Want to know if a jammer is scamming you or not? This is a list of different scammer tricks:
The Decline All Trades: Some jammer is saying, "I decline all trades, try me!" Some people try trading them with lame trades, and the jammer declines them all. You or someone else comes along and trades him/her a rare. The jammer accepts the trade and runs off with the rare.
The Sending Scam: A jammer is saying, "Send me something and I send something better back!" Everyone sends store-bought items to the jammer and the jammer sends everyone slightly better items. A random person comes around and sends the jammer a rare. The jammer runs off with his/hers newly acquired rare.
*The Rapid Click Scam: A jammer says to you, "Come to my den, I want to trade you!" You go to their den. They say for you to sit on a specific pillow in the den and click a plush or whatever in their den a lot. They trade you an unfair trade and right where you clicked that den item is where the yes button on the trade is.
* = This scam is now impossible due to the three second wait addition to the trade system, which will activate the trade and wait three seconds for the owner of the items to look at the trade that he/she is presented, then after three seconds, will show the "Yes" or "No" buttons.
The Try-On Scam: A friend sends you a Jam-A-Gram asking you if they can try on something of yours. You reply, "Of Course!" You send the item(s) and let them try it on. Your so called "friend" takes you off of their buddy list and runs off with your item(s).
The Broken Trade Scam: A jammer says, "My trade system is broken, I can only send now, sorry!" You want to trade them something and decide to send them something to trade. They might be telling the truth and send you back, or they might be lying and will run off with your item.
The Contest Scam: A jammer is saying,"Best send wins (My Rare) or (My Outfit)!" You send a rare hoping that you will win. More and more people start sending the jammer. After ages of asking the jammer," Did I win yet?" the jammer leaves with everyone's rares and items.
*The Flash Trade Scam: A jammer says,"Flash trade me lots!" Everyone flash trades the jammer. After a while, the jammer learned to be fast when the trade came up and guess what - everyone lost everything they had.
* = This scam is now impossible due to the three second wait addition to the trade system, which will activate the trade, then wait three seconds for the owner of the items to look at the trade that he/she is presented, then after three seconds, will show the "Yes" or "No" buttons.
The Animal Code Scam: A jammer says they had an animal code, and in order for someone to get a code, they had to send a rare. A smart scammer will say,"The first half of the code is [6xg903ht] (and no, it does not work. it is fake.) for the second half send me a rare then meet me at (Area in Jamaa)!" When you send them a rare and go to the specified location, he/she won't ever be there.
The "Awesome Item" Scam: A jammer says," I'll trade you this pheonix helmet for your rare backpack!" It's an unbelievable trade, and you trade them your rare backpack. You see it's just an eagle hat colored red and wonder, "DID I REALLY FALL FOR THIS?"
The "Keeper" Scam: (A keeper is someone who works for AJHQ and monitors AJ.) Some Jammer will say," GIVE ME RARES OR I TAKE YOU OFF ANIMAL JAM FOREVER!" I mean, why would someone who works for AJHQ demand everyone for rares? If you don't send them, then you saved yourself some time and rares on AJ. I really don't like these jammers who pretend to be keepers -.(\
