How To Stay On Animal Jam's Safe Side: Scamming & Hacking/Viruses

Remember "fman122"? The hacker who carried/is carrying a virus in Jamaa?

Here's how to stay on the safe side:



     - Scamming:


When a Jammer says "Send me a good gift and I send one back!", never do it. You will be scammed and I saw it a few days ago.

If you want an item from someone and they say to add you and go to their den, don't do it. This is what can happen: They can put a different item on trade and say "Give me your best offer, trade me", and if you do it, they will accept it, un-buddy you, and leave.


- Hacking:

If you use a cool username, don't make your password your username backwards. Someone might try that, see it worked, and take everything on your account. It happened to my friend before. 

How to fix this problem:

Change your password to something hard to guess, but easy to remember, or make your password something like this (not my password):

i.l.o.v.e.c.h.o.c.o.l.a.t.e

- Viruses:


If people go around Jamaa saying a certain Jammer is carrying a virus, lock your den at all times. The Jammer will send you a Jam-a-Gram with a gift attached, and if you open the gift suddenly, you will be glitched and your account will no longer work. 

Remember the Glitched Jammer's username. If you're in the same room as them, stay in the crowd so they can't get to you, or leave the room. Do not open what they send you.

Once you go offline, lock your account. You can do that by going to your parent's dashboard, choosing your account, and click "Lock" .

Remember this: BRRR   . It means "Block, Report, Run, Recycle" It is the Jammer's code to stay safe.


Remember BRRR, and Jam On!
