If you have ever played any online game that has in-game items, you have probably heard of the word “scam”, or “scamming”. Scamming basically means that you get tricked, and the person that tricked you just got their hands on something valuable of yours. Jammers should definitely be careful of scammers, as there are many of them in Animal Jam. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to stop all scammers, but I will teach you a thing or two so that you can keep your valuables safe. Let’s first take a look at some of the known Animal Jam scams.
Types of Animal Jam Scams
One of the most common scams in Animal Jam is called Best Trade Wins. The scammer will say something like “best trade wins my outfit”, and will follow that up with “I’m quitting”. They want to gain your trust, telling you to trade them your best item, since they will reward you with their outfit and they are quitting. In reality, they are not quitting at all. They want to steal your most valuable items, and never trade anything back for it.
A similar scam to best trade wins is called Make Me Accept. The difference between the two is that the scammer is daring you to force him to accept, basically making him an offer that he can’t refuse. Why would you even do that? They are obviously not going to decline. You will only lose your valuable items to scammers like this, and you should never trust them.
Another similar scam to best trade wins is called First Trade Wins. The scammer is daring you to be quick and trade him, making it look like he will reward you with something if you do so. Once you have traded with the scammer, you will obviously not win anything at all.
If someone asks you to trade a valuable item of yours for their worthless item, while making it seem like they won’t accept, it is called Trust Trading. They try to gain your trust, and keep saying things like “trust me” and “I won’t accept”. Be very careful of these types of scams! It is well known that people that keep saying “trust me” are almost always out to scam you out of your valuable Animal Jam items. To avoid this, never trust trade anyone in Animal Jam.
Sometimes, scammers will directly ask you to just trade them something. They claim that they will trade you back afterwards with something more valuable. This scam is called Gift Swapping. Often, the scammer will say that their trade doesn’t work, and that they will have to fix it later. Obviously, this isn’t true at all. Never trust anyone that says they will trade you at a later time. The trading system is there for this exact reason, so use it!
Another common scam in Animal Jam to be careful of is people asking to Borrow your item. They will make it look like they are trustworthy, but once you traded them, they will never give you your item back. You shouldn’t even borrow anything to your friends.
If you are walking around in the Animal Jam world, and you come across someone that says they are a famous Jammer, be very cautious. Scammers tend to create new accounts, make false claims that they are famous, and get you to trade items. They usually dress up as some of the more famous Jammers, making it look like they are actually famous too.

Always be careful of people asking you to Share Accounts with them. For starters, giving away your password is against the rules, but it also allows the scammers to take all of your items. Never share your personal information with anyone on Animal Jam.
When someone claims that their family member Owns Animal Jam, you should stay clear of that person. They will try to take your items, and then unbuddy you immediately.
Another similar scam to trust trading is called Flash Trading. The scammer will say things such as “Flash Me” or “Flash Trade Me”, and these type of people should never be trusted. Flash trading means that the scammer dares you to trade him. Even though you think that you can outsmart them and decline quickly, keep in mind that they have auto-accept bots.
