Interesting Email New Launch

[Andii]

Ok so i recieved an email from Lynn-Maria Reppe (from habbo)

and bascially it was saying

Dear Habbo,

Unfortunately you didn't make the cut for the Habbo Council back in April, but we have some exciting news for you!

As you know, the Habbo Guide program has been running for a few months and we are inviting applicants.....

(Not allowed to say anymore)

But people were saying its probably a scam altho at the end it says


We are aware of reports from Habbos that emails are bouncing back. To avoid any problems with emails bouncing it is encouraged that you reply to this email instead of sending a new one to the Sulake address. To reassure you this is a legitimate email we have included your original application to us.

Hi i received a minimail on habbo on one of my accounts about being interested and I am very interested In applying. But the Habbo account i now Mainly use is Andii. Is there a chance that i can apply using it?? I have some great ideas which i would love Habbo to hear as i have been a member for almost 9 years using a few different accounts.





this includes my email which i sent months ago

Anyone else get this??????

[TonyBest]

Nope, I didnt get one

[SackRace]

Didn't get one!!

[Red]

No but her name is Linn Not Lynn so sounds fishy.

[Mr.L.Darragh]

No but her name is Linn Not Lynn so sounds fishy. Yeah that's true, I don't think Sulake staff add their name into emails directly though, apart from Jason? Not sure about that though.

+ That end bit about emails bouncing back is so stupid too, sending and replying are the same thing.. There shouldn't be any bouncing..

[Michael]

Sounds like a scam, lol.

[Andii]

Yeah that's true, I don't think Sulake staff add their name into emails directly though, apart from Jason? Not sure about that though.

+ That end bit about emails bouncing back is so stupid too, sending and replying are the same thing.. There shouldn't be any bouncing..


Thats what i thought her name came up as it and not the email address. I asked habbo and am looking more into this will keep you all posted.

[Samantha]

I was on the council and yeah you didn't make it but I'd assume those who did would receive one too. I didn't though.

Andii, the email showing what you sent originally wasn't difficult, when we got to be part of yammer we received some applications via email so someone who was on the council will probably have had your email x.

Andii;

[Mr.L.Darragh]

Thats what i thought her name came up as it and not the email address. I asked habbo and am looking more into this will keep you all posted. Hmm, have you tried viewing the source? If you don't know how, you can google it or tell me what domain you with and i'll help ;]?

[Andii]

Hmm, have you tried viewing the source? If you don't know how, you can google it or tell me what domain you with and i'll help ;]?



lmao how do i do that??? and what do you mean domain?? lool

[Mr.L.Darragh]

lmao how do i do that??? and what do you mean domain?? lool Domain is like Gmail or Hotmail, usually theres a little dropdown menu by the sender that you can click, and press 'View Source' or 'View Original' ;] If you can't find it still, just ask ;]

[Andii]

i have no idea what im doing so ill pm you lmao

[Mr.L.Darragh]

i have no idea what im doing so ill pm you lmao
Replied, with some massive grammar fails, so just ignore them LOL.

@Andii (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=68225);

You got to see people's email addresses or just the email? The fact you got to see either is ridiculous.

[Samantha]

You got to see people's email addresses or just the email? The fact you got to see either is ridiculous.

Ikr, logged on when it happened and found I had tonnes of emails. I'll check now whether it was the address or just content. I agree with you.

Red; Andii; I received the application of approximately 5 different people and their email was on it. Shows a massive lack of security for it! This stopped after about a day but still shouldn't have happened.

[Michael]

Ikr, logged on when it happened and found I had tonnes of emails. I'll check now whether it was the address or just content. I agree with you.

If you can see the email addresses, I feel totally alarmed.. its not right at all.

[Red]

Omg wtf.... so people on the council were given peoples personal details. That is a disgrace.

[October]

Yeah that's true, I don't think Sulake staff add their name into emails directly though, apart from Jason? Not sure about that though.

Actually, that happened during the Council thing, the e-mails were bounced back.

[Samantha]

Actually, that happened during the Council thing, the e-mails were bounced back.

Yeah they did! Did you also get sent applications when you were in the council?

http://habboxwiki.com/Habbo_Council

The list of who were in it is on there.

[Red]

They didn't think that would be a security risk? If they stopped after a day, maybe they realised their mistake but they could of advised people to change their email addresses.

[October]

Yeah they did! Did you also get sent applications when you were in the council?

http://habboxwiki.com/Habbo_Council

The list of who were in it is on there.
Yeah, I did get people's applications during like everyone else at first aha.

I remember Otus sending one of the applications I received.

[Mr.L.Darragh]

Actually, that happened during the Council thing, the e-mails were bounced back.
What emails were bounced back?

Btw, they could just be saying that since apparently the email was sent from something like [email protected]. Habbo use @habbohotel.com or @Sulake.com, they asked you to reply and not make a new email, which could explain it. I'm pretty sure this is a scam tbf.

[Andii]

If you can see the email addresses, I feel totally alarmed.. its not right at all.

Wow I agree with this actually if this is a scam then I could actually take Habbo up for this for giving out personal details -.-

[October]

What emails were bounced back?

When we applied, during the first day, the apps we sent were bounced back to us.
Then when other people applied after we were accepted, those e-mails were forwarded to all of the current council people.

[Samantha]

Yeah, I did get people's applications during like everyone else at first aha.

I remember Otus sending one of the applications I received.

Yeah I got his, Andii; was another.


@mr.l.darragh Yammer is the site for which the Habbo Council was for, due to our accounts not able to access on there now I attempted to sign up, a GMAIL domain is personal thus wouldn't allow it to sign up anyway, big fail on whoever did it :P.

[Mr.L.Darragh]

Yeah, exactly. Jason's fansite updates and any emails I've ever received from Habbo or Sulake, are from the @Habbohotel or @Sulake domain.

What a fail, Sulake really should of told people that they'd done that. Now this is happening because of it lmfao.

Wonder who's doing this then, must be a council member, or they must at least know about it to forward the details..

That were like 12? There was Deege, Samanfa, God, Axiv, Habtaz, myself, -Sno, Barry, and others that I can't remember.

650c was one and Ekelektra too I believe. Not sure if Storking was?

I bet it's Samanfa;

[Samantha]

I bet it's Samanfa;

Yeah because Paul keeps ignoring me ofc ;).

Nah major security flaw there.

[xxMATTGxx]

This isn't the first time Sulake has forgotten to use BCC instead of To/CC. Happened on one of the earlier fansite emails when they changed the programme for it. Although not as big as this but still giving people out email addresses that could be linked to other accounts. Staff members only use @Sulake.com address - I doubt you will see anything else being used these days.

[Mr.L.Darragh]

Haha ;]

Yeah it is an amazingly ridiculous security flaw..

[October]

650c was one and Ekelektra too I believe. Not sure if Storking was?
Yeahhhh, I wasn't sure if Ekelektra was in the original batch, though.
But I think that's it for the first few that joined, before they re-opened apps?

I can't remember if Valrulz was in it then or later.

Moffins was original.
So was Salukorona.

Erm, people said that God was a hacker type person, one of suspicious behavior, so him maybe?

[Michael]

I also doubt someone would get they're own name wrong.

[Andii]

The email was this just realised the other questions lmao defo a scam
