Scamming is tricking people into giving you their Items. There are many types of scams.

One type of scam is Drop Games. This type of scam involves other players dropping valuable items, such as world locks. The owner will then block off the items they drop. These scams are the second most common, Quitting scams being the most common. Quitting scams are just people who say they are going to quit but don't. It's really just a more believable drop game. Remember, don't fall for these scams.

A Trust Game/Challenge is a essentially another drop game, where the scammer asks people to drop items. He/she will get them and give back to make you trust in him/her. When the player drops an item the scammer likes, he/she will ban the victim and get the item.

Friendships also can be scams. A player asks people to add him/her as friends. The scammer can make the players believe that they are friends and there is nothing to worry about. Then he/she will ask access on the lock. When the player logs off, the scammer destroys the whole world and get the items. The he/she will delete the other player from the friend list. You should NEVER give access to random people/new friends.

Worlds with rare items (PATCHED) can also be used to scam. The scammer will broadcast something like: I sell world, cheap, RARE items here, COME FAST.... etc. He/she will show the player the rare items and then pull him on a different place to trade. Before the trade, an other player with access will steal the items. After the trade, the player will get a world without any rare items.
