Email scam (Pretty clever stuff)

Basically just got an email, looked fully legit and I clicked on it but didn't input my details because obviously well... yeah. It told me that my account was gonna expire in 7 days if it wasnt verified.

Anyway, checked through the headers and yeah it kept saying it was from [email protected] but then I noticed the name of the PC that it was sent from.

The PC was called *REMOVED*, idk who the hell that is but yeah. Got the ip of the sod too, *REMOVED*, (hey, not naming and shaming ;))

Anyway, the link on the email sends you to a '*REMOVED*' page which is totally fake yknow, didn't even have the security so just watch it yeah guys? Almost caught me out, regardless I've changed my pw just in case.

I remember that particular scam, that was only about a year ago people used to do that... These sort of scams are getting more popular though... scares me tbh :(

:L OMG. I remember when everybody used to say "type your pass, but dont enter it, press ctrl m instead" xD loadsa noobs fell for it. :/ Sometimes people might say "If you type your pass in it will turn up like ****" or something like that. Btw, that dont work ;] Habbo will recognise your pass when you type it in on the client as an ordinary word but sometimes with numbers but like when some people write H1! Basically, never type your pass at all anywhere! Apart from logging on to ACTUAL habbo. cause, you wont be able to get on your acc if you dont log on;)

I remember actually trying (back when I first joined Habbo in 05) to see if my password would come up as stars :P

This thread is pretty much ******* useless now as its all been removed

nice 1 scott

As above said, that ones been around since '05 at least, and it wouldn't surprise me if its been around longer. I'm surprised people ever fell for it.

and as scott said, this thread is kind of pointless now.

yeah the mods on this forum are stupid lol.
thanks tho xoxo
