Scam Experience

She restarted her town so all my hybrids..

punch her in the face then
or buy hybrids off somebody here

have you asked him/her about it?

why do people say 'he/she' instead of them its much easier

i had merengue in boxes a long long time ago and i had some ppl over for a giveaway and i told them i was gonna afk for about 30 mins cause i had to wash dishes and one of them actually asked merengue to move to their town
its not really a scam but it suuuucked, i didnt even tell anyone merengue was in boxes ;-;

this is why you dont leave your town unattended, no matter how much you trust the people whos in your town

I usually have items on the ground and I get lazy trying to pick them up, so when I have friends over they decide it's ok to steal them from me, so in the end I just reset or if I can't get a hold of my items(because of saves) I delete them. :/

one day, get the motivation to pick up all your junk and put it away
prob not all at once if picking up some stuff is too much for you
taking time to do that will be worth it esp if scammers/thieves come in or whatever
 
Was never scammed before but I did have a bunch of people come over so I could try to get the train upgrade (still don't have it ugh) and someone ran over my gold roses, I still don't know who did it tho.

I'm trying to get the train station upgrade too :c we can help each other if you'd be okay with that!
I've never had problems with people running in my town so far but there's always that risk with multiple people over at once. I try to only have one person at a time but sometimes people showing up un-invited during the middle of a trade is impossible to avoid. Just saving and quitting to end the session then having the other person come back later, I guess.

I wouldn't mind that~ Just need to find my 3DS charger >~>, and yea, I only do one person at a time now because of that.

You can talk to Porter to close the gate after the person you want to trade with has arrived. That way, no other visitors will show up.
 
Almost scammed just now and my heart is still racing :C this user on here is running a shop and halfway through dropping bells i asked where my items were, she said in front of her house, she starts leading me then tried to end. I barely flicked the switch in time...i can't believe it. Now i'm being harrassed in a PM

Honestly think my trading days are going to be on hold for a bit...no more trading with newbies with less than 5 wifi ratings

i've been here since April of last year but nobody ever rates me after wi-fi so people still think i'm a newb :(
 
noooo why you're so cool :c

look how many positive ratings you have, and there's only ONE bad one. people know better than that. i like you! you should stay!

still looks really bad though and i'm upset about it..i already asked the user to discuss things peacefully but they told me they hated me etc.

I'm sorry to hear that :( I would be upset if I got a bad rating, too. You should contact a mod about it if you haven't already.

Looking at that user's profile VM, it's pretty darn obvious they are scammers, or at least incredibly shady.
Don't bother reasoning, cos you can't, and shouldn't waste more time on the likes of them.
Just put them on your ignore list and move on?

Also, what are the mods' explanation on this?
It can't possibly be your fault that some shady user's trying to scam you.
The other user in that thread had the same thing happened to them after they dropped payment, I think.

Working on it now..unfortunately couldn't get it resolved right away, discussing things now with the user. Hoping to get it removed.

disregard it's being worked out
 
Never been scammed (apart from Redd) because I don't do too many trades, but I have had hybrids go missing in the past. Its just silly because I often have spares of hybrids and I don't mind helping a friend out!
 
I've never been scammed, but I'm pretty sure I accidentally scammed someone once. It was when I was new to selling villagers. But it wasn't completely my fault.
 
Hmm, actually I've been almost scammed once. I was going to get the gorgeous set from someone, and they were doing another trade with someone for the sweets set. The person had the other person drop the bells first, and then when I got to their town (and on the way there it automatically saved the game), the host kicked both of us out. The other person got scammed out of 1.6 mil bells, and I was really shocked because had it been me, I would have been scammed out of more than 2 million. The host got my hopes up, too, because I had been looking for the gorgeous set for awhile. I was really disappointed :/

Not to mention, this person made several other accounts to try to sell sets to scam other people. He got banned on here, thank goodness.
 
why do people do it? HAVE THEY NO SOUL?

ok that's a bit intense sorry

but it's still pretty low to feel the need to scam somebody for items/money in a videogame where possibilities are endless. it's not like they're getting real money out of it.. and even if they were, that's a horrible way to go about doing things..

irl scams = legal troubles
 
We've all got scammed by Tom nook..

"Ok 10,000 bells for a house! Now expand! 90,000 more bells! Expand again! 120,000 bells! 198,000 bells! 298,000 bells! 398,000 bells! 498,000 bells! 598,000 bells! Now youve paid off your home loan! Buy exteriors and expand the exterior of your house! Also buy more furniture from my newphews shop so I get more money!"

xD cheapskate
