So, a few days ago three Habbos came into my trade room, and started to ask for the price of furnis in my room. My room is not huge, but it still took a while to organize and place items in their places.
The Habbos separately made deals with me (even bargained), and over 15 minutes or so they seemed to be communicating with each other (ex. one of the guys went AFK, and the others wanted to buy his items for him as a surprise), and focused on getting new furni to build their rooms.
Over that time I started picking up the furnis to keep track of what they want, and when most of the room was picked up, the three of them just left without a word.
It sounds very ridiculous in retrospect, but they went through with it so patiently that it's hard to suspect they would be plotting and wasting time on something so worthless.
After I reorganized my room the next day, and changed the name of my room, the same Habbos returned to do the same thing, before checking my name ("how much for 2 sands?"). I asked if they want to buy everything again, and then banned them.
I'm sure they're trying to do the same thing with other trade rooms. Hopefully most people are unlike me, and smart enough to pick up on these trolls. But if you haven't been targeted yet, keep an eye out! I do have their names (or at least one of them), but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to list them here.
What a shame how different the Habbo community is now (people used to at least waste their time with some purpose!).
Edit: They were dressed in HC clothing and spoke like they've been on Habbo for a while (they could have been) but the accounts they used were created within this month.
