There are a LOT of scammers on Cubic Castles. There are so many players out there getting scammed all the time, and the scammers get away with it time and time again. The mods are so busy with so many scam reports that there are many people who can't find a mod and just give up on trying to report. Whenever the mods are almost done with all the reports, 10-20 more scam reports pop up. If we had more mods, not only would there be a higher chance of players being able to find a mod, but more mods would be able to help at once so we could get rid of all the scammers.

You can always report a scam in the official cc discord server, or using the in-game function. The actual active mods have enough time for all the reports, it seems.
Scammers, contrary to popular belief, do often times get punished. You just don't get to see it.
You just need to learn to play smart.
Gdog has posted many videos about scams and how to avoid them, so have many other youtubers, and there are topics all over the forums. You're bound to see at least one of them. Give them a watch or a read, and then spread it to other players. It won't stop scams completely, but it will reduce some.
Tell them the most common ways of getting scammed (permission scams, rental scams, vend scams) and how to determine and avoid them.
Make sure to answer every question they have.
You are the ones out there, the ones going to all the games, giveaways, sales and events. You are like the neighborhood watch, the eyes and ears in the game for the admins and mods (we can't be everywhere at once). You, the players, can make a bigger difference to the community than a few more mods and you don't need a special tag, title or command to help. So many people say they want to be a mod but we have very few people that show the admins that they could really help do more than just answer some basic questions and be rich and/or popular.
What can you do?
-Learn and then teach people how to avoid being scammed. Take them to the Play Safe room in the learning center or direct them to gdog's videos as others have suggested.
-Only buy from registers or vends and read the screen to make sure you are getting the right thing.
-If you go to a holla for a giveaway and there is a vending machine. Don't buy without reading carefully. There is a slight chance you might miss a deal but by reading, you won't get scammed.
-Don't use your CC account and password on websites or apps offering free items, hacks, cubits or upgrades.
-If you are scammed or witness a scam, get proof and report it. Take screenshots, with /time and /owner on them. Make sure your screenshots "show" what was happening. A room full of people tells us nothing but a vend with pink pants or a pine top for 35k tells us a lot. Post the screenshots on the forums in the scam reports discussion or post them on the Discord channel in the #scam_reports channel with details as to what happened.
-If you can't take screenshots, ask someone in the room if they can help you by taking the screenshots for you and then post them on your behalf.
-Some scams have no proof because they happened too fast or it's hard to show in a screenshot. In those cases, open a support ticket through the forums and give what details you have so one of the admins can look into it.
Let me clarify, I'm not suggesting anyone become a mini mod. I'm also not talking about standing in the lobby shouting scammer to warn everyone (that does nothing to help the game or make new players feel welcome). Not publicly accusing people of scamming or calling them out in hollas. Not taking matters into your own hands and trying to handle the scammer or making threats to anyone. I'm talking about learning, teaching and reporting. Quietly taking screenshots and reporting. Quietly seeing people talking about being scammed and explaining how to report as explained above. Quietly teaching new players on how to avoid being scammed. It's going to take the good community to make things better, not just more mods.
Also, remember, you are responsible for your items and cubits. Take care of your stuff and your account because there is no guarantee they will be returned by the admins if you get scammed.

Have a good day.
In there when i.give the stuff to the new people or victims i explained them some stuff but i stoped (for now) because:
1-I dint see a change
2-People trying to trick me
3-People not caring about it
4- i have never saw a person help me to the cause and they just use my cause as an excuse to get free stuff
5- I felt like thw only one doing this for fun and warning them
I will do the event but i would not to do it alone also, i will only do the event IF i say it here on the CC fourms to prove people that im not triking them because they tink its just to get free stuff if anywone would like to help me i would be glady (im not mini modding) like i said for me EVERYTING goes as charaty and i tink i have done videos but...idk...i need a way to improve the sistem and i cant do it alone, BUT I will talk more about this in the future (especially that cc is broken for me xD)
