a lot of ppl who start games of cute or boot give ppl three options. pay watch or boot. is it scamming to stay in the current game by paying?

It is now against the values to make people pay for anything, so if a person is offering pay, watch, or boot, they will be banned because pay is not allowed.

Post bragging rights?

well just the other day i was at the small world imports and i observed two characters literally in public bragging about how they scammed some people of their stuff. the gall!! If the logs are ever read on these characters they will be easily banned. I made sure they knew that if they got caught they would be reported. As far as trade is concerned i do not trade with anyone but my closest vmk friends. when you have established a good trust relationship with anyone on vmk it just makes sense. keep it safe all.

OMG! i agree with just about all of this.

This is my little sister's account but i do all her trading etc.. for her bc for the same reason i don't want her to be scammed bc she is young and therefor very trusting of other people.


On Saturday I was watching TV and letting her play, she met a new friend, and was playing with her on VMK in the other girl's room. The Other Girl said " We are playing Slumber Party, and I'm The Queen bc it's my room, and only the Queen can wear Gold. " " So Can I Wear Your Gold Dress? " She was smart enough to say no a few times, but after being badgered by the girl, she finally gave in, and let her borrow her dress.

At that point i go in there to check on her to see what she's doing etc... and she's sad bc the girl won't give her the dress back! I have told her time and time again not to let ppl borrow your stuff! ESPECIALLY your rare stuff!

I of course knew she would never see the dress again, but i continue to try to get it back. I click on the girls name so i can report her. I told her she needs to give the dress back now or i'm going to report her. at that point i already had reported her, so i got her into a trade and said give the dress back now! She then booted me from her room, and deleted me from her list

Bye Bye Gold Dress and it was one of her favorites!

This time she learned her lesson! I Guarantee she will never do that again!




Also here's another story!

One of her really really good friends wanted to borrow her Inferno so they could take a picture with it, and give it right back. I was so apprehensive about this and warned her not to do it! She didn't seem to mind, so i told her OK if your going to do this, you need to get items that are worth your inferno from him as a trade just incase he is a scammer. Luckily the guy did not scam her, but if he would have she would have had gold black and dream ears.


I just dont understand scammers, and how they can live with themselves for Scamming innocent Children who know nothing other than to trust.
It just makes no sense!

Scamming happens everyday. o_o

TIP: If you ever get scammed, DON'T USE CALL FOR HELP!! Use contact us!! If you report the scammer using Call For Help, they'll tell you to not abuse the call for help button. If you use contact us, they'll do something about it.

Thanks for the warning. I see to many people saying: " Oh he promised me 10000 credits but he just stole my stitch hat "
