Welcome to another Scam Types Lesson! 05louieAJ here, broadcasting (NOT) live and listening to Harry Potter music (Probably) as you read this! Today's Type of Scam will be what I call the "Glitch Goofs Scam," but you might see other websites and see that they call it something different, if they know about this glitch!
The reason I said the last few words in the first paragraph is because this scam isn't common. Nobody I know has done it. I think some people have, though. Let us begin!!!
Do you like glitches?
I do. I think they are cool, funny and different. Well, not when someone scams
you into seeing a glitch. Dun. Dun, DUUUUNNN!!!
So, you are sitting
in Jamaa Township. You see someone yelling, “Meet me in the (Lets say…)
Conservation Museum and see a glitch!”
Oh! I love glitches! Let me go there! Ok. You go ahead. But be careful! It may be a scam! So you go.
He comes to the
Conservation Museum. He says, “The glitch is at my den.” His den is locked, so
you doubt you will actually be going there. Then he says, “For this glitch to
work, you need to trade me a worn.” He was a store bought necklace on his
trade. OMG I HAVE A WORN I WILL TRADE HIM!! No.
You won’t. You need to make sure this guy isn’t setting you up.
But someone else trades a worn. He says,
“Thanks, I only needed one.” He unlocks his den. “Now, go to my den!” You and
the other people go. Everyone looks
around. Where is the glitch? Newsflash: There IS NOT A GLITCH in this den. The
person who traded the rare got scammed. Before you can yell at the scammer, he
logs out.
Well, say you were me
in this situation. What if you were still in the Conservation Museum? Think to
yourself: What would I do? Just think.
For a few minutes. Please.
The answer is: I
would ask questions, of course! When
he says, “blah blah blah, trade me a worn,” I would ask, “Why a worn? Can we
trade you…. Like, an everyday item, like a tree?” “No, it needs to be a worn or
else the glitch will not work.” “But have you done this glitch before?” “Yes,
tons of times. I have done it since 2 years ago.” You know that AJ has updates, right?
And those updates are usually for fixing glitches. Most glitches don’t work for
2 years.
So you say exactly
that. He says, “Huh?” Some people leave. You still ask questions. “You know
that Animal Jam does not allow this, right?”
Then, he leaves.
