'I got 5000c'

[Michael]

Today i've witnessed about 3-4 people inviting 'ive got 5000c for free!', when I asked them how they all replied 'This kids mom works for Habbo and hes handing out coins!'. The people who all said this, we're not related and did not each other so it seems to me that a mass load of people have been hacked!

I don't know how yet, more info to come

[@]@Michaeel[/@] This doesn't mean to say anybodies been hacked, the people you seen saying this were most probably chatting absolute **** especially if they're using the "I know somebody who works for Habbo" speech they're evidently morons and wouldn't have the first clue about 'hacking'

[Michael]

These people had a hacker on their account who said it, just found out. It seems a lot of people are using the 'my mom works for Habbo' trick to get password off people.

Another sad attempt at gaining others details. Shame people fall for these tricks. :(

Why would people even give them their password? :S

Because young teens can be easily tricked! :P

But surely a young teen would know NOT to give someone their password? Dont they have a password for a reason lol? :P

I guess some are just gullible, especially if they are new to online games and don't know anything about online scams. :P

Yeah, but what I'm trying to say is, if you have a password, you usually have one for a reason LOL Not to go give it to someone, or what's the point in having a password :P

I remember the old trick of people saying "add me and follow me for 10000000c, I've already got one person" it turns out that the one person is either a clone or part of the scam and they ask for your password.

This sorta scam seems easy to recognise though because it's always the same but other scams can be more difficult.
