Furni scams are used by scammers to.. obviously attempt to steal your precious furni. The scams to look out for include:
1. "I can clone/duplicate furni!"
Sounds great eh! You could have 100 thrones within minutes.. NOT! No-one can 'clone/duplicate' furni, they will just steal it from you. They'll often ask you to put it in the Trade Box & click agree 5 times. While you're doing that, they click agree once, and your furni becomes theirs. So be aware!
2. "I'll buy credits for your rares!"
Now, this one isn't always a scam. But on most occasions, it is. The scammer will claim they'll buy you creds for your rares. You hand over your rare to them, they run off. Period.
Never trade rares for credits! It's unsafe. If you MUST do so, do so at your own risk.
One other point to make here - Please don't ask Hobbas to observe cred/rare trades, as we cannot tell who is telling the truth. Either one of those involved in the trade could yell out 'he scammed me!!' and then, innocent habbos get banned.
My advice is just to not bother trading for credits.
3. "If you give me one piece of furni, I'll give you a job that pays"
Sounds kool eh! You could earn quite a lot of furni from this right? Wrong. They'll most likely take your furni and kick you from the room. Besides, have you ever payed to work somewhere in real life? No, then don't do it on Habbo!
4. Casinos
Again, only play at casinos at your OWN risk! A lot of casino dealers are out to scam you, so please be aware. My advice is just not to bother betting at casinos. Period.
