Thanks so much for the great information. I was in a trading room yesterday and someone was trying to tell me that food was a Superbed. When I reported him though I got an email saying that I needed to be careful who I turn in.

No problem! I'm sorry that you almost got scammed. Luckily you knew and didn't fall for their trick! One of friends said that too, they reported someone for being mean and callnig people names and they got a letter like that. All well, at least it is the thought that counts!

I have almost got scammed! There was a cheeky cat and she told me her pet item was a bed! It was actually her food she tried to give me! Then i asked her if she was telling the truth and she said that she would never lie! I told her that the thing she put up was her pet food and she said that i was just plain mean and I had no idea what I was talking about ( somthing alongh those lines) and then said i was mean and told people that they should not trade with the Orca whale named Orca! I was so angry and I reported her and then got a letter telling me to be careful who I report! well things happen! Thanks for the guide! It is awsome!

Thank you very much for the very valuable information. We have had a lot of experiences in the trading rooms too. We usually announce to the whole room that you should not trade with a certain webkinz due to scamming. They usually leave the room when that happens. Some one tried to tell us the fried fro fra was a revolving light machine. They said it would make your room sparkle. Another person told us that the cow food was money grass. It would grow money and throw it around the room and your webkinz could catch it. Another said that a food was a rain making machine. It would make it rain in your room. Another said that a smoothie was a whole new world, whatever that means. As you can see we have had our fair share of dealing with scammers. Good luck to everyone who trades in the trading rooms. I still think the best place to trade is right here on Webkinz Insider. People know the value of items and are very fair. The only draw back is the time involved in completing some trades here. I have waited sometimes 2 days for a trade to be completed. Thank you again.

No problem! And I'm sorry you had such a bad experiance in the Trading Room. Hopefully these Scammers will stop soon.

Yes, I hope they do. I think that Webkinz should have people that go into the trading rooms and make sure people aren't scamming or talking rude. That would be very nice.

[Strawberry Jam]

Yeah! That is a great idea! They could be little Trading Room Police

If you want you can add this to your guide. If you are trading with someone and they say a food is an exclusive, dont immediantly exit! I trade a lot and one time there was a whimsy dragon that showed me the floridisa and sayed it was the most exclusive rare item ion all of webkinz world! I was very angry that she lied to me but instead of exiting i asked her if she if was telling the truth! She said she would never lie so i told her that the thing was only a food. She said Sorry over and over and said someone told her it was exclusive and she traded her pet item, a super bed and a magical charm forest table for it! She was so happy that i told her! Some people just dont know! Then i showed her my Toucan food and she thought it was a dance floor! She tried to trade me three super beds for it! If I was a scammer i could of hit the Jackpot! But I will NEVER EVER be a scammer so i told her! So if someone shows you something just ask them if they are telling the truth and then confront them! If they exit, they probably new they were lieing to you! If they say I am sorry I did not know, They prob got scammed and just went on what that person was saying! I trade a lot in kinz chat plus and that how I know all this! Also if they saythey didnt know Ask them if they are new to trading! The whimsy dragon was new! So if they say yes give them a few pointers! Someone did that to me and I was so grateful to them!!!! I am sure they will be grateful to you also!!! Just thought I would share! again thank you for the awsome guide!!!!!!
