Hello Jammers! Zee here. I am very excited to make my first post on this new blog, so I won't stall. This post is about a scammer called Muffinthekitty12 who I found one day while out watching.
This is her player card. She is wearing the spike that she was giving away, in theory. She never showed any other spikes so I'm pretty sure she was getting this one. Even though it's a non-rare spike, jammers would still want to get their hands on one, which would attract a lot of Jammers to her den.
This was her advertising her scam. She was offering a spike, most likely non-rare as said before, as her bait.
This was her trade list. This is one of the cheapest items in Jam Mart Clothing you could buy which made for an easy to access and cheap scamming item. However, the cheaper the item, the more likely that a potential victim could notice something fishy was going on.
In this picture, she is asking the Jammers participating in her giveaway if they trust her. And no, she is not asking if we're trusters. I had a picture of her saying "me" afterwards but I deemed it unimportant to the post and so deleted it. Believe it or not, the scammer asking if the participating Jammers if they trust him/her or not is very useful to a scam watcher. Scam watchers should hang low and just say "yes." Do not accuse the host of scamming or you will most likely get kicked out. Take pictures while you're watching and when you have enough evidence to support your claim you should accuse the host of scamming and try to prevent any Jammers in the room from getting scammed. When accusing, use your evidence to support your claims and hopefully other Jammers will join in too, sharing their thoughts. This method is very safe and rarely ever fails, so use it whenever you can.
After we answered "yes," she began trusting. It took a minute for anyone to trust her, hence her saying "No one currently winning," but eventually someone did. If you're interested, the person who trusted did not get scammed.
The reason that this is a scam is because, despite the previous evidence, the scammer could just trade the spike instead of going through the trust. If she wanted to give it out for free, she could host a contest or send it to a lucky Jammer. Instead, this obvious scammer went for the common method of trusting, and every Jammer in the room saw through her disguise.
The final piece of evidence was her locking us out. A giveaway scammer will practically always leave the scene of the crime or lock the den after being proven wrong or after they successfully scam. If she was not a scammer, she most likely wouldn't have done that.
