Beggars

We have all seen those beggars. The "gift me" people and the "I need donations cause I got hacked" people. When does begging get too far that we ca actually call them scammers? Many people have different views on this topic, but I will share what my opinion is.
If a jammer just says "Gift me" and such, I will just block them. No harm done. This way, I can't see what they are saying. It is very unlikely that I can get scammed, when I can't even hear them. Here are a few examples of people I would just report.


These jammers aren't demanding gifts or getting too out of hand. When can we call a beggar a scammer? I think a beggar becomes a scammer when they deal with "larger" items, such as rare spike and betas, and they get demanding. Below is an example of a jammer who I would not report for scamming. This jammer isn't demanding. I would just block him/her as I did.
As you can see, they want diamond items. Pretty expensive! The only reason I haven't reported him/her is because they aren't demanding.
Now, we have another beggar. This jammer is asking us to gift him a green  spike. I would not block this jammer just yet, so I can possibly get more proof. I would definitely record his username though. I followed this jammer to see if he is an actual scammer(a rhyme). Unfortunately, he left the world, so I couldn't find out. In this case, I would just block him and hope to never see him again.
Now to the extreme beggars. These are the beggars who are getting out of hand. There are many examples of this type of beggar, and I will show you one. Our first actual scammer is a real tested scammer. In fact, one of my friends got scammed by her. Let's take a closer look.
(Sorry about the "Pin it" on the upper left-hand corner.)
This scammer is telling us that if we gift her, she will gift back. If you ever get stuck in this situation, send them a bad item first. For example, send them a necklace. If they are a scammer, they will probably return it saying they need a better item. If you get to this stage, report the username for scamming, then report the jam-a-gram for scamming. Never continue, as you might get scammed. 
Please stay safe on Animal Jam! If anything doesn't seem right, leave and report. Remember, you can never get in trouble for reporting as long as you feel the need too.
