so long story short, just a few seconds ago, i was scammed for my pixie borough blonde hair.. with someone i thought i could trust, my mistake. Just in case you run into these two people ( MrsStealyourman &Babybellaboo) they are scammers so please be careful
So basically the reason i am writing is not for my hair back, i can save up and buy another one, but just to warn people that you cannot trust people on yoville.
I for one never trust people on yoville, not even the close friends i have made on there, because of all the terrible things other people do, but today i thought id give it a shot, and it wasnt just me at this event it was another person, who was obviously in a partnership with mrsStealyourman.
There were so many red flags.. but i thought i might aswelll.. silly me, now ive lost my hair.
Anyway, i just find it really upsetting that as a yovillian since 2008, there is still scammers playing, which makes the game not worth playing. people these days are so selfish and they don't realise how scamming others effects people. So many people are scamming others, for things they have spent ages to save up for.
i know it was my fault for trusting them, but id like to think you could play a game where you can trust people and wont scammed, obviously not.
I think all trust tests should be banned, and once reported as a scammer they should be kicked off of the game and not be able to play again. i think its disgusting that so many people think it's okay to scam people and they get away with it.
Because as we all know there is a lot of younger people playing who have been playing for ages and have saved up for ages, for all the rare stuff they have, and there are horrible people out there that will manipulate them and new people to get what they want, just for a game.
it's absolutely disgusting.

To make things better, the scammers havent removed me as a buddy yet. obviously not as smart as they think, but obviously i cant join them because they kicked me so i cant return for another hour.

The trust test scam has been going on for as long as I can remember. As an 08 player as you say you are, it's bizarre that you've never heard of or came across a trust test. I feel bad for you, but honestly, it was your fault. You shouldn't be giving people your items just because you trust them, or whatever. I hope new people (and I guess players from the get-go aswell) see this post and are aware of the trust test scam

I agree 100% with you, it is my fault, and I was stupid and naive to think that you could actually trust people. I just thought in our modern society people would've grown up and stopped being so selfish and thought about other peoples feelings.
But id rather it being me scammed for something, than someone who has spent time and effort on particular items being scammed or even new people.,
I just think everyone reported for scam ( once checked to make sure it's a legitt case) should be banned from yoworld, as they are the ones that make people not want to participate anymore.
But I'm glad I fell for it' that way I can help get the word out about all the scamming.
I've taking it upon myself to start reporting alll the trust test events, in hope that those events/ players will be removed so that everyone can enjoy playing yoworld without the nuisance of scammers.

Exactly. Thank you for doing that. I try to report obvious scam events myself, like trust tests and double coins and stuff.
Scammers do make the game not fun, and it's not fair. But honestly, people will always find ways to take advantage of others

Trust tests are not worth it. If that person decides not to trust me then thats their problem, I will not fall for it.
