I never got scammed on purpose, but somebody owes me 100 million Bells for holding onto his items (as he promised). I gave the items back, but he still hasn't paid. Some people believed that he was a scammer, and I didn't realize. So technically, I was scammed, but I wasn't grudging about it.

People these days , instead of scamming someone or owing they could have just asked . Instead of offering of what they won't give .

Someone tried scamming me (a scam attempt imo). I was tired and wanted to end the session but a user was shopping and she was like "i have an idea!" and i was like "what?" and she was like "leave your 3ds on while i shop!" and i was like "HAHA NO WAY BYE" and ended the session.

I have never been scammed and I hope I never am. ;~;
I would never scam someone else.
Everyone is so friendly and giving on this website!
No one on here deserves to be scammed.

Like Apple2012's story, I'm sure if that person would've just posted asking someone to hold their stuff for free someone for sure would! I'm sure Apple2012 would've done it, for how they are not even holding a grudge for how they were treated.

There was a flower thief on game faqs about a year ago.After he was found out, he changed his user name and responded to one of my posts.Luckily I had written down his fc so i knew who he was.He was going to try to steal from me as well.He wouldn't have gotten very far though.I always follow visitors when doing a trade.Anyway, that's the closest iv'e ever come to being scammed.

Oh wait......A long time ago, I went to the Island and did some tours with this sweet little girl.I was wearing a new years hat and some Gracie boots.After hanging out for at least 30 minutes, she asked if she could catalog my hat and boots. She promised to give them back. I placed them on the ground and was about to type that she could keep them, but she ran inside the building and started to leave.I could have flipped the wifi, but I didn't really care that she took them.

I don't think it was intentional but someone did promise me a dreamie for helping them with something. Afterwards they told me that they would PM me when she was in boxes. I got an update a day or two later that said she should be in boxes within the next few days. Never heard from them again.

I honestly would have helped them for free so I never said anything but it kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have them make promises and not keep them.

I recently got scammed by an old friend that I added like a year ago. I went to his town and he always asked for hybrids but I usually said no.

Then I left my 3ds open while I went out for a bit, not realising my gate was open. The person stole 43 Blue roses (all that I had at the time). At first I thought it was someone on TBT, but then when i went to his town, i saw all the roses in a pile by his plaza. The exact amount he took. He then flicked the switch when I told him scamming was wrong and then he deleted me.

I also thought he was a really good friend! I hope nobody else gets scammed like that ~

Somebody on here I knew tried taking my perfect apples. Don't even remember their name anymore. I had a lot and I worked hard planting them all over my town. Got the game on release so it took me probably a week to cover my town, and I wasn't even time travelling. Had to turn off my wi-fi, they started like harassing me about it so I just blocked them off everything.

We can never trust friends these days

I was scammed by user D1tzy just the other day. I won an auction for a Mermaid set at 8 million bells. I went to her brothers town (which should have been a red flag) and dropped off the bells. She was going to bring the set there. Then her brother saved and disconnected. I should have read the Wi-Fi rating because it was not 100%. That was my fault, but honestly I have never had a problem before so I didn't even think of it. Later she blocked me and then tried to VM me, knowing I cannot answer her, and said what equates to "oops I forgot I only had 2 Mermaid pieces". Ok??

It sucks being scammed! It's not even the bells that bother me, its the act of stealing. I would have seriously just given them some bells if they had asked.

What sucks is that the user is still active and was even trying to sell the Mermaid set even after she scammed me. She even admitted to scamming me here! I don't like thieves! :/

People can be real jerks! You worked hard for those. I can't even imagine. I only have like one basket of my towns perfect fruit because I'm lazy. Good on you for blocking them!
