Trading Pass Scam

Today I lost my 1 year Lost_witness anniversary trophy due to somebody not having a trading pass.

Somebody added me and said they would give me 200 credits for the trophy. I stalked them and the room had about 10 thrones and 20 gold bars in it. I traded him and it said he didn't have a trading pass. He then said 'oh, i'll send you the 200 credits in a present.' I said ok then, and eventually i wanted the 200 credits as its the best (and only) offer i had, so I gave him the trophy. He then kicked and removed off friends list etc.

I didn't loose any furniture really as I got it free when attending the anniversary event, but beware of this scam - NEVER GO FIRST.

I should have asked him to send 100 credits first but oh well, its habbo lol.

Just a warning guys - don't fall for it.

Never trust anybody without a trading pass. They don't have them for a reason. Sorry to hear about your loss. :(

It's nothing to do with a Trading Pass really; it's the same as any common irregular trade where someone is required to "go first" and become vulnerable.

I don't see the logic in that tbh. Either the middle man is someone I don't know, so they could scam me as easily. Or if it's someone I do know, I could just be getting them to scam the other person for me :S.

set up a new trade craze where you find trusted middle men then and traders in these circumstances but i most probaly think a moderator would do it for you after checking your ip's.

That room was either not his, OR he turned his trading pass thing off.
