Ok, so here's my attempted scam story. Notice I say attempted.
Girl: Hi, are you trading girl pirate?
me: Sure, what would you like to offer for it?
Girl: well I have a red stich code for trade
me: red stitch code? what is that?
girl: red stitch code for a stitch hat that is red
me: huh?
girl: you know just like the blue on but red
me: hmm, never heard of that before
girl: well i will trade the red stitch code for girl pirate hat shirt and shoes
me: umm, can i see the red stitch hat?
girl: i need to put the code in first
me: ok well do that and then we trade
girl: no first do accept then I come back after put code in and give you hat
me: i dont think so put code in first then we trade
girl: well my computer doesn't work that way
girl: I can only do on part of the trade at a time
me: nvm then not interested
**end trade**
First of all I thought it was really weird that I had never heard of a red stitch hat. I have only been playing for like eight months but read everything I can possibly get my hands on for game info, so I am pretty sure this doesn't exist. Secondly, If she did have a red stitch hat then why would she trade for my girl pirate outfit, it's not a very rare item. Duh. Anyway, I left the trade when she became so flighty about why she couldn't enter the code first and then how she couldn't do both ends of the trade at the same time. Then a girl I know was in the same room and she started a trade with her immediately after me. I started reporting her while they were trading. As soon as the trade ended I asked my friend to trade and she had tried the same thing with her. She thankfully did not fall for it either. Just thought I should let everyone know about my mysterious RED STITCH hat encounter.
