Furni Scams

Furni scams

In real life you look after your possessions don't you? You wouldn't think about leaving your prized Gameboy with someone you hardly knew would you? And surely you wouldn't dream of doing a swop with someone where you had to hand over your things first?

Then why do it in Habbo Hotel? Just because a Habbo is friendly, doesn't mean you can trust them. Always use the secure trading system to trade with other Habbos and only every put your furni in someone's room if they truly are a friend (not someone you met five minutes ago).



"I've got a really, really rare item - no one else has got it..."

It's true that some items are rarer than others - but don't fall for the scammers who have items you've never seen before. Always check this list first to see what items of furni are truly rare and which items are illegal:

"If you give me one piece of furni, I'll give you a job that pays"

A job that pays - fantastic! Just think of all the furni you could buy... Wake up Habbo! Have you ever heard of a job in real life that you have to pay to get? Of course not.

If you give another Habbo a piece of furni for a job, chances are you'll work for nothing. Or you might not even get to work at all - often there is no job.

This isn't to say that there aren't any jobs in Habbo Hotel. Some Habbos do offer jobs in their rooms and these can be fun to do. Just don't expect to get paid, even if that's what you're told in the first place.


"I can clone your furni - just put it down in my room"

Some Habbos claim that they can clone your furni if you put it down in their room. Not true! They will just steal it from you.


"I'll paint your room for one furni"

Other Habbos cannot paint your room or change the floor. The only way to do this is by buying wallpaper, paint, carpets etc from the Catalogue.


"Race to win furni"

There are lots of racing games in the hotel - races where you get food out of fridges, races where you rush to stand on a doormat and even 'musical chairs' (without the music though!).

These games and races are great fun, but not all the Habbos who run them are honest. Don't be surprised if they don't give you a prize when you win. Don't take part if you can't trust the Habbo running the room.
