I've had people on the island try to 'trap' me on the island and demand bells. Too bad for them, I'm not there to collect bells and just looking for items. So I have no problem flipping the switch on them since there's not really much for me to lose doing it.![]()
Lol i do not think that he can come to my town and get away too easy, i notice it fairly early when a flower is missing. And i always error when someone leaves without saying good bye or something... And omg they should make a acnl police thread here too with usernames of people you absolutely can not trust or should pay attention to.

OK, this isn't really scamming, but I'll tell it anyways..
So I went into Leonardo's house one day. He was suddenly in boxes! I never heard that he was moving, so I was pretty surprised..
I went onto acnladopt, submitted Leonardo's post, and a few hours later, I get two asks for Leonardo. I accepted one, ( I regret it because maybe the other asker would've been NICE.. ) added her, opened my gates, and she followed me to Leonardo's home. I went inside first, ( NEVER go inside first.. I learned that! ) waited for her to come, and she didn't come in. So, I went back outside Leonardo's house, and she wasn't there. I wandered up a little bit, freaked out, and flicked the switch. I freaked out SO bad, I deleted my tumblr.. Yeah, I'm like that. I deleted it because I was afraid she would say I flicked the switch when she was trying to adopt him, so I really freaked out.. That was my FIRST EVER experience online. That was this month.. I'm still nervous about visitors, but I still wanna play with someone LOL :/
Ah! That must've been a horrible feeling. Wondering what that person was doing. I think I would've done the exact same thing lol. But don't let that discourage you from allowing other visitors especially here on tbt because there are a lot of nice people here c:
