What is the island scam?

[chillv]

I plan on doing that to people on april fools day. I will start a tour, tell them to give me 1,000,000 bells and then end the tour and say "April fools!". So if you ever see someone doing exactky that on april fools day, just know it's me.

It happened to me once but luckily I didn't lose anything apart from 20k which I said was all my money!

I wasn't held hostage for money per-say. My only time I encountered being a victim in a hostage situation was when I was island hoping to find a bottle ship. The island was a full house when I came in. Unfortunately, there was one bossy character who demanded that I go on island tours with her. The other two visitors I assume were held hostage too till they played island games. O_O. So she did the ol'open the inventory menu so I couldn't leave via the docks. She left it on for sometime but was I was lucky enough to escape because she took a break to type something to me.

I would probably just troll and speak French for awhile if I did have something of value to me in the basket. Otherwise I would flick the switch. XD

It's a stupid scam anyhow...no one sells the bugs they catch at the island because they don't get much for them.That's like trying to rob a liquor store for $1.

You know, I think if I ever were to be put in one of those scam situations, I'd type out pornographic fanfiction until they got weirded out and left or something.

^This.
Is the best idea ever.

 

[MadisonCrossing]

I really hope no one falls for this and gives their bells away..

I'm sure others would be suspicious. If not...I don't want to sound rude, but really, it's their own fault. I pity everyone, whoever it happens to; thankfully, mostly everyone learns their lesson after the first time!

Um...what? You can make over 400k in one trip beetle hunting lol

 

[Summ3rain]

Sure it may lose me 400k of bugs, but I refuse to be bullied. After all this is just a game and they can't physically hurt me in any way. Nobody should give in to these people, even if it means losing bells. It will just encourage them furthur if you do.

No, I think she means they don't sell them at the island. To Leila.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I wish I could speak a different language. I'd love to troll the trolls.

 

[scarletempress]

German's a nice way to scare people. This one guy did it and I started capsing random german words and they finished the tour and we left LOL. But if I had pockets of sharks and beetles I would drop like "heres all of it" because I also deposit most of it so I have like.. 200 only at any time... XD.

Hahaha oh my god, I'll start doing that (though I do know some German words).

 

[ketchupluver]

This idea says it all.

Well this girl (Alicia from A.M.Town) started cutting down all the trees and I decided to escape on a tour but she was talking to Grams which didn't allow me to leave. So I AFK'ed and waited for 5 mins, after that she was gone...
