A deal ever sounded to good to be true? Often times it is in the real world, and often reigns true in the Webkinz World we have all come to enjoy, we would like to believe there would be nobody to take advantage of trusting kids or oblivious Webkinz owners but sadly, that is just not true. Where do the scammers strike most often though? Most would believe it starts in the game, however often times it begins elsewhere, on the forums Webkinz players visit on a daily basis.

Whether carrying on conversations or setting up the next big trade to get you the new secret recipes, or even that exclusive bed Webkinz forums are quickly becoming the trading hub  of the Webkinz community, and it is also on the steady rise of scummy scammers hanging out in the shadows.

Often times scammers just do the typical “You send me this first, then I will send you this” and never deliver but some scammers take it to the next step, stealing account information, stealing all of your stuff, and sometimes even deleting your account that you spent time and money on!

Safeguard yourself !  Don’t give your user name or password to any non-official Webkinz site, or ANY user and please if you are on a forum, check to see if the user you are trading with has a good trading past! Often times if they are a scammer other users will know and will warn you! Ask around, and be smart and you can be scammer free in your Webkinz world!
