Don't get caught out by staff trophies

Want to get your hands on a trophy from the famous Lost_Witness, or the tea lady herself miss HelKat, or how about from the player support team, or the community team? These trophies are highly sought after but at a very high risk to you. The trading of trophies might seem like an easy way to get a staff signed trophy but please remember something very important.

When that trophy gets shown to you on the floor of the traders room, you can see who it is from, you can see the inscription and you want it, badly, so you will trade whatever you can for it. I mean, why wouldn’t you? You are so keen to show that you have something a staff member wrote, but remember, once it is in the trade box, can you see the writing anymore?!? No is the answer, so what’s to say that the trophy you are being traded is actually the same one you saw in the room?

This is a very popular scam at the moment. http://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_images/album104/trophy_2.gif

Be super careful when trading, make sure you are completely and utterly ecstatic with what is in that box and that you can trust the person you are trading with before you click agree, because once you tick it and accept, that’s it, deal done, no taking it back. We cannot do anything about this kind of scam, only to warn you that it is unsafe.

Please be careful when trading, we don’t want you losing that furni that you worked so hard for!

Or....

› ask to see the trophy in a room.
› offer your furni and get them to agree (you do not agree yourself).
› then ask them to reload the room.
› finally, ask them to drop the trophy again.

Reloading the room while the trade was accepted, will muddle up their hand. Therefore, they have no clue as to which trophy they are dropping for you to check :).

However, they could obviosuly get lucky and drop the correct one, so always be very careful ;).

I don't understand. The idea is that the scammer doesn't know which is which.
