Wanna know why? I'll tell ya why! BECAUSE SOME CHEAP OL' GUEST STOLE AN ANIMATION DESK FROM ME! YEAH, STOLE!!Here's the story..


Guest walks into room
Guest asks to trade
Guest:Hi can you put this in room so I can sit down?
Me: (trying to be nice to guest) Sure!
Guest: (Puts in red pilhar magic chair)
Me: Okay
(exits trade)
(puts chair in room)
Then while I trade with someone else, the guest moves the chair onto the pirate wall surrounding my kiosk, puts the chair next to it, and takes my animation desk.

I sent in numerous complaints in the contact us button about this. And the thing is IT WASNT MY FAULT! So please don't reply and say: You made the trade it's your responsibility to keep your kiosk safe. - Breathes deeply - Okay sorry about that...I just don't want to be blamed for something that entirely wasn't my fault... :( I just wanna quit vmk now, It's the first time I've been scammed and It hurts...It really hurts...
I bet vmk won't do anything about it either...

Oh and i'm sorry if this is in wrong place, I just saw scam stuff in here so I posted it..

Aww.. sorry to here about that. I know it's not your fault, the chair was guest-movable-er-y-er when you got it. Well, hope the guest gets banned, and you get your item back.

Thx iguana :) Hopefully vmk will give it back...They better not just say ' a trade is a trade ' because I didnt trade it..

how is that possible?? how can anyone else take something from a room that it's not his??

they gave me a movable chair, they put it on the pirate wall next to kiosk and did the quest...

what i need is a confidence boost...or a new animation desk...lol

Well, it's not the end of the world. It's not like you had like a stitch in it. heh.. im not a great confidence buildin-er-y-in-er-i-er person.

That was one smart guest!

Anyway, it wasn't entirely your fault, because that was a new move scamemrs pulled. But, you shouldn't have put the chair down. :rolleyes:

It's an animators desk. I give lots of quest out about every day through my quest, and I give white snowman to people for free. Don't worry.

You give a White Snowman for free? lol

Well, like he said, the Animator's Desks aren't that rare, you can get one really cheap.

That was one smart guest!


Maybe It Wasn't a Guest. It was probably some smart scammer who made a mule... >_>

XxChrisssy

wow teddyyeti that's nice of you to give ppl SNOWMEN!heh...can i have 1? LOL! i'll try to get a new desk in a minute.

that's where i got the desk, from ebay!

i feel better now...... realived of all dat STRESS.....

eh. hopefully this will turn into a popular topic..vmk still hasn't sent me a reply email yet. i'll post it when they do.

really sorry. i traded a animation desk for a set of rare teleporters that didnt match! it was a long time ago so you could not check to see if they match

EDIT: if i have a rare item in a quest i add a quick password task that they cant get through

It was probably some smart scammer who made a mule... >_>


yeah that's what i figured. crazy scammers >_< i hate them

really sorry. i traded a animation desk for a set of rare teleporters that didnt match! it was a long time ago so you could not check to see if they match

EDIT: if i have a rare item in a quest i add a quick password task that they cant get through

evina, what kind of porters? gold? stitch? train?

evina, what kind of porters? gold? stitch? train?

it was Stitch neither of the porters took me anywhere

oh that stinks!

anyways,
i don't think im gonna try to get another desk and seat...not really worth it. too much DRAMA.

I think that if you have your quest there, you should probably consider turning it off. OR... use something that wont let anyone put something on top. On second thought, don't let people give you items to place in your room, lol.
XxChrisssy

it was a trading all in kiosk room.

you know what, I am going to be nice, want another animation desk ? where are you on vmk I'll give it to you, trust me I have lost alot more EDIT: GTG i WILL TRY TOMORROW

Sorry, but like it isn't even that rare.. No reason to quit

And why would you put it on moveable?

~€00L$

She didn't put it on move-able, the scammer put it on move-able before they gave it to her. ;)

well u did let the guest move the chair so it might be your fault

you know what, I am going to be nice, want another animation desk ? where are you on vmk I'll give it to you, trust me I have lost alot more EDIT: GTG i WILL TRY TOMORROW


yeah i had to go too right after i read this one. wow that's pretty nice of you, also! when you get back on vmk, PM me and we'll meet, ok?

omg, I really don't know this scam technique..
he gave a movable chair and the guest puted it above the desk and that was the way he took the desk away?
Sorry if I don't understand, you know my English is not that good

i do not get it moveable does not mean you can take it away and if you put it next to a kiosk it does not just go in it

She meant that she placed a moveable chair down, which allowed the guest to get over a wall she made protecting her quest kiosk.

OK LISTEN! there were pirate walls surrounding the kiosk so no one could get in. he gave me the chair which he made MOVEABLE before the trade, he put it on a pirate wall, sat in it, then moved it into kiosk area, sat on it again, and played it.

If someone would come up to me and want me to put an item of "theirs" into my room so they can sit down, I would be seeing red flags all over the place. :cool:

I had some guest do the same to me
He gave me some philhar magic chairs and told me to put them out
I put a few out and he was like yay!
I noticed one was movable so i took it away

Aww, sorry to hear that you got scammed. If it makes you fell any better, I have an animator's desk for trade :) LOL

ok ok, now I get it... the quest was active and the guest was that smart to find out he could cross the walls... wow...
sorry to read that and thank you for the explanation.

awww, soo sorry

THAT GUY WAS A CON ARTIST!!!

( cough, cough, how did he do it exactly , cough, cough, )

lol jk

My sister saw a girl that did that today in a trade room:

This girl traded with the owner of the room, sat in a chair that was suddenly placed in the room, and another girl, (which I'm assuming it's her friend), traded with the owner, she quickly put the chair up on the crate, did the quest and ran away, or she got booted. I'm not sure, but I know the name of the victim, ask him if you'd like or ask me what his name was. I know both of the scammers names as well, but I didn't really know what was happening so I couldn't really help.

- Encyclopedia :wave2:

oh and it's been about three or four days idk who's counting??....anyways, it's been that long and vmk has NOT replied to my contact us or given me a new desk. cheap, much? i think so.

Ooh.. somebody just tried to do this to me. Good thing i read this yesterday, and i quickly changed it so nobody could move the chair, not that it would have mattered, made the task to go into a room of mine that is in no way connected.

Why on Earth would someone take somebody else's chairs and put them in their room? I'm sorry, that's just weird. Remember, scammers profit by other's foolishness or ignorance. If somebody asks you you to do something odd...

DON'T DO IT!

hey, hey, hey! i was trying to be nice to a guest for the first time and they scammed me....real nice...

Ah...thats a smart scammer...whoa..
I went "AH another scam..nice.." then iread it and was like...ahh...dude!
Like your kiosk was on? and he did the quest to get it out?

If your kiosk is blocked off, turn it off too.

She didn't put it on move-able, the scammer put it on move-able before they gave it to her. ;)

Is that possible?
That would stink if it is...people give you an item and then they rearrange your room..i hate when people do that..

That was a pretty good scam. The things people think of.

Is that possible?

Yes, it is possible. I've had much furniture, that I had never put moveable, able to be moved in this way.

Of course it's not your fault. The fault is the scammer's. If they had not made the decision to do such a cruel thing, you would still have your desk.

ty annaso :)

Of course it's not your fault. The fault is the scammer's. If they had not made the decision to do such a cruel thing, you would still have your desk.

I would have it's your fault too.
1.) If they want to sit down, place a chair from your inventory in the room.
2.) If you went to all of the trouble to "surround" your quest machine, just make sure it is turned off.

:wave2:

Cut the poor girl a break! =(

Sheesh, cut the girl some slack. She got scammed, and you are just so indifferent that it makes you look bad. That happened to my friend, which is Encyclopedia's sister. But it didn't work that well, she realized it at the last second. She was trading some good things a couple days ago. Some random player gave her some free stuff, she put it in her room, it turned out to be chairs and carpets that were all movable. My friend, realizing this booted the scammer and sold all the stuff, panicking.

awww :( i think i have heard of this...

Wow i hope more scammers dont read this and copy the idea . . that would be REALLY BAD!! >_<

That is a smart scammer. Don't get too frustrated with yourself, I've never heard of this scam... >_<

that must make u want to cry i got scammed once for my rare pins and clothes.... i trusted a friend... and even really rare furnish... so u see it happens and no offence but vmk doesn't care and i dont get why!!! they should care it hurts others and they do nothing to make us feel better. they say they are making vmk safe for others but they do nothing about it right? so i feel bad and i am sorry but it is not worth quitting

Wow.

Don't feel dumb, if you are.

That's just ONE VERY SMART GUEST.

The CHAIR Scam is a classic now:

They set the chair moveable before they trade it. The find a room that has a blocked off quest. Then,when the owner places it in the room,they move it so they can do the quest-BUT the owner has to be trading with someone else. Here's a hint to stop them:If somebody trades you a chair in a room with a quest kiosk blocked off,don't put the chair in there!

i agree that the scammer was probably an experienced player, also
Guest123654(not a real name) is harder to remember than a normal name, so this scammer was very smart if thats wat he wanted to do. u know just so he wouldn't get reported.

Anyway, i feel really bad, oh and it wasnt your fault this is a new technic scammers have come up with. How could u have known.

So you had the animation desk in your kiosk and the kiosk was turned on?

yes, smoop.

that must make u want to cry i got scammed once for my rare pins and clothes.... i trusted a friend... and even really rare furnish... so u see it happens and no offence but vmk doesn't care and i dont get why!!! they should care it hurts others and they do nothing to make us feel better. they say they are making vmk safe for others but they do nothing about it right? so i feel bad and i am sorry but it is not worth quitting

they dont care because it was all your fault. yes it is. you accepted the trade. if it was taken from the kiosk it should have been inactive. if it is an accident then you should still take responsibility. sorry :(

Oh my gosh~
scammers are getting smart!! I ( No i'm not a scammer! ) would never have thought of that...
It's good you posted this, people, be warned! - even though i dont have a kiosk.
I feel so bad for you, and people , give her a break!! Seriously, NOW that it's heard of and you know not to trust people who want to " sit " you think you would never let them do that, but come ON! She had no idea that ppl were that smart. It is not her fault! We just need to be smart about this, and i think she'll learn from this and turn her quests off.

~ Hope they catch the bad guest once and for all! ~
~ cookie ~

evina i didnt ACCEPT the trade. he gave me a chair which i didnt know was movable! i put it on the other side of the room. while i was trading, BAM. took it. and i got his name in the kiosk where it said players completed...

By given you, you mean traded right? And not to be mean or anything, but if right away you see the person playing without you letting him/her, boot him/her...

evina i didnt ACCEPT the trade. he gave me a chair which i didnt know was movable! i put it on the other side of the room. while i was trading, BAM. took it. and i got his name in the kiosk where it said players completed...

Actually, I think you did "ACCEPT" the trade, twice. This has to be done to get this person's item into your room.

I think we should take this for what it is and learn from it. If someone trades you an item that could potentionally be used to sit or step on (chairs, couches, rugs, ect.) then we need to make sure that the move feature of that item is turned off. That way we don't loose any of our treasured items. Second, if we have a quest machine in our rooms and we are not running an active quest at the moment, then we should make sure that the quest machine is turned off. That way we are not tempting someone else to scam us. :wave2:

Like goofy said we should all take this experience and learn from it. Bird did accept the trade, so she is still responsible for that matter, but it was still an accident.

Wow, they're getting pretty creative huh?
I'm sorry you got scammed, it happens to the best of us.

well if i 'accepted' the trade i would have just given him the desk. i accepted the trade for his chair which i had no clue was movable. eh...easy come easy go, i got the desk only about two days earlier.

I'm with Bird here. The "you accepted the trade" argument isn't valid in this case. That line is for people who accept trades with the promise that they'll get another item later. The request was a strange one, but she really had no reason to think that she was being scammed.

Ditto for 'the kiosk shouldn't have been on'; while I personally would have made the tasks in the kiosk non-guessable just to be on the safe side, turning it off would sort of defeat the purpose of having the items she has for trade in the kiosk to begin with.

I completely sympathize with Bird here; this is a really sneaky scam. Thanks for sharing it here and getting the word out.

We weren't saying that you accepted the trade for the desk. We were saying that you accepted the trade for the chair, which later in turn, you placed not knowing it was moveable. No, you did not know, and alot of people in your situation would have done the same thing.

I was stating that she accepted the trade for the chair, not the table. And yes, it was a strange reason, that doesn't seem harmful. I might have even fell for it. It still falls into the category of "accident" in any perspective.

try putting stuff around the kiosk that u cant put other stuff on like explorer's lantern..

Strong point lol Although speaking of scams on day i was in my new pirate ship room u know the ons u buy at disney world, any way she came in and asked for my treasure chair i said sorry no and then she say it for her sister who "has cancer" and i offer things even more rare so her friend comes protending she has cancer and then just stands there pretending to have fallen asleep but any ways they leave and curse me! they swear and dictionary dance and every thing! Then me and my girlfriend hang out in her room for a couple ...

Very clever but disturbing schemes. >_<

Wow, that was one smart kid.

Sorry he took your item though, just think it could have been an even rarer item.

Aww i'm sorry to hear you lost that, atleast it wasn't anything big.

- Ace

Let me understand you room.

Entrance--Pirate Walls--Kiosk

If it is like that, that is relly your fault, next time,w hen someone gives u a chair, put another jeje

the last time i traded an animation desk, i traded it for a sorcerer hat and a polynesian resort pin. yeah, long time ago.

Sorry you lost that D=
If you do the kiosk thing again, block it with something you can't put a chair or anything on. example: lanterns
