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) |

Thank you so much for this advice. I have been scammed, luckily not when trading items of much value, but I still felt cheated. More people should be warned about scammers. 0 players like this post! Like? |

#1 Lioden pet peeve are people who have everything on their branch for max sb price, even a common item/decor/backgrounds. Sure it may not be listen at the top, but they're there. Meanwhile the top one could simply be 10sb. I know Lioden can't regulate that feature because there's too many items, too many players. But they should know how to be fair and price things fair. I'm sure there's even people out there that are like: "be fair" or "no lowballs" in their stud rules, or when allowing someone to offer on their trade, then price something extremely cheap, let's say a pet rock, for max sb or a bunch of gb. (While pet rock is rare, it is pretty a useless item, and even decor may I add)... These kinds of people should just be banned from being allowed to trade and make trades, to be honest, let them suffer from too many lionesses and overcrowding as valuable things/lions run away. See how they feel when they overprice and no one can get it even when it's right there. Of course this wouldn't ever happen, but in another world it really should. Call it "Hell for scammers and hypocrites of Lioden". 0 players like this post! Like? |

Well, I’ve seen somebody selling a Nacarat heritageless GROUPIE as a “Rare raffle lioness!” This should be prevented and monitored. Sadly I turned away and forgot to report it as such 0 players like this post! Like? |

WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE BUYING EVENT SHOP ITEMS. Oftentimes they'll request to buy balls/cows/barks or other valuable event items for very low compensation, and then turn around to sell them quickly. Be wary and price check everything in branches/sales chat before selling. For a reference: Lion scrotes: average 15-25 gb, given the time of year Buff balls- 20-35 gb Gmo cows- 30-45 gb Yoh barks- 10-15 gb Crunchy worms- 25-40 gb 0 players like this post! Like? |
