I did post it in scams but yeah it didn't have that screenie.

Plus more people read here so they can know and not fall for it.

So MOD don't remove it plz.

Email addreses are commanly found

although its stupid, some people use there comman msn/aol/aim account as there habbo email address to which emails can be sent to.

Also, theres a link on the console for a direct email to be sent

And that would change . . . . . . . . . . . .

The reason people would believe more if it was spelt and set out correctly is because:

1. Sulake are a big business company who have trained people writing emails each day so they use correct english.

2. It was probably written by kids who have knowledge of good spelling or appropriate sentance structure.

I've seen many obvious exploits, and attempts to gain different Habbos' passwords, with far worse grammar and vocabulary than that used in the topical e-mail. Please bear in mind, Habbo will never need you to change your password to a SPECIFIC code, and would only notify you of major events like this, using an address of "@sulake.com/habbohotel.co.uk." Try not to fall for these cunning scams, and stay safe, SA.
