    Default Why doesn't everyone become a scammer?

    I don't get annoyed by getting scammed, I get annoyed how Habbo say you are not allowed but when people do it, they turn a blind eye and don't give a "bobba" :@

    I'm honestly tempted to just make other accounts and do it cos you can get away with it and make credits.

    Don't you guys agree that Habbo is mucked up and allows scammers to continue and bans others for making scam rooms :@

    Will

    PS. I'm nice so I won't scam xx

    If you want to make a decent profit you won't via scamming normally.

    Obviously you can deal in a casino and scam a bet. But you then need to buy rights, which costs enough anyway.

    Most the standard scammers don't make enough to make it worth it (well in my opinion scamming 10c every few days is not worth the effort)

    My brother made his furni through scamming but then he lost it all in a scam from someone else. What goes around comes around!

    Also yeah it's not really worth it until you're rich enough to scam the bigger amounts but the hard part is to get up to that point without scamming (in which time what's the point? you've got rich via legitimate means so you might as well continue with that instead)

    Habbo not caring annoys me beyond words, Hobbas didn't even get paid and they cared. God knows some currents don't.

    I know of one particular user who actually scammed many people of a fair few thrones, however because the user was so popular, no one believed the people who the user scammed.

    Sophisticated scammers (not the amateur "tell me your pw" tricks scams) can make a lot more than anybody can make legitimately in most games. A prime example of this is nearly every MMO out there, but a good few habbo users ( most of the the habbo blackmarket sellers) also would make it big through scamming.

    The reason i don't scam is because of the morality of it rather than the fear of being caught. I know how bad it feels to be scammed and i learned this very early on.
    Bonjour, la noirceur, mon vieil ami
    Je suis venu te reparler
    Car une vision piétinante doucement
    A laissé ses graines lorsque je dormais
    Et la vision
    Qui était plantée dans mon cerveau
    Demeure toujours
    Parmi le son du silence

    I do hope you are not accusing most blackmarket sellers of being scammers x

    Not small or even medium size sellers perhaps. But most of the big time sellers certainly are. I think i had a discussion about this before and i pointed out that the amount of big bet casinos and their usage versus the amount that big sellers seem to constantly put on the market just doesn't add up.

    Blackmarket selling is good for people who want to leave and rather have real life cash.

    All the times I get scammed, is from grabbers with the obvious win and ban scam. I find it annoying because there are grabbers that are like 1 sack per go, and you can just get a clone or friend to act as if they win, and they can show it. After this, people pay and get kicked. The owner can make loads and keep banning people

    Will

    Buy one hundred thrones at £x then sell at x + 3 = big profit, lots of thrones.

    They are not scammers, many are hackers though.
