Alright, I decided to make a guide about how to avoid getting scammed. I didn't post this in the guide subforum because it's not official and it's not a part of the game.

So lets say you are on the left and the person you plan to trade with is on the right. Also, make sure that you are not near your town gate for obvious reasons. So dig 3 holes: One to the right of you, one above you, and one below you so there's an opening on the left. The other guy is on the right. Have him do it too except the opening has to be away from you so the opening will be on the right. Drop your item and wait until he drops the money. (Or the other way around.) Run to grab his item exactly when the trader runs to get yours. CAUTION: A SCAMMER WILL PROBABLY DROP 100 BELLS OR THE WRONG ITEM! If you really don't trust the person, then you drop the wrong item and make sure the money he pays is the right amount before giving him the right one. And please remember to give him the right item, I'm NOT telling anyone to scam. Also, make sure to give the right item to the trader FAST.

If you end up getting scammed, then just scam them back in a week. invite them to your town pretending you forgot about how they scammed you. Do the same up there, but DON"T give them the right item back or the right amount of money. You just scammed a scammer! LOL!

We all wish life could be like this, but alas, it's not =P Nothing can really be perfect. But things can "seem" to be perfect.
 
I was kidding about the last part for those of you who didn't know... Unless you LIKED the last part, then I was serious! jk...

And this is for people who don't want to reset... I know resetting is an obvious way to deal with it.
