looks convincing, apart from the misspelling of 'rightful' and 'support team'

Agreed with Special. I'm sure that a few younger players would probably fallen for this. Thanks for posting it Scott :)

I didnt even bother reading it, I knew it was fake because I no longer have anything linked to this email lol. x

They failed though because Habbo can actually spell but yeah, thanks for it.

It looks like it was typed by a three year old with the overusage of commas and sentence structure, but it looks a bit convincing if the person reading the email was a bit younger I suppose.

Nice job Scott <3

You shouldn't really be getting those emails haha. To get them you must be signing up to retros and dodgy fansites.

The warez site doesn't make any difference, I was just joking since he blocked it out :P

I wouldn't even bother reading this email due to the fact it says 'Habbohotel to me' Habbo isn't called Habbohotel anymore.

Thanks Scott :') it looks 100% real though - I don't get how they could have a spelling mistake in a scam email... the must of checked it like 20 times too. What was the email of the sender just out of curiousity?

Using sites like: www.deadfake.com - Emails like this are surprisingly easy to pull off.

The link looked pretty real, but, habbo would never send an email like that to you. :/
