    Default Rights Scam. [If this has been posted elsewhere, please remove this.]

    Here's another reason why you should only give rights to trustworthy people and not to those that just ask for it for a second.

    Type of Scam - Where you give rights to someone and they exploit it and steal your furniture.

    Scenario - You are in your room, and the scammer pops in and asks for rights in your room for just a couple of seconds just to drop a piece of furniture (or they could say something else, like they wanna redecorate, donate, etc) and you give them rights. Say there's a bonsai tree hidden somewhere in your room, the scammer "drops" a piece of furniture, but only really moves your bonsai infront of you making it out as if though they had dropped it. They then ask for the furniture back, and as you don't want to be a scammer, you give the furniture back. Your furniture is then missing, boom, you're scammed.

    Tips - Never give those to rights that just ask for even a second, if they're going to donate furniture, ask them to donate it via a trade box or a donation room.

    Watch out people!

    Nice one BluweesH, this does appear to be a new scam, and I was going to make a thread on it myself, since yesterday they tried that on me twice. You know whats great about it? When they pick you its because they know u are an honest person who would actually give it back to them if they asked for it. Thats why they go to rich casinos, cuz if they tried that in a poor casino the guy would just be like "No, u dropped it, its mine now."

    Well iv'e never heard of this scam, I don't think I have enough furniture to lose something or be mistaken and not think it's mine or something. Either way, it's a cheeky scam and easily fallen for, oh well.

    I've been using Habbohotel for a while And I've seen every other type of scam happen often, but not this one. I don't hear anyone else talking about it either...

    And thanks Mark027.
