I'll tell everyone one thing, that is, don't scam, and don't be scammed (if only it was as simple as everyone following those two rules). I'm no Saint, I once scammed an innocent person on habbo using a keylogger and have never forgiven myself.
If you have a soul you won't forgive yourself, there's scamming and then there's destroying part of someone's life, my crime felt into the latter category.
After reading so much about hacking, scripting and scamming on habbo, and being scammed once myself I looked into purchasing a remote keylogger, which I did.
I then scoured the Welcome Lounge on habbo.co.uk and found an innocent guy, I promised him free credits and furni without needing his pass. He gave me his msn account (we said msm to get around the filter) and I named the keylogger *Removed* and concealed it within a *Removed*I sent it to him, he ran it and within a few days I had stolen his furni and destroyed his life. I felt so disgusted with myself, I had the problem most people have, they can never see themselves as being as bad as the 'other scammers', they always have an excuse. Let me tell you, there is no excuse for scamming. There was no excuse when I did it, there was no excuse when it was done to me. It's filled with malice of greed.
I have laid awake nights crying, I eventually returned it all to him, by a generous donation I secretly left in his room, after plundering his entire account and landing him with a 48 hour ban.
I sit and wonder, what would have happened if I had have took his furni and he had been banned permanently for my crimes. I could never have made good on what I did.
There's a small portion of those who are considering scamming who will read this and laugh, perhaps remark that I'm a coward and weakling, but hopefully most of you will realise it's just a way to cause more problems.
I've since had to build myself up to having a decent few rooms filled with furni, but at least I did what I could to make up for my crime. He'll never be able to be a Habbo X, I black- marked his record.
This was 9 months ago now, I just hope the guy's okay now.
Every time I read the word keylogger or hack I feel like scum.
Really sit and think what you're doing to other people's lives when you rob them on habbo, for all I know he could have spent all of his pocket money on credits. He could have so desperately wanted to be a Habbo X, and when I robbed his account I had gone around insulting people and being rude in his name, he'll never get to do it, at least not under that account.
When I think of all of the repercussions of what I did I feel helpless, I'm still too afraid to turn myself in to a Moderator. What repulses me more than what I did was how nice and pleasant he was, I'm actually afriad at how easily I let myself lie to someone and rob them.
People have this misconception that theft on the internet somehow differs from mugging someone in the street, it doesn't, it's worse in fact, it's the coward's way of robbing people.
