Scam Experience

I also try to not trade with people who don't have good feedback or very little. I know I haven't been a member for too long, and that I myself don't have a whole village worth of feedback but I just don't trust people that are really new. The only way I'll budge is if I see them posting a ton and actually spending time on the sight.
I have two stories since I've been here but none of them are actually scams.
First off, in my first week of being a TBT member there was a user having a raffle for 500k that I had won. He closed the thread after announcing winners and then vanished into the night.
My second experience was just the other day in someone else's town. They were offering people to come into their town and pick up as many items as they wanted for 10k. I picked up a few Jingle items and then waited around to see if anyone would start taking the Gyroids (there were like 60+ of them). No one took them so I eventually just started picking all of them up. Everything was fine until I accidentally sat on their town tree. I got stuck there and had to watch credits for like five minutes. Sucked because the person was actually trying to disconnect to start a trade. I felt soooo bad.

The second story happened in my town. And dont worry, it was only slightly annoying. I thought maybe u were idle or something xD

I have experienced this too especially early on, the only comment I disagree with is if visiting someone else's town and they run in thier town or let you, aka don't have paths, I don't do paths. I don't trample but I do walk free in my town but would never not be cautious in someone else's you can't judge how someone walks in their town to thier manner would be in yours if they aren't a "path" person.

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
That's rough.
I've left way more feedback than I've received, but I still have over 20. I've been here less than a month, and I've been meeting people since my first day.

Luckily I haven't been scammed and hopefully I never do. It's just a cruel thing to do. When I host trades I keep a close eye on the person. I feel bad a little because I don't think anyone likes being watched but I just do it to be careful. I use to let random ppl come to my town so I could get the train station upgrade and it wasn't so bad. The only bad part was when I lost sight of one person I'd immediately freak out hoping none of my hybrids would get stolen.
It's a bad thing for me, I have negative rating when I didn't do anything wrong, i purchased tomodachi life demo and they gave me 3 faulty codes and scammed me out of 25 MILLION bells and gave me a negative rating for no reason, I doubt anyone will believe me but I really truly am honestly an honest person and will never scam anyone, I have perfect trading records at 2 other online forums with over 500 trades completed on other sites and not one issue. It's unfortunate because every trading thread I post is ignored now for a reason that wasn't even my fault, I tried for 2 months to work it out with the person but they blocked me and never returned my 25 million, they left me with about 500,000 bells, it was really horrible and it took forever to earn a decent amount again.
So someone came over to landscape my town and they actually did a really good job, so i paid him and he left, but i left my gates open so he came back and I was in my house fixing up, so i ran over, and said goodbye and all and ended, but he purposely caused a wifi error so all the work done in my town was gone...

But if he left once, it would have saved at least some of the work right?
Like PlasticPinkPiggy said, if he left then the session still would have saved
so I think the landscaping should still be all there, unless you meant something else happened...purple_cupcakes

Luckily, I have never been scammed. c:
I love ACNL, but to think that people would be scam others over something that is just a game...
I dunno it just makes me feel sad ^~^

I've never been scammed. When people visit my town I usually patrol around the area (I don't really like following people, it's awkward for me). If something is missing, I would know since every inch of my town is covered in some form.
On reddit.
I arranged to trade Maple for Punchy with someone. I was at ten so I needed her to get Maple first. So she came and got him and said she'd open her gates. Left and never opened up...through the whole wifi, her wifi never cut once. For awhile she didn't respond and once I reported her...she tried to come up with a long story on how her internet was out and she lost him. But she never offered to let me try to collect him from void so I'm sure she never even had him. She also was trying to scam other people from previous posts so.
That's about it. I did a giveaway and some pink roses were gone. Though I couldn't say whether someone really took them or if they ran over them. Some generous people coming for the giveaway brought me some hybrids though on TBT which they didn't need to do. People here are really rather kind. Haven't had bad experiences.
I've had people from trades with large bell amounts lay down bells and at the end realizing they didn't factor in the 1k from only laying 99k bags. So the total amount ends up being off but honestly it doesn't upset me...so I've never really given a bad rating for it. Though when I trade large amounts of bells...I make sure to add up the 1k's so the total agreed amount is given.

I tend to be a little backwards when it comes to protecting my flowers, I once left a gold rose out in the open to distract thieves from my orange and purple roses that I had out. It worked though, someone stole the gold rose when I was letting people sell perfect apples on premium (free of charge I might add but I was accepting tips) and someone called Grace offered to leave two baskets as a tip but didn't (I stated it was free of charge so that was unnecessary), picked up the gold rose, put it down oddly enough, paid off a public works project, then stole the rose again and left. I could've stopped her but I didn't really care, I would've let her take the rose anyway if she had asked. The pwp wasn't anything big, I think it was a rack of rice that had been partially paid off already so it didn't really make up the value of the rose but for my first thief she wasn't too bad.
When Katt sold me a painting for 300 bells and it was fake
OMG. LOL.
