Save Yourself From Scams

Quote:

Quickly, to the lifeboats! (No, wait...)
Since we've been talking about how to avoid scamsites and retro sites for most of this week, it's time to put the theory to the test. Pop by the Net Cafe anytime from today until 23 May and check out our Say No To Retros! competition poll in the room and see how much you know about avoiding those pesky scammers.
A random 50 Habbos who get all the correct answers will receive a Waasa Desktop Computer and a No To Retros badge, while everyone else who gets all the right answers will receive a No To Retros badge as well. Good luck and stay safe!

Done the poll

Answers: (very easy)

1. report the URL to a mod or to the habbo player support tool
2. delete the mail and run a virus check. Habbo staff will never ask for my password
3. because there might bedangerous viruses and keyloggers on the website
4. No
5. running an antivirus on my computer

Yeah answers are correct. Makes me laugh how it looked like we were getting a rare badge (by attempting to get into the Infobus sessions)... but now they've just released them to everyone in this room poll! :P I'm glad I didn't waste more time trying to get into the bus now lol.

LOL they're making it sound like the desktop computer is worth loads and the badge is just a bit on the side.. it's only 3 credits to buy from the catalogue! :P

Apparently I've done it, though I have no prior knowledge of this, so I was probably very tired or drunk, so I'll be surprised if I got them right

It may be the same badge but with different descriptions.
