-liljesi
off-topic -ish:: has anyone come across a scam where the person had to "send" an item through a trade? like.. the item doesn't show up in the trade window but it supposedly "goes through every time" ?
VMKJen 09-04-2006, 09:55 PM what???? no that nerver happened. but if you accept a trade and its a boy and your a girl and you wait to click ok for like you cant trade clothes. and then it pops up and he already has averything up and the accept box checked. thats true it happends lots of times
LilDisLeia 09-04-2006, 09:58 PM thanks for the warning :)

-shrugs-
Up to you if you want to trust the person or not.
ccooldudecool 09-09-2006, 01:58 PM thx for the warning
pinatine 09-09-2006, 02:22 PM vmk ought to have a code trader where you enter your code and it adds it to the trade window
abbycatkid 09-09-2006, 02:58 PM cool! well, not cool, but anyways, I mean cool for your warning....................lol?
BillyBobTheKid 09-09-2006, 03:24 PM I don't think this is considered a scam. I am not sure. :confused:
MamaJo 09-09-2006, 04:33 PM that is not really a scam bc i use it lots and there is no promblem
You are lucky you haven't been caught yet. It is against vmk rules to trade room codes in vmk. Also, you should not dictionary dance to obtain this. It is also against vmk rules. If you are ever caught, it could mean a ban to you. Be careful.

Hmm.. well i've seen this done a million times before, it's not quite much of a new scam. But, thx for the warning anyways. :D

jamiewe 09-09-2006, 05:01 PM Well sometimes it is. :)

yea, i was about to say that.. you shouldn't dictionary dance for anything that's against vmk values. So, you need to go to the parks and obtain the room codes yourself, or no get them. ;) (Or on some sites, you can trade them, but i'm not sure about here)
- Ace
Penguinz 09-09-2006, 05:38 PM Thanks, but Never give codes over VMK unless on VMKF
GenieLovato 09-09-2006, 05:48 PM Well its not really new But Don't trust any one in vmk

uh...what is dictionary dance? lol TIA
Llewelyn 09-12-2006, 08:04 AM Scammers make me so mad!! I traded using the Trader Mick's forum (yes it was here at VMKF) for the Haunted Mansion room code. I gave her my stich pin for it. She wouldn't let me try the code before i traded her the pin, I wanted the room so badly that i just went with it. I traded it to her in VMK and then she disapeared. I messaged her on VMKF and she said she dc and gave me a code. I tried the code and of course it didn't work!!! OMG!!
So i messaged her again telling her it didn't work and she didn't respond for a week. She gave me the same code again. I told her over and over that she needs to get a new code or trade back because she gave me a bad code and recently she said that bc it had been so long that she wasn't obligated to do anything and that basically it was my problem, take it up with VMK. I cant believe this happend here on this site.
I want to warn people about her. Can I say who it was without getting in trouble? I am not sure on the rules of this but i am guessing no
She seemed nice before I traded. I trusted her. People really need to know!
so it isn't necessarily safe even on VMKF! thanx for the warning. I learned my lesson the hard way :(
Napthali 09-12-2006, 09:46 AM Not to sound mean but it;s your fault. This is not a new scam, has been going on for a while and trade is not safe anywhere. never trust anyone. Biggest tip I can give you.
-Napthali-
Gotsumgame 09-12-2006, 02:10 PM Can I say who it was without getting in trouble? I am not sure on the rules of this. People should know that there is a scammer that is a member of the Trader Mick's Forum
I am just gonna let you see it
Flaming is a rule at VMKF, and you shouldn't give her name out or else your flaming her. Take it up with a super mod or admin, they can handle what needs to be done.
PirateMario 09-12-2006, 02:25 PM Hmm...how did you Really know if it was a scammer? I bet it was some person who trades codes. Really think before you do stuff like that. Remember, even new players canget in-park stuff!
glenna 09-12-2006, 02:47 PM I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me where in the VMK values it says that we cannot trade room codes. I have read the VMK values and I can't find where it says that. I trade room codes to my friends all the time and have had no complaints.
SpinMarty 09-12-2006, 03:04 PM Scammers make me so mad!! I traded using the Trader Mick's forum (yes it was here at VMKF) . . .
so it isn't necessarily safe even on VMKF! thanx for the warning. I learned my lesson the hard way :(
I hope that you bothered to PM a mod about this. Scamming is not tolerated here in the forums and severe action is taken against scammers.
If anyone feels that they were scammed on VMKf then by all means report it to a mod immediately so that we my look into the matter.
Flaming, however, is not the route to take as it is against forum policy.
Thank you,
SM
jamiewe 09-12-2006, 04:02 PM well some of you forumers go against my story but i respect your opinions, hey its a free country :)
Llewelyn 09-12-2006, 06:15 PM yea I sent a PM to a Mod about it a while ago and never heard a response. I know nothing is ever going to come of this. I lost my pin an dont have the room. I will just try codes before trading next time to be safe. I will still trade for codes though - I like the rooms :)
Oh, well... i just have to let it go :(
Thanks everyone for letting me know about the no naming names rule - nice to know for future reference

You should send it to many mods, not just one though. If you have a problem, chances are one of them will get to it. If I ever have a problem, I usually send a PM to every single Mod that is online, and if I don't get a response within the next day, I'll keep on trying or go onto VMKF chat in which they are usually there chatting. Just take it up in a personal conversation with them. Although you may not get you rpin back, your still doing a great deed by having such a member removed from the usergroup, to prevent other users to fall for the trick as well. If you trade for codes, make sure you get the code first. If not, NEVER do the trade unless it's with a VERY trustworthy member. I like to trade the code after, but I've never scammed anyone. Just be careful on who you trade with, make sure that person is an active poster, and you'll be fine. :)
the Disneyhollic 09-13-2006, 12:20 AM I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me where in the VMK values it says that we cannot trade room codes. I have read the VMK values and I can't find where it says that. I trade room codes to my friends all the time and have had no complaints.
look at the back of a prize card;)
but it could be interpreted many ways, so keep an open mind.
Chaelle 09-13-2006, 12:22 AM woooo people are so evil @_@ next thing u know we'll be able to say numbers...and ppl will give u the wrong code and scam ya...
That's why you should always type the code first:rolleyes:
~Chaelle
TiNkErMeL_disney_FaN 09-23-2006, 05:32 PM omg a new scam oh no that's bad!!!!
Chaelle 09-23-2006, 06:22 PM It's another thing we need to out for:rolleyes:
~Chaelle
PS. Welcome to VMKF, Tink!
miss_marquie 09-23-2006, 07:33 PM Id say only do it if you know the person and really trust them, and are willing to take the chance. I dont do that kinda stuff, Id rather earn it myself, it kinda takes the fun out of it for me.
