Well have you registered to Habbox.com?
I would say it is a scam looking at the e-mail address which it is from and if you think about it if you hadn't activated your account how have you already had over 700 posts ? Surely you don't need to activate something which already works - so its a scam in my opinion.
i signed up for tht thing on the main site, where u can logg in to see wt it was, is tht it?
I registered and didnt get the activation thing ...
Well hover over the link and see what it is, if it's Habbox.com then it's correct but you've signed up so it's probably real. They probably didn't configure the email properly, I'll let someone know.
ty, i wanna be sure before im hacked, but the thing is, the my username aint right, tbh can some1 just dlete me off there completely
Yonder454 is a super admin on Habbox.com, this is why the email is from him. This email is genuine.
If i were you I would be careful with what you decide to do, try sending a help message to someone and see what they say.
The reason the e-mail is like that is because managers and above on Habbox.com accounts do not have an email attached to them so they can't be reverted etc. So they are changed to things such as that.

If you want to be that extra secure, then you can just visit www.habbox.com and login with your details.Quote:

Already looking into it.Quote:

thank you
Maybe if it was from "Habbox" instead of it being from "Yonder454" this might help clear up some confusion too.
Glad to hear that now it ends with @ habbox.com & yes i agree with flatface here, you should change the senders name from Yonder454 to habbox then people will know its a legit e-mail.Quote:

This is what was confusing users as they didn't think it was a real Habbox email, what I did was is any emails from Joomla (The CMS Habbox runs on) to the users are now sent by: [email protected]. This then in the email subject has the words "Habbox".Quote:
