'Donate Furniture' - Possible New Scam

[wowewe]

In the Light Blue TR 1 room #39, on October 21st, around 12:45, I encountered an American Cocker Spaniel named Muffin. Unfortuanetly, I wasn't able to get her WW ID.

Here's how our trade went:

Her: Will you donate furniture?
Me: wShop?
Her: I don't care.

Then I quit. I think this is a possible new scam to get free items. What do you guys think?

Hmm.. i don't think it's a scam
Cause if she doesn't care if it's W-shop then for me i don't think so

I think she was saying wShop to get people to THINK she's not scamming, get what I mean?

I don't think this was a scam. I think it was more like someone who occasionally goes into the trading room and says something like "I'm poor, can you help me?" I mean yeah, they are essentially asking for free items, but they are simply asking for them, not really trying to scam you in the literal sense of the word.

it might be,

i've heard a few pets in the clubhosue say ". . . i got this for pretending to be poor!!"

i've also seen a few people say, "can you donate things to the poor webkinz? you send items to me, and i send them to other webkinz who need them" . . . ummm... no.

so, either way, they're still looking for free stuff,
its up to you if you want to give them anything

Thanks for posting!

I always find that amazing that someone will spend the time begging in the clubhouse, when it's so much more fun to play games and earn the money to buy it.

That's definitely scamming.
