    Default Website Phishing - Popular Scam! READ!

    Okay, many of you now are probably thinking..
    Website Phishing? You spelt it wrong mate, Its Fishing.
    Well actually it is like fishing, they lure you in, and hook you, and then take all of your furniture!

    How does it work?
    Okay, Their are programmes that people can put on their sites, that will log you out of Habbo Hotel, and re-direct you to a fake page, Called a Fake Login, If you dont tend to read the address bar, you will put in your details, and continue as if you would.
    The genius and reality of this scam, is that, it will still log you into habbo, so you are none the wiser.

    How can I prevent this happening to me?
    To prevent this happening from you, you should always check if the site is official, or if it sounds too good to be true.
    Also if you do get logged out of Habbo, read the top address bar in the Client pop-up as this should saywww.habbo.co.uk/client or something along the lines, with www.habbo.co.uk within it.

    What should I do if people are advertising this?
    You should most defiently inform hotel staff, by using the Habbo Help Tool, Or sending a Call For Help.

    What are common advertisements of this scam?

    Can I get a job on your site please?
    If anybody asks you this, and you do not have a website, just ignore and delete them, If you dont have a site, dont check the site, whatever they say, they are trying to lure you.

    1 More listener to win throne on www.example.com!
    Also, If their is one space for one listener left, and their is only about 5 people already, would they give out a throne? Think of the logic.
    Also, If the site name is something along the lines of; www.freethrones.tk then its a big, No, No!

    Go to www.example.com to see Habbo in the future!
    If you could see Habbo in the future, then it would be posted everywhere, not just on one site, Also, if its in the future, it will come one day, so you could just wait and not spoilt the surprise, if any.
    The only surprise is your furniture dissapearing.

    So remember keep safe, Dont visit unofficial sites, if you do, Keep your pop-up blocker turned on!

    It doesn't log you out.

    Sometimes its hard to tell whether the person advertising their site is legit or not, I guess you just gotta be careful.
