If an idiot falls for that they deserve it. That's what I think anyway.

SO if I ask for £100 in the street, which someone has, they will give it to me?

If I ask for credit card details when they got out their card to use it, they will give it to me?

Like Carlos said, 'Common Knowledge,' if you are dumb enough for this you are too dumb to live.

That's not the same, This is internet, You can make yourself look formal and professional using proper grammer and having an email that looks like sulakes and you could believe it.

In some cases it is the same.

Now, think, would Habbo really email you about being a hobba/mod when you haven't applied or seen any official news about it?

WHy does it look like sulakes?

The UK Hotel uses @sulake.uk or something random

Do you really think a newb is going to worry about applying or something, He'll be thinking "omg a hobba my dream" and just send in the details, he probaly doesnt even know you have to apply.

I agree with Aight.

Gomme, you're going far too over the top. Saying that "dumb enough for this you are too dumb to live" is a pathetic thing to say. If people didn't fall for things like this, there wouldn't be a thriving itentity theft culture these days. If things look professional, people are inclined to believe them. It's just human nature.

And as for only trusting emails if they're @sulake.com, there are ways of making your email address come up like this. I've had them sent to m in the past.
