There seems to be a “feature” in Farm Town where if you double click on another person’s toes, it automatically hires them to work on your farm.. It sounds like some scammers have been using this to their advantage by getting people to double click their tootsies to earn some coins or to see something fun. Don’t be fooled!
Some people on the Slashkey forum are asking for a “Fire” button to be created, so you can stop someone you’ve inadvertently hired like this from stripping your trees of their fruit, or whatever. Also, bear in mind that you can still harvest somebody’s farm while not connected to the server, which means the other person won’t be able to see you doing it! People are likely to do this when they’re about to be kicked off the server. Naughty!

It’s not really a “feature”, but actually people taking advantage of the placement of the “Hire to Harvest” option in the menu that opens up when you click on a farmer’s avatar. If you click on the “toes” of an avatar, your mouse pointer is directly over the hire to harvest option when the menu opens up.
Thank you for posting about this, I would like to read more about this topic.
