    Default HOW TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED

    You must remeber that u cannot get scammed without putting yourself at risk.
    What i meen is in order to get scammed you must first give out your furni or password.
    As far as i kno ther is no current way of getting your pasword without u telling the scammer so bellow i have listed the top 10 scams to help you avoid being scammed:

    1 if somone asks you to shout out your password by sayin something like
    'LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TYPE IN YOUR PASSWORD ******'
    DO NOT try it report the habbo that is saying it.

    2 Some scammers will flood rooms with websites that they claim will give you free credz fair enough go to the website if you want to but if it asks you to download something or give them your password and username make sure u dont lol.

    3 some smart scammers will use key loggers thease are programmes that download onto your computer and then register everyrthing you type they will then send it via email to the scammer to avoid this make sure u dont download anything such as scripting tools.

    4 you cant buy paint without credz dont trust anyone else to do it for u about 99.9% of ppl will scam u.

    5 do not trade cameras tht people say have film in them becoz usually u will have to pay over the price of a normal camera and when u eventualy get it it will probably have 0 film anyway.

    6 if u r buying linking teleporters or imps make sure u get the seller to prove they link by showing u in one of there rooms.

    7 if u have a shop and somone walks in and asks to buy everything then offers something way above the value of the stuff in the shop kick them
    becoz most will say there isnt enough to fit in the trade box give me some first then ill swap the rest for the peice of furni.

    8 anyone saying they willm give u free credz is a scammer thats basicly it no ones gonna give u free credz.

    9 you cant trade camera film if somone trades u and says its film it isnt it is most likely a picture.

    10 there is no such thing as a super rare black amber lamp the amber lamp shown if black in a trade is infact a red amber lamp i used to get scammed by tht 1 lol.

    oh well hope that helps a bit!

    Obviously it isn't true of all people, you can't say that everyone is a scammer if they trade teleports or sell paint, But very good guide :-)

    Which it is probably meant to do, as the more "experienced" habbo would not fall for these

    So good guide
