Hi everyone. Thanks to u/AAmpiir for helping me with these screenshots.

Scams involving the Crowned Dogs Zacian and Zamazenta are going wild right now. Scammers are listed to the Confirmed Scammer List daily. https://www.reddit.com/r/spoofertrades/wiki/confirmedscammers

Since many people are not aware of this, you CAN actually check in the trade screen, if Zacian or Zamazenta have been crowned before.

a quick PSA beforehand; these dogs are different than fusions like Necrozma. You cant trade a crowned dog, but you can uncrown it, trade it to someone and then the receiver can change it to crowned form for free.

HOW TO CHECK IN THE TRADE SCREEN:

Once a player puts Zacian or Zamazenta into the trade screen, you need to click on the pokemon BEFORE you hit "Confirm".

IF A DOG HAS NEVER BEEN CROWNED, IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:

A DOG THAT HAS BEEN CROWNED BEFORE WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:

As you can see, this dog displays a "MAX Level", which confirms that it was crowned previously. Once you receive it, you can then change it back to the crowned form for free.

I hope this will help a lot of you guys to prevent yourselve from getting scammed in the future. If you run into suspicious behavior or were getting scammed, send us proof via modmail.
