Devious new console scam on .com.sg...

[Adzeh]

A link was posted a couple of days ago, on the .com.sg homepage, to a write up of a new scam.

"Console Email Scam"


The below email is sent to a Habbo through the Console. It is a scam. Do not respond to it if you receive it. It was NOT sent by Saffron. Habbo Staff would never ask for your personal details.

Dear \'Habbo\',

Recently while updating our newest server we encountered a fatal error in which our list of passwords were deleted, Our backup system backed 97% of them up but missed 3%. While your password will still work we require your Habbo Name, Date of Birth and Password to ensure you have full security.

Please e-mail me those to my personal e-mail address as we would like to keep this quiet, Magiclover69********.com

Happy Habboing!

Regards,
Saffron,
Hotel Manager,
Habbo Hotel SG

please do not fal for this scam, whether you hail from .com, .com.sg or .co.uk

stay safe. and happy habboing.
