Just Saw This on Yoworld Pageant Resource! I've been hearing it a lot at Pro pageants too.

It's a shame that people want to scam other's in my book of Yoworld survival is never trust anyone or anything no matter how to good it seems..We live in a cruel virtual world were it's either one thing or it's another

Just ignore the Pay to play pageants and go to the FREE ones.

I go and try to warn others from wasting their coins. I often get kicked, but if I can save somebody from giving a scammer some coins, it is fine by me.

Not all Pay to Play are scams.
My daughter has been doing them since she's been in YoWorld.

She posts on the wall how many people are playing.
Depending on how many people play, that's the prize she gives out.

If there are 12 there then they get 12,000
If there are 30 then the winner gets 30,000.

So not all pay to plays are scams.
She's been doing this for a while and people look for her pageants on events.

A majority are. And those that are legitimately doing it are only helping the scammers. If you can't afford to host a pageant thenEither don't or say it's for fun. Lots of pro's go to the just for fun ones and if the like the host often give the host coins or gifts. So yes Stop all Pay to play, Don't ignore Report them.

Some of the free ones are "scams" too..........and no, since it's free, you don't lose anything except time. I went to one the other day. After about 5 minutes, she started kicking us all out.........lol....we all landed at Altons and said "WTH was her problem"?"............. :lol:

You should participate in free pageants, page pageants, or just show off your style in the forums. Never pay to enter a pageant, contest or spin and win type things.

Yes, not all pay to play are scams. There are lots of regular Pageant Hosts who ask for fee and absolutely don't scam anybody. You may have to visit a few pageants and sit and watch before entering and see how the host runs the show. You'll soon find out if it's a scam. If you ask the host if it's ok to sit and watch how it's done...the host won't mind, if the pageant is legit.
