This very, very rare item was recently stolen from someone. How? A scamming lair partner.
Please, please, PLEASE think about who you plan to let onto your account. As Aywas gets bigger, scammers start showing up, which is unfortunately what one user experienced tonight. A nice, friendly user was really a scammer - and stole all the rare items off their "new partner"'s account.
Your BIGGEST defense against scammers is to look at the activity of the person you're considering let onto your account. How long have they been involved in the community? Do they make contributions - pet colors, suggestions, wearables, etc? When did they register? Do they have things of value (customs, custom HA items, etc) that they wouldn't want to lose by scamming?
Let's face it - if you have nice things, someone will want to take them from you. Don't let it happen. Make sure that the person you're planning on trusting doesn't seem like someone who is obviously not up to par with you, riches wise. If you have a lot of nice things, they should too. Otherwise, who's to say they won't steal yours?
Lair partners can make Aywas a better, more personal game for both players. But you need to make sure you look at how trustworthy, based on activity, that person is. That way you have a better net to filter out the scammers.

Ugh, that sucks! Can't believe people can sink so low. Hope you find the item & who's responsible! Let's hope this doesn't happen again. :(

It's more than just pixels in come cases. Some buy GP to use on the site and lose what they invested. (yes it's an investment, even if it's just a virtual one)
Hopefully Justice was served cold with a side of soggy fries for the one who did this.

This is why I will never have a lair partner. Even your bff can be a bitch sometimes. I've experienced that first hand.

That's really low. They got banned permanently, right? I'll never have a lair partner because I could never trust someone not to do that. >.> *sigh*

Kitsune : Coz I was with Aywas since Oct 2009. Till now first time I've seen anyone scammed by lair partner. Aywas has been "peaceful" for so long. It's one of the rarer sites I feel safe in knowing the community is pretty good. :)

That's saddening. :<
I'd only partner with someone I knew in real life.
Like my sister

I can't say I'm terribly shocked this has happened, but I do give my best wishes to this person. :c
It's a shame that their trust was broken so harsly, all over some pixels...
