I've never had scam emails until I added a bunch of people from habbo on one of my old instant messenger accounts. Now that I don't add them I have not got any scam emails.

Yeah it will be someone on your friends list.

Funnily enough, when you try and retrieve an account one of the questions it asks is 'please name three friends on your account' and another one is 'How many rooms do you have'. Never understood either, since anyone can find that out easily, assuming you are not banned.

Not a new scam, updates questions though xD

I agree, on the habbo help tool they send you a email asking how many pieces of furni you have, stuff you wouldn't know if your banned, it's just stupid.

Easy way to see if it's valid, check the email it should have either @sulake or @habbo ;)

There's Lloyds TSB one going around as well, shame I'm not even with Lloyds TSB haha.

'@hotmail.com' gives it away the most, isn't it like @sulake.com or something idk :P They are just completely getting worse each time they try all you do is laugh at them, saddos. :P

Haha. Lots of things wrong there. Habbo wouldn't bolt/underline the whole email, 'We need some Help!' LOL who would say that. Plus they capitalised stuff they shouldn't of. Its quite pathetic tbh you should wait 3 days and when it comes to the fourth email them saying 'My account hasnt been lost..'

I received that one too. By looking at the source of the email, the headers are obviously different.

Defiantly a scam, its only probably because you have supers etc, and what I would like to know was how they got your email... maybe it is the real HABBO? Seeing as they got your email?

Should of blocked out your email for Safety reasons.

Also anyone that send an email like that, with text so big as that, with it underlined is nothing from Habbo LMAO if anyone falls for that they deserved to be hacked.

Unfortunately though, people do fall for these types of scams.
