Shouldn't a rare value reporter know to find out if a dealer is safe, or if he looks safe? o_o

probably should, but as he is just a normal user, he wouldn't know.

Thats utter crap.

rare Value Reporters aint bloody safety officers? They look for RARES, not train to recognise a scammer.

wait...you gave a bronze nelly for a rare grabber? :S
scamming is only when they take furniture off you and you expect something in return..so whatever you paid for the rare grabber is what you were scammed?

he won the nelly so he told the owner to pay it and he'd give him some hcs back for 3 goes (i think). he cancelled the trade and didnt get the nelly.

No. Thats rubbish - again. I pay out two hundred throne bets - whos to say I decide not to pay the 201st one out?

It can happen.

No he didnt, and a bronze nelly is not worth much. He won the bronze nelly, but the owner was supposed to giev him it and he cancelled.

it can happen, but its better to bet with someone who is well known to pay out, thats common sense :)

Games are not made for scamming
There are a lot of people who don't scam in their games but some people do

And no, there's no throne in his name :P

Runescape did it.
But thats runescape, this is habbo so they don't care and want little children to get there parents to pay for more "CREDITS" for more items..
habbo have planned it right, Name me ten who have been banned for not paying bets in the game.

What a stupid thing to say :S Asif being a rare values reporter would give you a better chance of knowing if someone was a scammer :S

I think the rule should allow it if it's 100% hard evidence. Anyway could you send me the vid also please?

There is as much chance of the richest most well-known habbo scamming as there is some kid with a few Thrones. In fact, the richest most well-known people can get away with it much easier simply because their status means everyone will believe them, and won't believe they would scam. That's common sense.

I know I can't name names, but back before Habbo Exchange, scammed involving Ukash by someone who was very rich (they'd just won a certain competition and got one of the only 5 or 6 of a certain super on the hotel) and they also happened to be a Mod on here (now an Admin!!!!) So there is no way to know a person's thoughts based on their virtual alter-ego. LIRL at suggesting Rare Value Reports have psychic abilities or something to automatically know :P.

TBH they suck at that. In my entire habbo experience I got hacked/scammed. I report it to the MOD's asap. They mostly take AGES to respond and when they do they say its my own fault and theres nothing they can do... so I email habbo and they tell me to ask for help live immediatley (which I do obv) how can they possibly try and decrease the number of scams/hacks when they dont do anything about it? Its like... okay its my fault I got hacked? WTH. Aint it meant to be virtual friendly? Helpful? Yh right! :$

Yes please send me a link, and i agree also, how is he supposed to know if he's safe or not, nobody does unless they're sycic or somthing of the sort

We're not aloud to name names so we can't say safe dealers :)

You can name safe dealers, just not scammers (stupid I know..) :)
