the definition of scam is getting something for nothing that doesn't belong to you. It is lieing to get what's not yours. It can be as simple as someone not training your horse, or as bad as stealing your account, using all your money and animals, or even getting you banned. It is also called "hacking" on some sites. The most important thing is don't ever give your account password and/or username to anyone ever. Don't do it. Even if it's someone you know. Let's say you give your password and username to your sister. They give it to their friend. The friend sees free cash and loggs on and takes all your stuff.
This makes it very hard to recover your stuff, because there is absolutely no proof of who did it,or if you really got scammed at all.
You can report someone to site admin who doesn't do what they're supposed to do, like not training your animals. [/b]Make sure you have proof
this will work:Blablabla (players number) said that they would train my dog for 80k by this date. (gives screenshot) a week later I asked them why they hadn't yet. They said they were almost done, so I gave them 3 days and made it clear to them that the dog needed to be trained by then. (gives screenshot) Three days later, they sent the untrained dog back, took my money back, and put me on ignore
this won't work: Oh no, blablabla said that they would train my dog and even though they said they needed more time I didn't listen and told them to train and now they're gone and they gave me my money back but don't you think thats really mean and will you give me money???
remember, you can never get something for nothing. if something seems too good to be true, it is. I cannot stress this enough
well, it took me over half an hour to write this, so you guys better listen!!! lol, just kiddin. |

I guess this is helpful,but common sence should tell people not to release any personal information. |

no one was scammed, just alot of people have been asking what scamming is, and I was bored, so I wrote this. And, unfortunately, some people need common sense jammed into their head before they get it. |
