Uh, OK...

[Mr. Marowak]

So I went into Cherry's house. She asked if I was willing to help her repay a debt, and tried to sell me something. It was a famous painting. I thought, "you mean the Da Vinci painting?". It was. Unfortunately, it was fake! That dirty scoundrel, tryna rip me off with something so beautiful...

 

[lauraplays1]

That happened to me.
Didn't speak to Hopper for nearly a week after that.

I KNEW IT! Cherry must be part of the nefarious organization of Black-Clad rogues, called oWn!

Spoiler: In case you were wondering...

It's a Cult of Personality thing.

 

[tobi!]

Chief gave me three legit paintings so when Wolfgang tried to sell me one, I went "Okay. Your cranky counterpart has been good to me."

BS you little liar.

 

[lauraplays1]

Villiagers are evil.
Except Gala.
We can hang out

 

[Mayor-Hazel]

that happen to me, i payed 10,000 bells for a painting from Marshal (i mean it is Marshal, i was gonna say yes of course)


and it was a fake... wow them little scammers are better than Crazy Redd!

 

[FireNinja1]

Sad what happens. No way to tell what's real and what's fake.

 

[jupisan]

That happened to me too but I go to retail and shell tell you if its a fake or real by the way.

 

[Xita]

It's always a gamble. I remember the first time I found a fake through that. Lionel met the fury of my net.

 

[bloomwaker]

I feel like if that happened to me, I'd use the fake paintings to decorate my house. 10K bells isn't too hard to make, so I may as well look at the positives.

 

[Raven28]

They sometimes say they don't know if it's fake or not before they sell it to you. I'd like to give the the benefit of the doubt and hope they really don't know. We're friends after all... I hope. lol

 

[Shimmer]

Loooooool man that sucks!

I've never gotten a fake piece of art from a villager. What a sneaky gal!

 

[Mayor-Hazel]

i think it is really rude of villagers to do that to you, after all that time you waste to tend to their needs they turn around and do this! how rude lol

 

[Tasuot]

I also got tricked out by Fang, lmao. He offered a painting to me and I thought he was being a true homie.
I go to the museum to donate it...and I find out it's fake. Gee, thanks Fang...great looking out bro. -_-

 

[daiyuflower]

Yep, Marshal just conned me out of 7k for a fake painting as well >_< I did get a genuine one from him yesterday, which was why I thought I could trust him...

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

10,000 bells for a painting from Marshal

...

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! He's SCAMMING us now! This may be the LEAST of what he's done in your town so far...

Spoiler: What ELSE can he do!?

He was directly responsible for the destruction of one of the towns back in August of 2013, and at least Celestia survived, but nobody else who lived here did. The next thing he did was pay a (rather shocking) visit to the Roost. He also manipulated Biskit to jump off the cliff back in October of that year. He just LOVES to manipulate people to do the most SHOCKING of things, but one particular offender is a girl whose name starts with "M". Maybe THAT'S why so many people like him. He sports extremely powerful magic abilities and a siren-like ability to charm or otherwise manipulate others. No wonder he's often called The White Siren in more rural towns...

 

[Togekiss]

That's why I never buy it from them, no matter how much I love them, unless it's a painting that's always real.

 

[Becca617]

Most times my villagers give me real paintings. Does this have to do with how high your friendship level is with them? Now I'm curious..

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

Villagers will tend to do that but iv'e gotten lucky with my villagers
so far Tom and Roco both gave me the real-deal paintings!~

God bless my town xD
