I have a tip BFF!:

Don't friend random people in the clubhouse. This give them your username and the freedom to sit there and try and guess your password all day.

Great tips!

Here is something that I have thought about. And this enters my mind every time I enter the trading rooms.

If you just met this person on the street and they proposed a trade with you, and said that if you gave them your item, they would go home and bring back theirs, Would you trade?

Of course not. Then why do you trust someone you have never met, don't know anything about, and will probably never meet? It doesn't make sense to me.

I meet all kinds in the trading room. Sometimes it's just little kids wanting to trade something. When they put up food, I put up food. Then trade. No big deal. They are happy, and you can live with yourself. If someone is trying to scam or cheat, I will tell them so, and then say good-bye. There is no sense arguing with them, because they just don't get it and probably never will.

This is an awesome thread...I have come across people saying food items are beds, clothes etc...I would with recommend printing out recipes as well as pet specific food items...some are so cute they look like actual things and not just food. Also, if someone shows me a clothes item that was made in the style outlet and says that it is kinz style or rare retired items I say the item name of what it is and that no it can be made (sometime I tell the recipe) so that maybe someone else who is watching my conversation will not fall for it either.

When someone offers you food, saying its rare, or and item, just say you already have it, or exit out.

Thats a good tip, right??
