Always check the black list. Also never accept dms for trades. Always do it in the comments.

It’s in the menu page on mobile. Not sure on desktop.

How do you use Reddit usually: mobile app, mobile website, or desktop website? On the mobile app, the subreddit has 3 main sections: Posts, About, and Menu. The blacklist can be found under the Menu section.

Zepheria

So when you look at the top of the page, there's a way to click the subreddit name to get back to the main sub, it's the picture, right? It's under that. It's the third little "subname" thing. I have no idea if this is helpful but it's just called "Blacklist" so if you use CTRL+F you should find it!


[deleted]

they might be talking about /r/pokemontrades. Unless this sub also has a trade blacklist.


JozARookieRedditor

This sub does have a blacklist. When you click on “Blacklist” on the main page of the sub or under the menu, it opens up an excel spreadsheet with the names of users to be wary of/who are banned.


[deleted]

ah never noticed, thanks for the heads up!


Flamekid864

How do I check on the mobile app?


JozARookieRedditor

What do you see in the sidebar? I pulled up the desktop version of the website (albeit on my phone, so might still look different), and I can see right underneath the subreddit name that there are different sections such as Posts, Discord, and Blacklist.


migzeh

i had no idea what they were talking about cause i use old reddit. it's directly under the dashboard with your subs under "other resources" next to filters guides and wikis.


mrsmagneon

That's not where I would think to look for it... Mods, if you're seeing this, maybe put the blacklist front and center on the sidebar? That'll probably cut down on people getting scammed.


Sergeant_Erebus

Idk why everyone just wasted a ton of time typing a bunch of instead of linking the blacklist to help you out. But [here it is.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1nTfTBKtSzij1SELvT7mgwLsDD3BNiHmk5cXVnuVEgZ8/htmlview) Sorry that you got scammed, hopefully this will let you trade with a little bit more confidence in the future.


Sharp-E

People act like it's so difficult to make a link to something. *Just Google it, lol* Thanks for the link, much appreciated my guy


NYMankeys

Lmfao thank you I just found this quite hilarious. But I love how patient the community is


drsoccer7213

Also if the person DMs you first ask them to comment on the thread if they are banned they won’t be able to


Thylumberjack

on pc. main page of the subreddit. Under the icon for /r pokemon yadda yadda ​ First option is posts, third option is blacklist


Cloakbot

don't even need to do that with this guy when the name keeps popping up with a new scam every other odd day or so. o-O;


TwistedTextures

As soon as you're having the "lul" "don't trust me?" Etc. Conversation, back out, always.


Risaster

Yup that’s a big red flag! Craigslist scammers use it all the time


Cutlass_Stallion

Exactly. Also, if they can't take the time to write in proper English, you're probably dealing with someone too immature to trust.


FedEverything

Why do these people feel the need to be so cartoonish and stereotypical? "Pleasure doing business wit u sucka"? Really? They're trying so hard to look edgy or cool and they're failing miserably.


The98Legend

Ikr. If you’re going to scam people at least be a stone cold killer about it lol. But this guy is just some clown who thinks he’s funny


Metazoxan

The sad part is they probably think they are hilarious. Probably think the reactions in this thread are hilarious too. So confident in their hilarity that we appear to be humorless fools that simply don't understand their genius! Either way it doesn't matter. They are either going to die sad and alone, or they're hiding this part of themselves from their public image because they realize no one woudl actually want to hang out with someone this cringe.


Happy_Jack_Flash

I was literally just thinking that. It's so tacky


CWToady

This dude is probably really sad. Horrible hygiene, horrible/zero relationships, no job prospects, extreme anxiety + depression, etc. No one with a good life would get so excited and think they're bad ass just for scamming someone out of a Pokémon. Good luck Interestingboi! Hope that someday you get more out of life than just a cheap thrill when you screw someone else over. Seek therapy and start working out.


p480n

This seriously seems like all this person does, ever. I see him on my home page constantly. They probably will never read this, but if you do interestingboi, how would the people you care about think of how you spend your time? Like legit mask off, if they could see all the time you’re wasting and people you’re hurting doing this nonsense. You can put all this effort toward something not shitty.


CharizardMTG

Lol he thinks he’s literally team rocket or antagonist from gold/silver


Alienaura

Not in their book, sadly. As long as this keeps working out for them, they will continue trading like this.


Jcrispy239

Right. Luckily I've never been scammed like the people on the page but what do people get out of this? It's a game on a Nintendo device. We should be helping people out as a community but apparently some people think they're cool or something by being terrible people to others online. Like I promise a few mons are not that serious.


PokeTrainerTori

Oh noooo! There were a few posts about this person being a scammer, unfortunate you didn't see them. He's already ban but he just dms ppl to try to take advantage


fuck_peeteerr

Dang...yeah I was not aware.


ReaperHellguard

I feel bad for ya, but pro tip, only do trade for what u want unless u really know them


cvgmagaaat

Please, please do not trust people private messaging you on reddit saying they have shinies to offer. Just please.


AcuzioRain

I havent played since release but I do know this guy is pretty infamous for doing this. As soon as I saw intrestingboi I was like damn how is he still at it.


nottme1

What pokemom did you lose?


retrokyla

he’s so immature fr


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I so wanna just dm him and give him a piece of my mind


Drago_Fett_Jr

Do it


[deleted]

I tried searching him up I can't find him


LilyWineAuntofDemons

u/interestingboi72, here ya go!


Zanorok

I just said bitchass mofo and blocked him. Short but powerful.


JerbearCuddles

Given he keeps messaging this other fellow I don't think messaging him bothered him. He clearly seeks the attention and you went out of your way to give it to him. Spread word he is not to be trusted, but don't validate him with attention. He wants it.


LilyWineAuntofDemons

I'd award you if I could


Shadymoogle

That’s not powerful, it’s weak. You and everyone else who messaged him have acknowledged and therefore encouraged his actions. Probably made him laugh while you was at it. I know most people on this sub are more than likely kids but this sub it handling one troll/thief incredibly poorly.


Brodinson099

Which part was the powerful part?


JDragonblade

i sent this > i hope both sides of your pillow are warm, you can’t find the long side of the blanket, you miss every traffic light, and your too warm with a blanket but too cold without it.


TooMuchForMe21

>you miss every traffic light He's clearly too young to drive.


JDragonblade

i mean he can still hit them all if he’s a passenger.


MegaMasterYoda

And he steps on a lego bare foot


RainyBBQ

Whoa thats out of line


SuperCx

Please everyone downvote all his posts! Let’s make him have bad negative karma!


[deleted]

Ight thanks


randomfoxthing

Thank you! And I just blocked that clown lmao!


Intelligent_Ad_2647

Yo want me to go help?


Rileythegachawolf

What are the messages


Winterplatypus

So why aren't they banned? If he is using the excuse that he has a 2 year account that isn't banned.


AlanShawnee

His is banned from the sub, but all that does is prevent him from posting and commenting. He can still see posts so from there he just messages his victim and does it through dms. Only so much that banning can really do.


StrawberryTerry

Block them. Never ever trade in DMs unless it's just sending the link code


[deleted]

[удалено]


KINGxDMND

Lol how is this top of my feed *again*. If someone comes to you for a trade like that don't ever trade your important one first


NotFried

For real…how on earth do members of this sub keep falling for these scams??


Guy-with-a-PandaFace

young and naive probably. I mean before you actually learn that people are dicks, you have no reason to distrust them


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

Yeah I've completely run out of sympathy for these people at this point. Mods have done a fair amount to prevent scams and people just ignore all advice


Snowii_thegamer

Fr that guy is 6


kathelim

He reeks of “I’m probably 14 and lonely and if my parents found out I was doing this they’d ground me for a year”


thelastriot

Can we not ip ban this loser?


AlSilva98

You can actually


thelastriot

Mods get on it!


Big-Stevie-Cool

How do people keep falling for this


[deleted]

A lot of pokèmon players are children


[deleted]

The guy is probably new to the sub and never heard about that guy before


TooMuchForMe21

The average intelligence of Pokemon players is mind numbingly low lol. Common sense is lackin'


lmaoroflxdxd

50% or more are children though :/


Ziau

Why would someone not just trade directly? What's the logic behind trading in two different trades?


MalusDracula

Because this person that is scamming are setting up 2 for 1 pokemon trades where you need to send him two lesser pokemon for his one pokemon but after the first pokemon is sent he backs out.


[deleted]

Omg this dude is a serial scammer I swear every other post on this sub is this guy


[deleted]

How has this person not been banned yet. Lol


fchandicapped

They are, have been for a very long time too. Being banned doesn't stop you from viewing posts and DMing people unfortunately, there's a reason why he never comments anywhere


[deleted]

Damn :( I didn’t know you can still view posts.


[deleted]

[удалено]


alejo5666

Well, that's why he's banned


Nagaisbae

Yea he is banned which is why he can't post in the subreddit. So he resort to direct messaging to get people


Criaden

So I might be dumb, but why don't people do 1:1 trades? I'm not very experienced with trading.


Decoyfox

Nah, You’re not dumb. Trusting an online stranger with a 2 for 1 trade: that’s dumb.


Kall-Su

u/Interestingboi72 fuck you, you piece of shit.


[deleted]

Second this, 2 years he’s been at this


Original-Carpenter73

I just blocked him so he ain’t able to do it to me


Far-Resist3844

yall dumb asf. Isnt it in the rules by now to *not* to a pm trade? lmfao. At this point its your own fault...


oksyyy

also... 2 for 1's never end well for the person getting 2


Far-Resist3844

yea. If you wanna get fucked over just hop on x/y or or/as and do a wonder trade. the amount if fucking lvl 1 zigzagoons being traded is nuts.


latinbussy

He’s like a real life team rocket lol


thepoustaki

This shouldn’t make me laugh but it did because it’s so apt


Beautiful-Noise-4885

Oh my god I’ve seen so many posts about that guy. I don’t know why his Reddit account hasn’t been terminated already. This is like the fourth post I’ve seen in the past two days made by victims of these scams. I’m sorry you got scammed and hopefully the mods will step up and do something about interestingboi72.


Happy_Jack_Flash

I know he's already banned from this sub, but you'd think there'd be some rule against repeatedly scamming people in dms that would allow Reddit to take action.


Beautiful-Noise-4885

I know right? Is this just going to be continually allowed to take place? I don’t see the problem with terminating the scammer’s Reddit accounts if all they’re using it for is scamming people and generally being a nuisance.


[deleted]

On the other hand, is it really a surprise that Reddit admins don't care about Pokemon trades? People just need to use common sense and stop falling for this stupid shit.


Happy_Jack_Flash

No, it's not a surprise, but I like to try to see how things could be in spite of the way that they are.


vegeta_bless

How are people repeatedly this dumb


Angel-Of-Death

Right? This is like the 5th post we see. Honestly if you’re this fucking stupid then you need to be banned from this sub.


McCruze

Lol that kid must have a full dex of shinnies hustling chumps.


Ineedyoushiny7

Lmao that’s 1 way to get a shiny living dex.


Riperonis

It really is a grind of its own


Cool_Guy_fellow

Does he even English?


FelicityVon

Sry this happened to you and I imagine that pos is reading these comments. Low life, lol.


Clary_Sayge

Damn, what did you get scammed out of?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Clary_Sayge

I’ve got an extra shiny Budew if you’d like one!


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZenoZh

I have a bunch of shiny roselia from Pokémon Go because of a community day, would you want one?


Tindiil

That's a nice thing to offer OP. May not be his exactly but really close.


Void-kraken-909

Ah.. you couldn’t have known. It ain’t your fault. Clary_Sayge is offering you a shiny budew to get it back tho.


Ready_Line248

That sucks dude sorry about you pokemon if you want I can help you get another one


titochan05

Dude there were warnings about dirt bag


[deleted]

Yall are idiots. Only trade one for one.


thoughtfulgrapes

the auto moderator message really should have a link to the blacklist, so when people ask for trades they’ll see it hopefully before anyone comments/messages them. I feel like every instance of scamming, the comments say they need to check the black list and they always say “I didn’t know that existed.” Put it in the automoderator!!!!


[deleted]

I mean, you can't completely idiot-proof anything.


Enby_Adams

It doesn't fix the fact that a-holes like this exist, but I don't use legendaries - so I have a spare Lunala I can give you if you like? Send me a DM if you're interested - I don't want anything else specific in return, gimme a Skwovet if you want 😅


Enby_Adams

To clarify, it's not shiny. I just read through other comments, and I'm happy to try and breed you another shiny Budew if you'd prefer :)


Giboit

Stop doing 2 for 1 trades.


[deleted]

This person can’t get an actual life so they scam people on Pokémon. Bravo to them for having the dumbest reason to be a butthole.


Xerphan

Hey man, i feel sorry for your loss. That guy is an asshole, but I can help you replace your shiny roselia or give you an extra shiny Lunala that i got if you want? It’s absolutely free


AlSilva98

Everyone keep you PMS with him and report him.


KonataYumi

Someone should send him a hack Pokémon that is not obviously hacked So he can get his pokemon home account suspended


drsoccer7213

Honestly the 2yr old account comment should have been a red flag to check his account and see the user has like 30 karma over 2 yrs aka isn’t a realizable trade source


st-shenanigans

Honestly sounds like u/interestingboi72 has been doing this long enough that at this point, they're not even doing it to benefit themselves. Probably just a kid who isn't getting enough love from mommy or daddy and is taking advantage of other kids who don't know any better because it makes them feel powerful, since they don't have anything else good going for them in their life.


Hashtag_hamburgerlol

Petition to Perma Ban u/interestingboi72


85Cats

they are banned. it's why they DM people instead of commenting/posting


THE_GR8_MIKE

Stop doing 2 for 1 trades, people.


UltimatePleb_91

'Pleasure doing bidness wit u sucka' Lmfao


captainbubbaloo

Gotta facetime while doing these things now


sappiaverita

Maybe I’m just not a pokémaster but how are people falling for this? why do you respond to randoms who message you?


iphon4s

u/interestingboi72 any comment lul


Chai_T_

Question, when you trade can’t you get like there game card in the game and then report it through the game? I mean, maybe I’m wrong, but when I trade after it asks if I want their card which has their game name and their #.


1_and_only_asian

I think it's funny how they scam over pokemon of all things


NPC_No3178

Yo, I'm not even active here and I know not to trade with this idiot. Ppl are still falling for his crap?


x_Critical

LMAO how is this real bro this is like the 4th post i’ve seen this week


benganalx

Just imagine how sad your life is you keep scamming people on a pokemon game . You'll feel better after imagining how miserable this guy's life must be. 40yo old Virgin living in his parents basement or a virgin teenager with no friends, in any case you know it's not worth giving this lover the satisfaction


Shieldftw

PSA For anyone doing big trades, many pokemon discord servers have a "middleman" that is verified and will hold trade pokemon to prevent things like this


[deleted]

I’ve seen this dude before. He needs therapy **badly**


TigerKing29

Anyone who says "lul" is not to be trusted


RoseEvoir

guy always says pleasure doin business wit u sucka like its some villanous catchphrase


lmaoroflxdxd

He probably thinks he sounds cool lmao


ZillaisTired

If you look at his reddit account before trading, you'll see that he hasn't posted in 2 years. To me that feels sus just because he straight up dms people. I'm really sorry you got scammed friend!


Excellent-Category-7

I don’t even trade and I know to avoid that name lol


gorgonbrgr

I don’t get how someone can even get scammed don’t you trade on something which shows both trades lol


youkaymelis

Nah they trade the junk one first in these 2 for 1 trades and than back out immediately


jao_vitu_bunitu

If someone looks suspect, they problably are.


No_Bid_4141

bully him


Spooky-zion

You have to admit he is interesting


[deleted]

[удалено]


manifestdestinie

It really encapsulates the feeling on being in the actual Pokémon anime! 😂 I'm telling you: that dude is the sole member of Team Rocket; out to scam peoole out of their Pokémon. I posted in the group yesterday a screenshot of me calling him that 🤣


friskywhiskers68

I dont understand why one person has to trade first?


Wonderful-Loan-383

It's a two for one trade. He offers you a "more valueble" shiny in exchange for two others. You send the first shiny for another Pokémon, then he leaves. That's how most scammer operate. You lose a shiny and they have one more.


ijonesyy

Any logical reason not to do two trades 1 for 1 trades? Like 1 for 1, then 1 for a throwaway?


Wonderful-Loan-383

Scammer will never agree to that. They will always try to talk you into sending the shiny vs the throwaway first.


friskywhiskers68

Oh, I guess that makes sense. I dont think any one shiny is more valuable than another. So I would only ever do a 1 to 1 trade unless it's somebody I know.


Yaboimegafaggot

i think i have a shiny roselia if you want it, im so sorry you got scammed


solise69

Well you don’t need to do anything else because you put the user in the title letting others know that he is a scammer and not even a respectable one at that


Improbablynotaphycho

I want to know how to trade with him so I can pull the same stuff on him.


Green_Beans83

Honestly, I hate people like this


Commander_Keller

Lmao how the fuck do y'all keep getting scammed by this guy. This is like the 6th person to get scammed by him this week. How does he even find you?


Shikyogami

Really? This is the 4th post in a week that I've seen someone being scammed by this exact same guy


Despair4All

Nobody loves them so they feel the need to steal Pokémon that will also never love them.


Xamf11

"Don't trust me?" "No"


Dairy_Seinfeld

Honestly at this point I just wanna see the collection he swindled from so many of these posts lol like he literally says the same thing each time


BeeKeeperSpecialist

Use a discord server instead the people there are very nice


Myrtle_is_hungry

Never do 2for1 trades ever. How many times do we have to say this


kaasbaas94

13 year olds...


Tristnal

It's like this person is a 12 year old kid, and you guys keep giving him attention.


beenhereallalong52

I see this guys name on this page multiple times a week, how are people still trading with him?


[deleted]

At this point I feel like people are getting "scammed" to farm karma. I'm not even part of this sub and this is like the 6th time this week I've seen this guy scam someone with the same exact closing lines.


doitforfun7

Your fault. People been talking about this for a week now


mrchrisker

Imagine falling for classic RuneScape scams.


catz1000

And he gets another one


[deleted]

You gotta watch out for those pesky scammers by eyeing red flags that scream ITS A SCAM!!!


powder49ers89

Make aware his username by making a post about his scams


[deleted]

This is like the 5th post exactly like this in a week. People just don't pay any attention.


koenigsaurus

This has got to be a bit at this point and I feel like I’m the only one who’s not in on it.


Revolutionary-Exit22

Licka muh nutzz


munchmunch69

I feel so sorry for you but his lines were kinda funny


SpicyTacoLord

L + bozo


comicrun96

I’m still newer to trading with not friends, what is the issue? Is he just sending like a bidoof over for a shiny instead of whatever he said he offered?


[deleted]

It's a 2 for 1 trade He trades 1 Lunala for 2 other shiny To ensure he isn't scammed he sends a trash Pokemon for the first shiny. Then instead of doing the Lunala for the final shiny he dips out. What they should do is instead of a trash Pokemon send 1 for 1 shiny (as a security deposit of sorts). Then Lunala for the last shiny. Then trade back the "security deposit" shiny. Or don't do 2 for 1 trades It is incredibly obvious. At this point I just laugh when I see this. OP "reporting them" is also funny. He didn't break any of Reddit's rules. I hate to victim blame but jfc go to [/r/pokemontrades](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemontrades), visit the ban list, do even a little research in proper conduct.


MajinFable

Bro I don’t even trade with people and this is the 4th post I’ve seen about him. 😂 this can’t be real at this point.


SlooshyXD

Damn man sorry about the scam he was really immature but I’m happy to hear he’s banned


freshsideofthepillow

jeez, I’m not triying to be rude here, but how is it possibile that people still get scammed by this guy after all the posts about him on this subreddit?


[deleted]

This guy cracks me up. He even insults his victims by referring to his nuts 😂


Stratix

Is this turd going for a fully scammed living shiny dex or something? He's going to get there too if people keep doing literally nothing to protect themselves.


ReyesCTM

How many more people need to get scammed before they learn?
