Discussion Please be careful while swapping codes
This is my experience. I previously posted asking for swapping codes and a user responded saying they're up for it. I typed their code and even shared a screenshot of it, but they didn't respond about it, even after asking them twice, I mean some long term users like me would love some exclusive trees in a collection, but with the restriction of one invite entry it's really depressing to see this situation, where we are being scammed.. My invite is literally zero and later i installed an app on my brother's tablet and entered my code (he was fine with it) .
I didn't even share my code in the body of the previous post mainly bcoz some people would type it in a rush and might affect the swapping overall, but guess what, scammers don't mind even if you have good intentions , i guess.
So guys better ask for proof of screenshot to that see they have entered your code while swapping, if you are okay with it. This pineapple tree house challenge literally sucks.

Yeah I feel like I lucked out getting a legit swap, it’s so easy to get scammed. Honestly pretty disappointed with the set up of this challenge, it feels icky like a pyramid scheme in a way. The developers seem to be receptive to feedback sometimes so maybe there will be improvements.

I took the trick someone passed here about creating a secondary account to avoid this.

I don't understand the problem here, I mean if they don't use your code whats the problem?

Everyone can only enter in one code, and your work goes to someone else rewards, so it is hard to get rewards yourself unless you have something to trade or create an extra account.
Edit: There are basically guaranteed to be people who will lose, since the only way to have everyone win is to have one person enter in each code and do 3,000 minutes, but more person can use the same code, so someone could have five people working on theirs which means four accounts would not be able to have their codes entered in by anyone. They might not be the same four people but out of all the Forest accounts four would miss out, and that is not even diving into the 3,000 minute requirement.

Just to add for anyone reading this, you can ask for the screenshot showing the code they actually used. Should be something like this.
