Scammers

I had never intended to be a scammer. I don't think anyone ever did intend to become a scammer, to tear apart the hard work that everyone around them had done. But, I ended up becoming one anyways; there are some things that can't be helped. When I originally joined Animal Jam, I tried becoming rare on my own, but it was awfully hard. The adventures took so long, and no matter how hard I tried, I never won giveaways, and nobody ever seemed to accept my trades. I watched a few videos on YouTube about scammers and the horrible scams they had done, mostly for entertainment at first, but one day, I had a horrible thought. ''Maybe I'll try it. Just once!''

I didn't think it was going to work, but it did.

I had managed to scam a few minor rares, and it was thrilling! I began to scam more and more, stealing items. I was finally becoming the rare person I had always wanted to be, and it was so easy! I made a spare account dedicated to scamming on another email entirely, with unrelated usernames to my main account. I talked differently, acted differently. People often fell for my scams, as surprising as it was that they would! On my main account, I was very rare, one of the people everyone loved to trade; of course, I spent more time on my spares scamming. One day, I had begun to scam, lying and saying I was doing a list giveaway in my den, and to my dislike, only one person appeared in my den. They had been a New Jammer, and seemed eager to get their paws on my items. I told them that they needed to trade their best items for one of my awful items, and that I'd decline, and if they traded something really good, I'd give them my entire trade list! They seemed eager to start, and started off with a rare worn. I declined, as the item sucked in general, and I wanted to get the best items this New Jammer had, if they had any. They traded me again, offering a rare fox hat. Once again, I declined, though I was getting skeptical by that point; how did a New Jammer have these rares? By no means were they big rares, but still, the account could've only existed for a few days, three at the most! Then, they traded a rare fox hat, and a black worn! I sighed and decided to finally accept, considering I doubted they had much better. Locking them out of my den, I opened a new tab and logged into my main account, preparing to trade the items over from my spare. Flipping back to my other tab, I noticed a Jam-A-Gram in my inbox. I ignored it at first, as it was probably the New Jammer or someone else complaining about my scamming.

Two more. Three more, then four. Seven, eight. More and more Jam-A-Grams appeared in my inbox until I finally clicked it, wishing I was a member on my spare so I could tell the New Jammer to stop spamming me! They kept asking me to trade, but I ignored them, exiting out and sending the items over to my main before deciding to chat with other Jammers for a while, maybe trade my new scammed items. Just as I left my spare account's den, where I had done the transfer, a single Jam-A-Gram appeared in my inbox. I figured that it was one of my buddies, as I didn't scam on my main account whatsoever because of how risky it was, and opened it.

"You're going to regret that."

It was from a member account that I had never seen before. I clicked on the username, looking at the animal with confusion. It was a plain, dark gray fox with white markings, female eyes, and a white underside. I checked their trade, and looked for any other animals, but they only had the fox, and their trade only had a necklace. Scoffing, I considered logging out, when another Jam-A-Gram popped up.

"I trusted you and you lied to me."

I was starting to get annoyed now. How the hell did this person get my main account's username? They weren't even related! I had locked them out! I had paid for several months of membership, and I sure as hell didn't want to get permanently banned. Plus, wouldn't I lose all of my rare items? I opened a new tab again and logged into my backup account, which I stored some lesser rares on in case such a situation did happen; main account getting banned or found out. I looked back at the fox, whose tag I still had on my main account's tab. Was that the New Jammer's main account? Why would they have bothered to make a new account just to put all their best items on; what was the point? Turning back to my backup, I realized I got a Jam-A-Gram, and couldn't help but feel terribly dreadful, but I knew I had to open it. Just to check.

"You can't get away from me, I already told you that you'd regret it."

I was fuming now. I was so tempted to make a new email, to make a new account, and see if they found me then, but then I stopped, closing down both tabs. Who the hell cared? What could this fox do to me? Report me? Make a video on me? I could always make a new email and new account if I needed to, and re-scam people there. It just sort of sucked that I'd have to lose my main. I left Animal Jam for a week or so, just wanting to take a break, but once I logged back into my main, I was distraught! My animal was a fox that was a perfect copy of that member's fox. I checked my inventory, for clothing and my den; both completely empty except for a single necklace. 0 gems, 0 diamonds. In a panic, I went to my Jam-A-Grams, only to find that all of them had been deleted, including to ones by the member fox. I hadn't recorded their username, and now there was no way to find them again! Feeling worse and worse, I checked my buddies list, only to find that each and every one of my buddies were deleted, even my closest friends. Suddenly, another Jam-A-Gram appeared in my inbox, but I was far too upset to check it. I logged out of my account, and never logged back on to my main account, my spare, or my scamming account. I didn't have the patience to see what else that fox had done.
