I can't believe they would lie like that, though. I mean, we're just here to trade!

Here is another guy trying to use the "Wishing Stump" Con saying that this stump will grant you wishes because it's from the charm forest! Stay away from this guy, he's usually a lion. Now he is something else.

I din't read all the posts on this thread, so not sure if this one was mentioned or not, but thought it worth mentioning.

I was in a plus trading room last night, agreed to a trade, 2 items for my 1 exclusive. The other player then pushed "ready to trade", and encouraged me to do the same. When I would push ready, he would then take one of the items down, and again say "push the button". At first I thought maybe it was just a mistake, and advised I wouldn't trade unless he put the other item back, and cancelled the trade to give a chance to try again. Again with the same routine.

Finally I just exited the trade, 5 minutes later he was asking me again to trade and I simply refused. I try really hard to be honest with all trading partners, advised another trader last night that the gift box storage didn't include a gift, just storage and the trader was grateful for my honesty.

I just wish all players would be honest, a child could have easily been taken by the player trying to remove his items after the trade had been agreed on. I think most scammers are probably adults, as I doubt most kids would think to try to scam like this, it would be nice if they would stop to think that WW was intended for children and conduct themselves accordingly. It takes a special kind of jerk to try to cheat a child!

I have a tip.
If you traded with someone and got sammed, right down the name, first 3 letters of username if you don't already have the full username, and animal. Even if it's a common name for the animal, at least you have some of the username and you know not to trade with them. And always report them when you can!
