Did you guys use the Re-Tail method to transfer bells? As in, did you put up items for a high price that they would then buy from you? If so; it takes a day for the bells to be transferred to your bank account. So your bells are safe.

If that's not how you did it, then I'm not sure what happened.
I haven't been scammed but I've had things stolen.
I had couple of friends over and they seemed nice and everything but after they leave I'll notice a rare flower is missing, a wet-suit has gone or a tree has been chopped.
Whenever I asked them about it, they'll swear they never done it.. but I know I certainly haven't misplaced them.
It's sad how those who appear they're super friendly will go behind your back and quickly snipe something and claim to be innocent.
It really makes me nervous to have anyone visit now cause I work hard on my town and have quite the few rare flowers and items around my town and I don't want fake friends stealing them.
Strangely enough the one friend I was the most close with, admitted to me after nearly a year of knowing each other, that when she first meet me she was planning on robbing me. I defiantly saw her in a different light after that and even though she claims she's changed, I still have keep my eye on her. Also the things that have been stolen from me, she claims she hasn't took.. so either she's lying or I have another unknown thief on my friend-list.
this is why I don't let people into my main town anymore except very good friends I've known a long time. I've never had anything stolen but I have a lot of rare hybrids and easily stolen things around town and I don't want to take the risk.
I tend to think of scammers as little kids. It's probably the only way they can either have fun, or get the things they want. They don't know how else to do it. Not that I have sympathy for them, but I just don't really let them get to me when I realize they are immature and have some real growing up to do.
It's obviously not fun when someone scams. I've never had it happen to me, but then again I was SUPER careful and paranoid. I've actually pulled the wifi switch on a couple of people that just ran past me in a trade and started wondering around my town. They would write me and say what happened. And I told them, look sorry but I don't know you. You were here to do a trade, so there's no reason why you would have run off without telling me where you were going. If they got offended, sorry, but you need to know proper etiquette when you go to someone's house IRL, so it's the same in the game. Have some manners!
Anyway, if being a scammer is how you want to play the game, then I think you'll get bored fast. There are always people to scam, and it might be a momentary high...but if you're just bringing negativity, you're going to miss out on all the real fun you could be having. Life can be sucky a lot of the time, so why bring more negativity? Try to do something nice for someone instead and see how their happiness and gratitude makes you feel. That might be more fun. Look at the free cycler threads, for example. Or the giveaway threads. There's a reason why people do those things. Because it's fun and they get POSITIVE attention from others.

BTW, I don't mean "you" since you said you've changed your ways. I meant a general "you" as in all the scammers.
