Hit a Scammer with a hammer!

[Areva]

Me tackling on scammer's and getting them banned, feel bad now as the girl really sad. But the lesson here is to never scam! It is wrong.

Here is the logs:

*REMOVED*

I do feel bad and to be honest I never use my report tool. Only in exceptions of scammer's. People who I see scamming will either end up banned or I just announce it to the whole game.

Scammers are pathetic. But it's a fact of habbo life I suppose.

Thanks Tyler, we do have a room in Trade World, through the little red teleporter where users put the names of scammer and the reason, then we go and investigate it and either if possible set the user up who attempts to scam us. If not possible Ie. Casino scams we just announce it on a list.

Incorrect. It is a fact of life.

Sadly no matter what you do, scamming will not be stopped.

Unfortuneately this is correct,
there are scammers in real life as well as Habbo, and the good thing about getting scammed on Habbo is, the loss won't be as great compared to real life 'scams.' By being scammed on Habbo, we learn not to trust people as much, and that if something is too good to be true, it probably is, which is a lesson we can carry into real life.

[Areva]

Your right, you cannot stop scammer's. But I can bring in awareness to stop scams, prevent them and make some of the scammer's life a little bit worse. It's like the Moderators of Habbo going they have been scammed, northing we can do about it...

[Eoin247]

Areva could you repost the log? I didn't get to see it before it was removed, perhaps if you just blot out the name so then it wont get removed and we can all see what happened. :)

Feel bad, but suppose she was "duplicating furni" scamming. So therefore she needs to be taken down. A scam a scam, I guess....

[Eoin247]

Yeah i usualy report all those duplicate furni rooms. Although i sometimes get warnings from mods for doing so as aparently doing it too often is "abusing the report system and wasting mods time". So as a result i don't report every time, I want to help but i don't want to risk a ban.

You get banned for 4 hours for making rooms as those. They are classed as hate rooms and abuse, not advised best to do is just tell your friends and make sure people know they scam like you did here... rare cases they get banned for scamming a bet, but well done.

[OMGItsCodie]
