This story starts a few hours ago, casual mid-afternoon. I got a discord message from someone asking to catalog a K.K. Slider song I listed on Nookazon. I normally have a wishlist on there, but I finished it this morning and hadn’t made a new one yet, so instead of trading, I was asking for between 10-15k per song. This girl asked to catalog all 53 of my songs on hand. I asked for 550k (thats 10,377 bells per song, which I think is a decent deal if I do say so myself).
This is where the story gets interesting. She said her friend wanted to come over and catalog too, and I said sure. She even said that her friend would drop off the 550k too. At this moment, I was ecstatic. 1.1M for just dumping my songs on the ground? Sign me up! After dumping the bells and cataloging the airchecks, one of them ran away. I soon found her in my PHAT diy pile. She was perusing them, which put me on edge. I contemplated dc’ing (which I probably should have done) but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. She claimed that she wanted to “pick them up and put them in a pile to buy” and I told her she can make a list on discord and tell me the ones she was interested in. I explicitly told her not to pick them up. Shortly after that, my switch died.
She wanted a few of the higher end diys, but not my actually rare ones (she asked for zen style stone and garden rock but not my cool windflower wreath). We worked out a deal for 3M for 9 diys total (which I thought was generous considering her selection). She said that her abd only had 2M so we changed it to 2M for 5 (which was also a pretty decent for that list of DIYs). She also claimed that her friend lost the songs in her catalog, so she wanted to come back to recatalog. I laid out the diys we agreed on and let them back into my island.
You might see where this is going. She dropped off only about 1.3M of the agreed 2M and I called her out. She picked up the diys and then her friend came over. This was the big mistake. The game forced a save but I didn’t put the pieces together. She then went over to my diy pile and started picking them up. I dc’ed right then and there, but the damage was already done. I called her out rather aggressively on discord and she basically admitted to the whole plot.
Her motive? My rate of cataloging 10k/song was too high. What???
She claimed that touch trading doesn’t cost me anything and insinuated that I was exploiting people (or something along those lines). She also tried to act like a Robin Hood and said that she normally was a good trader but it was fun to steal from me.
But wait a second here. I earned a total of 2.4M bells and I only lost 5 diys (she claimed she stole others but I doubt it). So if “I lose nothing by touch trading” I actually made an extra 400k, so idk who the biggest loser is because the Nookazon mod I talked to said that she’s most likely getting banned.
Interesting notes: the diys she stole were Cutting Board, Stone Lion-Dog, Knitted Grass Backpack, Zen-Style Stone, and Garden Stone. She claimed she stole others of my valuable diys, but some diys she did NOT steal are Gold Armor, 2x Infused Water Dispenser, Golden Dishes, and like 5 other crown/wreath diys among others. The whole conversation on discord was 19 screenshots long and they admitted to the whole plot and their “motive” behind it. If anyone wants to read the chat, you can dm me
TL;DR
Two girls tried to scam me by forcing a save when visiting because they didn’t like my rate, ended up paying more than what I valued the diys they stole at, and got banned from Nookazon.
Moral:
NEVER LET SOMEONE “BRING A FRIEND” TO ANYTHING
This probably was my fault, but I guess what I want to say is thanks to everyone here that doesn’t steal from people. I appreciate all of you =)
Edit: I’m glad I didn’t buy turnips this week lmao

I'll be laughing about that "motive" for dayyys.
