Newbies are being targeted by experienced players, please share this to spread the word! Scamming is the worst, and it's when a person tells you that they need xxx and will ''pay you later'', but they never do, and they make off with your xxx Here are surefire ways to get scammed Traditional studding What is it? It's when you send a lioness along with a payment of ### to have her bred. The breeder keeps her for 3 days (you can't transfer pregger lionesses) and waits for the cubs to be born. Traditional breeding is unsafe. Just because there are honest studs doesnt mean all studs are nice. I've heard stories of people doing traditional breeding and they had their lioness stolen. But i recommend using the current system because it is much safer then sending your lionesss over to an *unknown* person. Staff can't give you your lioness back, but they can persuade the scammer to give you the lioness back. User suggestions Also, transfering items to a person when they say they "will pay soon" and never does. Better to make the trade private and send them the link, keep it up until they actually buy the trade out. ~Sheba (Double Russet!) (#52208) Also, ARTISTS, never send not watermarked full size piece before someone pays you! Small, heavily watermarked one first. Finished one, after payment. Always! ~Ranfun [PFM] [OC] (#46507) Also a thing I see: people selling elderly lionesses who can't breed :/ Especially when they're advertised in breeding terms, like..."Celestial Lioness 10 marks High Stats." It's not exactly lying or against TOS but for newer players who don't know better it's super misleading. ~Scyllarus (#26842) *lionesses cannot breed after 14 years of age ALWAYS read through an offer on a trade, someone may of offered you 8SB rather than the 9GB buyout asking price. You may accidentally click thinking it's GB but make sure to read through thoroughly because this has happened multiple times, luckily I haven't been a victim but I know it was a big problem back in the early days of lioden. ~sanguai (#61810) Sometimes people will go around and ask newbies if they could send their lionesses to them so that the experienced player (not the newbie) to "train the lioness". But then they'll end up keeping the lioness for themselves. ~~Simba the Fluffy Lion~ (#27778) I've seen people falsely advertise items, lions/lionesses, etc as something they aren't. For example, I've seen people advertise lions as "savage maned" when they were in demand for what looked like a great deal. But closer inspection of the lions in question I saw that they had a different mane. But someone could easily be so excited about the "great deal" they are getting buy the trade out and not realize they got scammed till to late. Please check things out if a deal seems to good to be true! I seen people offer monkey business/oasis/event backgrounds as "RARE SPECIAL RAFFLE ONLY BACKGROUND". And they are selling they turn to be selling none raffle backgrounds for huge overpriced prices. Someone could be scammed by this thinking they are getting a very rare background. Only to find out it was not the case and the background they got scammed into buying could have been bought for a much cheaper price tag. Remember raffle exclusive backgrounds will have [Raffle] - in front of the name just like dynamic backgrounds will have [D] in front of the name. If it does not have [Raffle] - in front of it. It is not a special raffled background. Please note there is only been 4 different raffle backgrounds released and used in weekly raffles cycles thus far. They are "[Raffle] - Coast, [Raffle] - Hottentots Mountains, [Raffle] - Lush Oasis, and [Raffle] - Night Vegetation. ~Ivy (#2473) Pay close attention to branch prices. Sometimes you'll get something like a simple skull or feather with a price that reads "5 SB, 1 GB" which is incredibly sketchy to me. So pay attention to that when looking for things in branches. ~Lammergeier (#8680) {helper} *I advise new players to stay out of branches because they are usually overprices ex: 1 feather for 2gb If you are not sure about the pricing, ask {sales} chat! (but follow chat rules) Please, don't send items/lionesses to players just because they said ''will pay soon'' or ''i dont have the money, but i'll pay you soon'' Please, use the trading system to avoid any scammers. It's best to report them to the modbox with the screenshot of the pm. You can prevent someone's lion being stolen that way :) Think i missed something? Post here and i'll add it to the (growing D:) list  29 players like this post! Like? Edited on 23/09/15 @ 12:04:43 by Assassin <Mmsassy> (#27839) |

Saw this in the chat earlier: If you're doing clean breeding, even if the descriptions SAY the lion is clean, still be sure to check for yourself just to make sure that you're actually about to buy a CLEAN lion  0 players like this post! Like? |

I agree with Monster (ε¦ζͺ). You should always double check your prices, there's really no excuse to misprice something by accident. If you're new and are concerned about the value of an item, ask others. 0 players like this post! Like? |

going off of what Nova said; While yea, its up to the poster to make sure the price is correct..its still scummy to buy it and not give it back or pay actual price for it. Its taking advantage of a mistake. Luckily there are a bunch of nice people who will buy it and send the cub/item/etc back, or buy it then send the actual price to the poster, but theres still the ones who wont. I had it happen when i was new, and luckily the person sent me the real value after buying it and let me know to triple check my pricing! But then ive seen in outside groups, people will buy a mutie for the 1sb/etc it accidentally got listed as and then will block the poster. Just..dont be that guy. Its not hard to send the lion/item back. most currency youll lose is probably like 10sb or something, and ive known people to send back that SB since the person sent the item/lion back. 0 players like this post!

Unpopular opinion but all's fair in selling & trading lol Still though, I'd most likely give the item/currency back, but if it's really good then hmm, maybe you might get it back, maybe you might not, there's no rules regarding it. ~Just to clarify, if it's a valuable item chances are the player is most likely not new. Howeverrrr, I still have my morals. The thing is, it's not that hard to double check, especially if you're not new. 0 players like this post!

rules or not, its not exactly a nice way to play..especially if you do it to newbies. Me, personally, id cut my losses because i could easily make that back. Newbies cant. idc what it is..if you happily take advantage of someone, youre scummy. 'nough said and i wont continue this. 0 players like this post! Like? |

With the newest update, I'm sure "mistakes" are a lot less likely to happen now. 0 players like this post! Like? |
