Razer11455 (Best Trade Wins) (Giveaway)

Hello! Zee here with another scammer post!

Ok, so, if you haven't heard, the SWS is coming back! They will be a new group called the SOS, link to the blog here, and lucky for me, I was able to get an invitation to the group and go on their first scammer patrol with them! This post will be about a scammer I caught on that patrol, Razer11455.

His player card. He is wearing some phantom armor which he was offering in the scam. He was also offering a few other small rares like Rare Item Mondays, which are commonly scammed by new scammers.

This was his trade once he began the scam. Before it housed what he was offering in the scam, but now he had his scamming bait on it. A simple table that all new Jammers get when they join.

This is him advertising his scam. It's a giveaway, but he uses the "Best Trade Wins" method during the scam. Luckily enough, despite the items he was offering in the scam being rare and hard to get items, only one other person came, the one other person attending wasn't tricked.

When we got there, he put the basic table on his trade and began telling us how his scam would play out. Sadly enough, I deleted the full version of what he said, but he basically said that the best trade he got for his bait would win. This is a scam because, if he wanted to trade his items and get something for them, then he would just normally trade the items, instead of making someone trade for the bait first.

I accused him of scamming, and shortly after he locked his den, which is a typical scammer move.

Astyanaxys (Alternate Account) (Best Trade Wins) (Giveaway) (Trust)

Hello! Zee here!

I was hanging out in Julian2's den, trying to find scammers. I, of course, trying to hunt in the Scammer Drought of 2015, had no luck, except for one person. The user Astyanaxys, who was holding a list giveaway.

This is their player card. I noticed how their username was very unique and strange, but their appearance was fairly normal, at least for a Jammer hanging out in Aldan.

In the scam, they were offering their list, which was chock full of betas and rares, sure to attract a crowd.

While at the scam, I noticed their achievements. They only had eight. Keep in mind that they had a list full of rares, and you can easily tell that this is an Alt. Account. The owner of this Alt. obviously traded over all those rares to this account to do their scamming, but more on that later. Let's get in to the actual scamming.

This was the scammer advertising their scam. I was at Julian2's den, a popular place for scammers, so a scene like this wasn't uncommon, however, it did attract a lot of Jammers to the giveaway, which was to be expected with his amazingly rare list.

When I got there, I saw that his list was different. Previously, it was full of spikes, but it had changed now. The most notable change was the addition of the necklace, which the scammer would use as their bait.

He asked us to buddy him. Whenever a scammer does this, they're keeping you at their mercy. If you interfere then they can just lock you out, but strangely, the scammer never did that.

Something notable he did, even though I didn't get a picture, was the fact that he said that he was ok with us videoing the giveaway. This is my final piece of evidence as to why this person is an Alt. Account. They don't care if they're caught because they can always re-transfer their rares and try again on a different account.

He told us that this would be a trust, and began hopping, asking for trusts. A few people trusted him, but to my knowledge no one was harmed and pretty much everyone there knew he was a scammer.

Half-way though his scam, he stopped talking, but still declined ever trade he got almost instantly. Eventually he left, leading me to think that he left mid-scam and was logged out.

Alright, that's it! I was very happy to actually find a scammer and get a real post up for you guys today. Remember to be safe, and have a good day!

Oliverjoffe123 (Giveaway) (Truster)

Hello! Zee here again with another scammer post. Scammers have been increasingly hard to find, so it was lucky that I stumbled upon one. This post will be about a "Trust" scammer named Oliverjoffe123.

This was her player card. She was wearing one of her many Non-Rare Spikes offered in the scam.

This is her advertising her scam in Jamaa Township. In any Full or 3 Dot server, Jamaa Township is a good place to look when scam watching, and sometimes it's best to check 3 Dot servers instead of full ones, you may see a sneaky scammer working in a less-populated server to try and avoid harm.

This was the item she was using as her bait. It was an underwater item, which are rarely used at all by Jammers, making her bait item "the necklace of the sea".

This is her saying that we were going to be trusting her, and shortly after she told us this she told us to begin. Luckily no one at the giveaway trusted her.

I asked her why she couldn't trade her spikes normally, and she said the above. This is a common excuse used by flashers or trusters who are scamming. They say they want to share their items for free, but in the end all they do is end up scamming someone. It's a very common excuse and it's very easy to counter, yet Jammers may still fall for it.

Muffinthekitty12 (Giveaway Scam) (Truster)

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.

I hope you all enjoyed my first post! Expect more to come from both me, and Cerise, (ShadowclawXX,) leader of the SWS. Anyways, thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
