Safe Trading Notice

[Village Mayor-petsociety 0]

Welcome to Pet Society Fan Community

We are implementing new systems into PSFC to ensure safe trading.

1. Your Facebook/Myspace/Bebo link (whichever is applicable) must be in your profile before you start trading, all our Moderators and Admins will check all links of new members to ensure that they are real, users with suspicious or fake links will be investigated. If you do not enter your address a Moderator/Admin will request that you do so, if you do not enter it after being requested to by a Moderator/Admin then you will be banned from PSFC. If you are experiencing difficulties in adding your link message a Moderator or Admin straight away and then they can help you enter your link.

2. When registering for a PSFC account you will now be requested to verfy your email address before you can use your account, PSFC Admins/Moderators will also randomly check users email addresses for authenticity.

3. When trading please remember these simple rules:
-If a offer seems too good to be true...it probably is
-If you are ever suspicious about a post Report it! this can be done by clicking the "!" button in the post concerned, you can also do the same if you are suspicious about a member.

Some tips to help you stay safe:
-If you are trading with a new member you should request they send first or use a Safe Trade Referee, if they refuse to both then they are more than likly a scammer, no matter how good the deal is Call it off and Call a Mod
-Safe Trade Referees are there to help you, any trade big or small, so please use them and call upon them!
-Never ever trade for real money, it is against Playfish TOS and is also a high risk.
-Never give your PSFC, Facebook or any other password to anyone even your friends on here, the password is for you and you only. No Moderator/Admin of PSFC will ever ask for any password
-Complete all trades in the trading forum, Never ever complete a trade or take offers via PM, If someone sends a offer via PM then notify a Moderator/Admin and message the user and say they must post their offer in the forum.
-Look at the other users house before sending anything to them, if they are selling you rares or are offering to pay alot for items you are selling and their house seems empty or their pet seems poor...be wary, ask them to show you the items before trading, remember if in doubt Don't Trade, or Call a STR!

When you use a STR a password will be given to the seller from the STR and a different password given to the buyer from the STR via PM, WAIT FOR THIS PASSWORD, When the STR adds you via Facebook look at the message attached to the friend request, it will read something like: "PSFC STR: PASSWORD" (where PASSWORD is will be the password given to you via PM). If the password does not match, do not add the user and report it to a Moderator/Admin right away.

PSFC is working hard to keep you safe, we are increasing our membership to the forums and at the same time increasing the amount of moderators we have and ensuring we have moderators from different timezones to ensure that there is always someone here to keep a sharp eye on everything. With your help we can keep PSFC a safe place to trade.

Thank you everyone!
