If someone invites you to their town to pick up island tour scavenger hunt lists (if I'm understanding this correctly), please do not pick them up and leave their town immediately. For those who are weary and unsure of someone's intentions, to be safe, you can just hit the wireless switch instead of saving through leaving the gate, if they're acting suspiciously. This won't hurt your game or lose any of your progress, since you've already saved before visiting another town previously.
You can not take them out of your pockets or sell them, no matter what, unless you're a hacker. Animal Crossing has been exploited recently and while most people who hack aren't out there to ruin your game but improve their own, there are probably going to be some people who are inevitably going to take it in a malicious way. I would hate to see any of you ruin your game and experience because of some jerks who don't have any remorse for their actions, so please spread the word. My fiance let me be aware of this, so here's a post that he found (I'm keeping this person anonymous, because I'm not sure if they're being serious or joking BUT this can be a very real situation at the same time):
I'm not sure how this goes, since I didn't think those lists were able to be held outside the island, but I'm assuming that hackers can do this regardless of the game's coding. Don't let this ruin your gaming experience though, you will not be affected as long as you do not pick up anything unnatural in their town. They can not force you to pick up these items. Thank you for reading this and be safe out there, everyone! :c
EDIT: After doing some research, it looks like there is no current way to seed someone's town yet. This is when a person comes to your town and plants an item that makes you infinitely faint in a loop (as if being bitten or stung) or cannot even start the game. It might come in the future, but I don't know for sure. New Leaf's coding might be different from WW & CF, but stay on your toes! In the meantime, please do not pick up any unnatural items in other people's towns that look suspicious to you.
EDIT 2: Everyone, it's a little silly to never go online again or let anyone in your town, because they can't seed you like in previous games. Picking an item up is entirely optional and the only threat here! If you're trading someone flowers or items, it'll be an item or flower, not a disguised hack. After reading up on it more, it's apparently impossible to turn rocks or other non-holdable items in your pockets (which caused bricking in previous games). I'm not 100% sure that these lists are un-removable because I have never tested it. I'm only warning people because of something a hacker said could be a possibility. Please don't let this ruin your fun. It's completely avoidable.
***Trading in your town should be completely safe, as the hacker wouldn't be able to drop un-disposable items into your town! Thank you, Jinglefruit!***
