You just managed to trade for a cool rare and are sporting it around Jamaa Township, showing it off to the world. A random jammer you have never met before approaches you with a fantastic tale. They claim to know how to make your game run faster. Maybe they tell you they know how to get you more rares. They might even tell you a tale about how they can glitch items for you or they have a FREE CODE FOR A PET.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? IT IS. Pretty soon they will be trying to get you to download some app, give them ID codes that they guide you to, or even have you visit some site where you have to log in with your parent email and password in order to activate something “truly groundbreaking”.

Want to keep your account safe? Make a great password that is: hard for others to guess, that has lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols and don’t share it or use it on other sites.

Here are some ways you can LOSE YOUR ACCOUNT: Have a password that doesn’t follow the above guidance, share your password, follow someone’s instructions to go to some website and enter information such as your username, parent email or password or even a supposed code they gave you, following another’s instructions on how to find or give them a secret code, following someone’s instructions which include downloading an app, giving your parent email and password information away for free items that they will ‘deliver to your account’, following instructions to visit a YouTube video and click a link in a video comment.

If it doesn’t seem legit, IT’S NOT. If you can’t do it in game by design or they claim they have to ‘tell you outside the game’, IT’S NOT LEGIT. Be safe, play the game, have fun. Don’t fall for these kinds of tricks and scams!
