There are people out there that may scam you in a trade. As a forewarning, you should know who you are trading with, and see if they are reliable. If the worst should happen, you can report the trade you had with that member in this thread. Don’t create a new thread about it. You also have the option to PM a Moderator, should you want to deal with it privately.

Before you Report:

1. You need to confront your trade partner first (through PM, posting in the trade thread, or by messenger).

Tip! Be calm and reasoning. Yelling and being rude about it doesn’t help.

2. You’ve tried contacting your trade partner, but got no response. Generally, you should give the other person 1-2 days to respond. You may send another PM reminder, but not so many as to spam their PM box.

Things you can report:

1. Received any Pokemon you did not ask for.
2. Finding out your Pokemon was hacked.
3. Bad trading experience.
4. Suspicious activity.
5. Cloning theft.
6. Scammed of any sort.
