Hello readers! I would just like to thank you all for all the support, and compliments I have received about this series! It really means a lot to me! I have been recognized so much, that I had to go to the situations this week on a side account. This week, I decided to do a segment on scamming.

I had two actors go to South Beach, and "plot a scam." They loudly talked about how they wanted to get this one Whyvillian's rares, but didn't want to pay for them. (the scammers are near the bottom left.)

They say they are going to pretend their java won't work at Trading Post, and that they will WhyCash clams, while the person they are scamming sends them the part. It is a classic scam. Then, our scammy (Another actor) walked in. Let's see if anyone says anything . . .

So far, no one has come up to help the helpless scammy.

Then, the final phase happened - they tell her the scam.

You see the girl with the box? She actually tried joining in on the scam. When I went to talk to her afterward, she poofed. Hmmm . . .

Then, I surprised everyone by telling them it was all a setup.

Now, this girl with the circle had whispered to our scammy telling her not to do it, because it was a scam. Afterwards, I went up to talk to her, Her username was Yaneth13. She said that she thought scamming was wrong, and she didn't want our scammy to be scammed. (Try saying that 5 times fast.) She was the only one who stood up for the scammy.

Sadly, after that, I could not find time to redo the situation, but hopefully you have gotten a good idea of the situation. If you see someone planning to scam someone, or hurt someone, or do anything to them, step in. Save someone. Help out.

I wanted to finish by apologizing to cowcow32. She was featured in my last article as having been sort of a bad guy, and people have really begun hating on her. The point in this was not to show who was the good guy, and who was the bad. The point was to see how people would respond in situations, and sometimes, people are going to respond badly. Everyone does. So, before I you can insult anyone ask "What Would You Do?" if put in that situation. This situation made me really reconsider whether or not to give out usernames. I always ask permission, but still. I think I will continue to.

Remember, everyone, always do right, because you never know who is watching. Thank you.

Author's Note: I would like to thank our "scammy," Tanibanan, as well as Imalover5, and Jwenny for being the scammers. You all helped me a lot. I would also like to think you readers once again, for all the kind support and help. Thank you all!
