I had a thread from ages ago, from when some scammer tried to play a "Game" with my obviously young sister. I'll post it here, so other older siblings/parents can tell their little ones about it.
"My little sister likes to go to the trading room a lot. She's one of the "rich" webbies, wearing all the snazzy clothing (wacky, witch hat, cat shirt). Unlike most of the "rich" people on WW, she's very, very young, and when she talks in KC+ it's pretty obvious she's a little kid.
Anyway, a few days ago, this german shepherd invites her to trade. They ask her for her witch hat, so she brings it up. They bring up something of much lesser value. She "frowns" at their item, and they started to say how they have items of higher value, if she'll send. Of course she refuses (I've taught that kid well!), so they tell her (being very polite too) how all she needs to do is click ready to trade, and then reject. And then they'll do the same and it'll be a fun "game". (I believe the result of the game would be her accidently clicking accept trade)
Had she not had someone watching her, she probably would have played this "fun game".
This might seem like something that an older child or adult would realize was bad, but a younger kid can easily not see a problem. It makes me cringe to think that people would attempt to scam someone, just because they knew they were young. I would warn little kids about this, just because it might sound like a fun game, trading room games will always end sourly."
This thread was from awhile ago, but I can guess their are some nasty WW players still trying to play this game.
I HATE! it when I seeolder people trying to scam little kids. An Idea for Ganz would to have 2 KC+'s, one for kids like, 10 & under, and another for kids 11 & up. It is sad to see little kids lose their items 'Cause someone was mean and selfish.
OK, so right now I am apparenlty trading with Justin Beiber, *Sarcasm*
This is really new.

Sometimes members be rude because they can be impatient. When I try to trade with someone, I usually have severe trouble to and I don't snap like that (and I'm an adolescent).
OK, so a girl was trying to tell me that her account had been robbed yesterday, but she was wearing a deluxe hat and slips. I questioned her until her story turned out like this:
Her account was being robbed for a long time (To get rid of all her items) but they sold all her stuff and bought more stuff that they sent to their own account but the didn't take the deluxe hat cause' it can't be traded or sold (Which I'm pretty sure it can, but I'm not positive) and someone had given her slips and all she had left was almonds.
Haha I've had all of these xD It's like... DO YOU REALIZE I'M A EDIT WHO HAS A BRAIN COMPACTED WITH KNOWLEDGE AND IS NOT AN IGNORANT CHILD... Do you think I'd believe this? Bye
Please no giving away info regarding your age. Thanks! AM57

I had a great trade earlier with someone, their pet St. Bernard named Bernie was dressed up nice, they were polite, it was awesome. Soon after we traded they started telling people they were Justin Bieber. .__.
How about, "Item A does ____!" (Item A is a PSF, and the thing it does is normally claimed to be animated.) "It's an unreleased item!" Then you send "Why would you have it?" "My dad is the president of the webkinz company!"
An example for this idea: (This is an example. This DIDN'T happen to me)
(me)Hi Hi! I want some rare clothes Here! (puts up rare clothes) Ooh! *puts up its own PSF and clicks ready to trade* Sorry, that isn't fair. Yes it is! This is a real working gumb ball mashine! It gives you won (1) gum ball a day! OK! Cool! (clicks trade)
*gets home* *trys to put in room,* Hey! Its a food!
