Alandan is the most popular server in the whole of animal jam. It is the most popular for trading but is home to a lot of scammers.
If someone says they'll gift you a top-hat if you gift them something first, don't. The is a trading system for a reason. Gifting is for exactly that. Sending gift. Not trading.
Don't give anyone your password in return for rares, I know you've probably heard this more times than you can count but you'd be surprised how many people actually fall for this daily. It's so basic you forget about it sometimes.
