View Full Version : The Scammers Story : A true documentary into the view of a scammer

Before I begin I must express that I am not the scammer. This is a entirely fake documentary based on the mind of a scammer who I know in real life. I am giving the boy a false name due to privacy purposes. And so after about 3 months of research I present this article.

I first met Tom in primary school. He was in the year below me and had a reputation for having a rather big mouth. Infact I had never really liked Tom, i found that he got on my nerves and i tended to keep away from him.

I hadn't seen Tom in about 3 years until a recent confirmation meeting. As usual we had all stoopered into boredom after listening to the preist rant on and coincedentally i was thinking about habbo at the time. Tom had whispered the word the word 'habbo' across the room to a girl and obviously my ears were *****ed. I asked him if he went on habbo and he replied that he had been going on for about a month.

I asked him what type of furni he had and whether he bought credits, he replied with a list of rares and normal furniture. Tom had been renowned for lying and at that minute i wasn't really believing him.

A few weeks later i asked him if he worked and he replied as if he was rather pleased to state the fact 'im a scammer'. I nodded my head and started thinking. Below is from what i can remember of a conversation i has with Tom:

Tom: I'm a scammer :D
Me: What like a scripter?
Tom: NO, i nick their furni
Me: Oh, what type of scammer are you?
Tom: Casino betting, password stealing, the usual

At this point Tom then asked me if i wanted to put my furni down in his room as a 'safe keep'. Not bloomin likely i thought. He said that i could trust him as i knew him in real life but i just made up a stupid excuse of 'i like to go trading at weird hours of the day, so it would be a bit unconveneint.'

After about 5 more meetings with tom, i actually found out how hundreds of scammers work. They are breeding habbos from static ip's and password stealing. Groups of scammers are meeting to discuss new ideas, websites are being set up, and worse of all he mentioned famous names who had been known to scam. I hadn't believed him when he mentioned one of the most important members of a non-habbox related website.

Next week Tom brought in screenies, evidence of secret meetings involving high class names, websites, macros, secret scripters meetings. Tom proved that he had found his way into maybe one of the biggest cells in habbo - scammer relations. He explained how scammers work:

It starts off with the general habbo wanting to know how to flood. He finds another habbo who sells it off, that habbo then gets the buyer in contact with a habbo known as a recruiter:

The recruiter will set this habbo a task. Within about a day to a week this habbo must demonstrate he can scam a habbo and keep himself undercover. This will normally be a free credits come to my room type of scam where there will be the recruiter watching on to check this habbo can get the furni.

If they pass this they go onto becoming maybe a lucrative habbo baby until one day they are asked to perform another task.
At this point i thought how these scammers were acting like MI6.
This is how far i have gotten, using clones and another habbo i have potrayed myself as the perfect scammer.

You relise, most scamming groups are usealy just on or 2 people, with a tones of clones. I get the imrpession your being toyed with. by someone whos probly lauging there head of the whole time. I know a few scammers, and they do stuff like that nearly as much as nicking furni. the one i know basicly does it to show how stupid most habbo are. by useing rediculys ovios scams. and then laundering all teh furni amoung a load of clones, so bans dont loose em anything.

Yes but Mentor if habbohotel IP ban him then the clones would be gone.

he is on BB so has a cycled ip. So if they ip ban him it last for about 1/2 and hour. Apprntly when they ip ban they dont ban teh account as well, cuz he says wehn his ip chnaged he could stuill get oin an old account and get stuff he left.

I got 'IP Banned' once for admitting I could hack once.

The fact I am not a stupid idiot who would waste their time on hacking made me angry, but as my IP changes I realised a day later I could get on Habbo. So they only IP ban not Ban the Account.


Mentor is right, clones are what makes Scammers good, I know a scammer who I can't be bother'd to correct who has about 3 clones and his master account and he uses them in ganging up on people. I cannot be bother'd to correct him as it is the scammed that is to blame, and the lack of fun on Habbo.

No offence, but your story kind of sounds... Let's say... fake?
Thats not the way scammers work, what happens if they don't get the job then? That person will tell hobbas about the scammers.
Scammers are individual selfish people, they're not groups...

Sometimes small groups but not organised. Well a few our, but only the dangeros ones, but they never get found out, as they go for more complex skeams rather than stupid "gimme u pass " ones.

Athogh i agree about it sounding pretty fake. I know a few and they dont work anything like this portarys. exwspet if there just lading u on (one person many clones )

PART 2 Note: ok, its all made up but i do know Tom who claimed he was a scammer but i thought i might aswell go on. Also the bit about famous habbos being known to scam WAS true.

A couple of weeks later i met Tom on habbo. His rooms are lavishly decorated but the walls and floors are bare. Tom doesn't buy credits or 'coins' as he calls them. He earns all his furni through scamming, i counted it up normal furni amount to 562 credits worth. Rares amounts to 12 hcs.

Tom announced to me I was going to be allowed into one of his meetings. It was the meeting i spoke aobut in part one, meetings specifically designed for scammers to discuss notes and new types of scams. In the meeting they spoke how ctrl + m scam was impossible due to it being bobba'd. They talked about new websites,key loggers and new types of scripting clans being produced.

They spoke about IoU, one claimed to be a member. They took notes on stickies when i asked Tom afterwards about the notes he told me: ''you can subscribe to a scammers newsletter, they send one out each month''. They also talked about help centres, new ones and ones being closed and re-opened. What i found extremely interesting was that they spoke about scripting a help centre, i did not believe them at the time. 2 days later, the help centre in question was scripted.

Tom found the world of scamming highly interesting. Get rich quick. Don't get banned. That was it. He said how ''the 'hi' you get after scamming someone, and not getting caught, its just a andrenaline rush.''

Thats it from 2hd.'s mind for part 2!
Tell me what you want to see in part 3!
And remember, 75% is fake!!!!

What's the point in that?

You just edited it today to say that it was a fake documentary, but before you said it was real. I think you're yanking our chains, you say its a documentary? Documentarys are real, not made up stories, scammers aren't a big co-operation, its either small groups 3-4people or seperate people, people on habbo don't trust each other that much, you might not like scammers, but they are very smart, and scamming is what they do, they wouldn't put any random person up for a test! Plus, maybe you should tell a hobba about this guy(if he is real) as you are technically stealing aswell, as you aren't doing anything about it!

This is a really good article! It's true there are scammer and hacker meatings. But it is almost impossible for habbo to deal with it. Because trying to catch the scamming/hacking/scripting community is liek trying to catch air with a net!
