Trust Trade

A Trust Trade is one of the many different Known Scams. It is used in many different ways, but they all have a few things in common: All Trust Trades involve having the victims trust the scammer into falling for their scams; never trading the promised items directly. If anyone does anything fishy, ask them if you can trade for the item directly and look for Red Flags!

Examples

A jammer asks for items, promising to drop sapphires for them, but when someone trades them something, they leave and usually disable trade requests after. Always ask them if you can trade for the potion directly and look for Red Flags!

Your buddy asks you if they can try on your item(s), and promises to give them back afterwords., but instead, they unbuddy you and leave/lock you out of their den. Either say "Sorry but no." or "I can try it on for you." if you own their same animal.

A jammer hosts a "Giveaway" or Trading Bid/Contest, and asks for jammers to trade them items for free, that the best trade wins a prize/their outfit. The scammer promises to return the items, but instead locks everyone out of their den. Always trade for the item directly!

Someone is promising free art for items, but doesn't trade directly. Instead of giving the art, the scammer leaves instead.

The scammer is advertising a shop, saying, "If you buy something/everything in my shop u get a prize/my outfit! However, when the jammers buy from their shop, the scammer locks everyone out of their den and doesn't give ANYTHING to ANY jammer. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
