Hey there everyone! Today is a GREAT DAY! Because we have some REALLY, REALLY interesting going on!
Someone's trying to steal my account!
Now, you might think, "Wow, that's terrible!" NO. It's not!
I'm not someone who would fall for something like this, and I'm going to have a lot of fun analyzing this. It's great for me and TERRIBLE FOR THIS PERSON.
BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM. I think the person who actually sent me this knows about this blog, since how else would they get my email?
Oh well.
Anyway, let's read the email, shall we?

Wowww... My account might get hacked! OH NO!!!
Those links right there, they only lead to AJ safety info on animaljam.com, they're not necessary but they're not inappropriate or misleading or anything.

So let's take a look through this email.
"by providing the following in information."
Providing the following IN information? What?
"-New Parent Email: (If necessary)
-Membership purchase receipt: (if any)"
Weird capitalization errors.
"to verify your membership purchase if one, please send a full, unedited screen-shot of your receipt to our support team. "
Screenshot doesn't have a dash, lol. And capitalize. And this is just... Why would I need to send you a screenshot of this stuff? LOL.
"We truly appreciate our Jammer's and their families"
No apostrophe on Jammers.
"as a reminder"
Capitalize.
You know, I probably shouldn't be helping them fix up their email, because then they can scam better. Buddy, you're not very good at scamming.
First of all, AJ doesn't have a gmail.
"ajhqonlineheipservices@gmail.com"
Wow. You couldn't get an email that spells help right? That is the fakest email ever. "heip" I mean, really?
So. SARAH G. Whoever you are... HM.
You want my credit card information. REALLY. YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO CREDIT CARD FRAUD ME.
WOW. YOU HAVE DRAWN A LINE. This isn't some dumb attempt to steal my RIMs. This is a legit attempt to get my credit card information. Steal MY MONEY IN REAL LIFE. Sighhhhh... WHY. LOL. You're really finding my username and blog online just to do this?! You probably play AJ yourself... LOL. DON'T DO THIS.
To whoever tried to steal my account, if you're reading this:
(I do not swear nor will I ever on this blog, however, keep in mind that I say some mean things here, which I think this person deserves)

When I think of AJ scammers, I don’t get mad. When I see someone yelling in Jamaa that they got their rare stolen, sure, I feel bad for them, but they’re learning, and they’ll soon learn that rares aren’t too hard to get. Most scammers on Animal Jam are kids who don’t really know what they’re doing, and most of the time are easily identified. BUT I GET ENRAGED WHEN PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY CLEVER. I’m talking about older kids / adults who actually know how to scam properly, these are people with genuinely bad intentions. If you were just a kid… A kid with a lazy attempt to get rares… I wouldn’t care.
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
YOU ARE TRYING TO GET MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD. YOU ARE TRYING TO RUIN MY ACCOUNT, MY RARES, AND MY MONEY. Asking for my credit card info? If you were just a kid, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you. BUT NO KID TRIES TO SCAM A CREDIT CARD. YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW THIS IS WRONG. You have bad intentions. Which makes you a terrible person. And so… Here’s what I have to say you.
WOW. REALLY. Are you so lazy, so heartless, so MEAN that you have to resort to stealing? You are the SCUMMIEST OF SCUM. You are taking complete advantage of people who don’t know what they’re doing. I am deeply sorry that you have stooped so low in life that you're doing things like this. Yes, people on Animal Jam are dumb, and I reckon that you'll find someone who falls for your little charade rather easily... However, not me, and I'm calling you out. YOU ARE A SCAMMER. You are scamming people, I don’t care how clueless Jammers are, YOU. DON’T. DO. THAT. AJ scammers are bad enough, but they are stealing pixel items. YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL ACTUAL MONEY, WHICH MAKES YOU THE DEFINITION OF HUMAN GARBAGE.
STAY AWAY FROM MY BLOG, ALL OTHER BLOGS, AND THE ENTIRE ANIMAL JAM COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE NO PLACE HERE. D:
Here’s some legit advice:
Stop scamming. You're not very good at scamming anyway. DON'T GO DOWN THIS ROAD. You will end up at a sticky end. What you are doing is illegal. You still have time to stop this terrible habit. But people like you end up in jail frequently. I would love to see you not end up in jail. And so... Stop scamming. Make some friends. Make the world a better place. Make money the right way. I hope you make the better choice, feel free to check out my blog and the blogging community (unless you’re already in it :O), you don't have to reveal yourself, but you're always welcome here if you need a friend. You'll have a much better life through friendship, honesty, and hard work than this life of lies. Trust me.
So… Stop scamming.
And if you're going to continue scamming, feel free to read two paragraphs up again. You're filthy and deserve a cart of porcupines forced down your throat. Then maybe you can't lie to people.
SORRY THAT WAS MEAN. :( Sorryyyyyy…
Okay, I'm done. Hey, whoever you are, I do hope you stop and you have a good life. And if you've scammed anyone successfully... Just... That's so mean... :(
Okay, I need to stop, lol. Sorry.
Hey, if you think this was harsh, it was. I have never been this aggressive in my life, lol. But if I was any dumber, this person would have my account information, my rares, and my credit card information. If anything, I gave them slack. And it’s likely they won’t see this. Hehehe…
I HOPE IT WAS ENTERTAINING THOUGH.
Anyway, in the case that they didn't see my message on this blog, I'm going to play along with them and see if I can get them to say something funny. So stay tuned on this blog. YOU WON'T FIND THIS ANYWHERE ELSE.
Anyway, let's have some fun!
There, I sent them an email.
"Do you want my membership purchase Credit Card / Address screenshot or my receipt of purchase screenshot?"
HOW IS THAT. That is pure bait. This is going to be funny, hey, if you're a scammer and you see someone asking if they should give you their credit card / address information, it REALLY INTERESTS THEM.
TO ALL JAMMERS:
NEVER GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION ONLINE. AJ WOULD NEVER ASK FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. NEVER PUT YOUR ADDRESS UP EITHER. Want to know if an AJ email is real or not?
First of all, they will end in animaljam.com on their email.
And they will likely have something fancy in the letter. If you are unsure if an email is legit or not, it's probably fake. STAY SAFE OUT THERE EVERYONE!!! Never, never, never give away your username and password in an email, AJ WOULD NEVER ASK FOR THAT. LOL.
Hey, thanks for reading.
Have a luxurious day and jam on!
Confession, when I made my username I made a typo
ReplyDeleteit was supposed to be gey instead of key.
I LIKE TO SCAM KIDS AND TAKE THEIR MONEY AND RARES
(jk.)
But that email.. wow
LOLLLLL. How dare you! XD
DeleteWoahhh, that email. I’m glad you didn’t fall for that! I highly doubt AJ would ask for your password because they could easily find it themselves.
ReplyDeleteI hope no one falls for this scam. DX
Yeah me too!
DeleteThank you! Lol. I agree with all of your statements. Unfortunately, no matter how bad a scammer is, they will usually find someone they can trick. Which is why we need better education about stuff like this, no education means that you can be taken advantage of.
DeleteConfession: Using an own email instead of parents, thus having no credit card.
ReplyDeleteDo you know that guy on YT, James Veitch who deal with these kinds of emails on a daily basis and makes the reply chain as long as they can? Very funny stuff.
Other than that, IDK why people do this. Easy money, yes. Dumb decision, yes.
Also asking for a password? Wow. Even AJHQ doesn't do that. Also AJHQ finding out an account being danger of being hacked? Is that even possible?
Yeah, I've seen that guy, he's pretty silly. I was thinking of him when I was messing with that scammer a few weeks ago. Yeah... I mean, yeah, AJ... I could probably understand an email from AJ like, "We leaked some passwords, please change yours ASAP." But they would never do something like that... THEY HAVE YOUR PASSWORD. Lol.
DeleteWow.... That person must be really dumb to try and trick you. Literally, use proper spelling. In plus, if they want a membership so badly, why don't they just buy one themselves?
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, they didn't cover up their tracks very well... Hehe... I don't know what their goal was, but mostly any alternative to this would've been a better solution. But as for why people don't get memberships, it's expensive, and sometimes your parents won't pay for one. (Even if you have the money, your parents are the only ones who can translate it online pretty much) IDK. Lol.
DeleteI think AJHQ has said directly that they will never ever email you asking for account information
ReplyDeleteThanks for making this post! It made me laugh lol
