WARNING: There are still reports of the so-called "fake coin" scam.  Until this is fixed, we would advise YoVillians to NOT trade their valuable items.

    Elektronika's TOP TRAPS List
     

  • DOUBLE COINS – Claim to double/triple your money, sometimes with a ‘cheat code’ in 2 separate trades.  You are asked to put the amount of money you want doubled, and to check off AGREE first. Once they get your money, they may kick you and run off with your coins.  If what they claim is true, then they should be able to double your coins in ONE trade. 

          NOTE: DO NOT CHECK OFF AGREE UNTIL YOU SEE THE ITEM/COINS AGREED

                      UPON IN TRADE BOX.      

  • VIPVIP STATUS IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT IS COMING SOON.  Users will try to sell VIP cards/passes/tickets.  Scammers have tried to pass of blue towels as VIP passes. The VIP areas (Sky Nightclub, Furniture Store) are still under construction. VIP robes and pink hair were accidentally released for a short time.  A few lucky YoVillians got their hands on these items. 

          NOTE: YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN VIP BECOMES AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU

          SIGN IN TO YOVILLE, AN ANNOUNCEMENT WINDOW POPS UP INFORMING YOU

          OF NEW ITEMS OR ANY CHANGES. 

  • RATE AND GET PAID- Events may read “Rate and get 10coins”, “Rate, get a prize”.  Once you give the owner a thumbs up, and ask for your coins or prize, owner will KICK YOU OUT.
 
  • CHEAT CODES- There are no cheat codes.  Cheat codes that claim to give you unlimited coins, speed or energy.  
 
  • CLONE ITEMS- Cloning tricks that claim to clone your items, thereby giving you more and more of any given item.
 
  • PAGEANTS- There are fees for participating ($10, $25, $100 or even more).  Participants beware, that the host could have a friend in the room that may have been selected as the winner ahead of time.    
 
  • NEW USERS ONLY- new YoVillians are lured into these events thinking that they will be given information, tips or instructions about the game.  The owner will try to sell VIP tickets, double your coins or sell cheat codes.
 
  • FREE STUFF/LEAVING YOVILLE- Once in their apartment, the owner is nowhere to be found. 
 
  • 50 PEOPLE IN YOUR APARTMENT, AND GET 5000 COINS- There is no reward for having “x” amount of people in your apartment. 
 

    NOTE:

    • WHEN TRADING, REMEMBER TO CHECK THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM TO MAKE SURE IT IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR.  YOU MAY CHECK BY HOVERING YOUR CURSOR OVER THE ITEM IN THE TRADE WINDOW. A POP-UP WILL APPEAR WITH THE ITEMS DESCRIPTION.
    • ON RARE OCCASIONS, PEOPLE DO DOUBLE COINS, DO GIVE  YOU COINS FOR RATING, HOLD LEGITIMATE PAGEANTS.
    • CHECK THE ROOM RATING OR THE MESSAGE BOARD FOR ANY INDICATIONS OF DISHONESTY

Re: i got scammed

BEWARE of this scheme, the scammer doubles your money in one trade to gain your trust and then tells you if you would like to try again, BUT this time he only checks off agree and DOES NOT add any money. Keep your eyes open for this one, i've seen people fall for it. NOTE: YoVille admins/developers/moderators have a little yellow badge beside their name.

Scam avoidance

Don't be in such a rush to get more money when you're new to the game. Get yourself a crew. If you have few or no friends who have the app, go to the bottom of the page in the game where it says "page built by Yoville" and click on the blue "Yoville" word. That will take you to their forum/discussion boards. Look for "Official Crew Thread" and find people for crews. Then remember you can log on every 6 hours. I log on 7am just to go to factory, then in the afternoon and evening. Money accumulates fast that way.
If something is too good to be true, it probably is. I have gotten very good prices from legit sales, just be picky about where u go.
If you have a group of friends you hang out with, all of you immediately report any scammer you notice (like outside the apts).
And remember it takes only a few seconds to change your name in the settings, so any scammer can change it and keep scamming while we're looking out for them by another name.
If you notice someone new who's sort of "lost" invite them to the diner or the coffee shop (too crowded most of the time in front of the apts) and have a private conversation and help them with the right info.They'll appreciate it. I know. I got a lot of buddies that way.
This is a game people; let's keep it enjoyable.

Re: Scam avoidance

Hi Silverfire
Thank you for all the helpful information, it's appreciated. And yes, let's keep it enjoyable! :) REMEMBER YOVILLIANS TO CHECK ITEM DESCRIPTION (put pointer over item) BEFORE CLICKING AGREE DURING TRADE.

DANCE FLOOR SCAM

Scammers say they are selling dance floor for cheap price (like 8000 or so) to lure you in, you go to their apartment and see that they do indeed have a dance floor. But during trade they wait for you to load ur coins, they will then load a black and white tiled floor hoping you wont pay attention and would click agree! So beware!! Dance floors in trade screen is always in multi colored panels! Not plain!

Re: Name: Christina

Hi, beware some scammers work in pairs or groups. People in the same room may claim that the scammer does double. Also beware of a new scheme, the scammer doubles your money in one trade to gain your trust and then tells you if you would like to try again, BUT this time he only checks off agree and DOES NOT add any money. Keep your eyes open for this one, i've seen people fall for it.

Re: Re: Privacy Issue

APPLICATIONS>EDIT>YoVille. Under WALL tab choose "Prompt me before publishing any stories from YoVille".

I was having the same problem before, and i posted on the YoVille forums but did not receive any answers. I tried different settings, and this (as stated above) is the one that worked for me. My friends DO NOT see any notifications from YoVille anymore :)
