Echoing the "don't take candy from strangers" comment. Seriously.
Yes, for the most part Fanime is filled with very nice, generous and largely harmless people. However, you can never be too safe.
I also have never heard of any incidents where this was a problem, but I know I've had scary situations myself. A few friends and I were approached by a creepy guy in 2008 who kept offering us Rockstar energy drinks, and even though they appeared unopened, he was very pushy and it made everyone really uncomfortable. We got a rover who eventually escorted him out of the con because he didn't even have a badge. o Ao;;
I'm pretty sure these things do not happen often at Fanime, but they can so it's just best to be safe and use your best judgement.
All that aside, I hope everyone who will be going to Fanime for the first time this year really enjoys themselves! I've been going to Fanime for 7 years now and have always had a lot of fun. It's one of the few things I look forward to each year. c:
