First scam ever: Sending

So let's start with the first entry in the book.

"Send me an item and I'll send you one back!"

A long time ago, this was the only way to trade. I remember it. But some cleaver scammers took an item, but didn't give the promised item.

It's story time.

A wolf named Miss FutureNinja wanted a white glove for her black glove. But she discovered she didn't have to give a jammer a black glove for it. One day, a tiger named Expert SnowyStar had a white glove, but he wanted a black glove. Expert asked Miss to trade. Expert went first. He sent Miss his glove. One second latter, Miss was gone. He lost his white glove, and had to wait for them to be back in the store to get another one.

The trade system sorta got rid of that. But to this day, scammers still use this method. Another way of this method is to say your trading sytem is not working. More jammers tend to trust them.

To this date, this is the most known scam. The trade system was created for a reason...

I did not take these pictures, and I take no credit of them. They are just examples of this scam.
