    Default Habbo, Scamming its own users?

    I am beginning to think that over the years a good majority of people who have claimed to have been hacked or keylogged have actually been the victims of Sulake corporations elaborate scheme to extort money from children. I know a good majority of you might think its a crazy suggestion but it fits in well with the operations of corporations in todays civilized society. When a large company decides to add on a 0.10 cent / 0.10 pence fee to its fees when they have a large number of customers, that amount can add up to a significant increase in revenue or stock of a companys overall net worth. What I am suggesting here is that Sulake corporation has been removing items of furniture from users accounts with the notion that alot of these kids hunger for furni remains even when the furni is gone. This more probably than not involves the user then spending more credits to re-obtain the items they once posessed. Look at it this way, I think Sulake would protect the scammers before they protect the users that are being scammed, the scammers arent the ones purchasing anything from sulake they are taking away furniture from users who have previously purchased credits and these users are more likely to spend more money than the user who has never previously spent anything. I know Habbox is a Habbo Fan site and this thread will probably not be widely accepted but I would like to say that if Habbo hotel was a reputable and respected company we would get answers to our emails and phone calls. Feel free to post any comments you might have.

    I am currently searching all over the internet and using as many resources as I have to get to the bottom of it. If I dont receive any valid responses from them I am going to start making my story and the stories of others more publicly available in the media and as many other sources that I could utilize until all points are heard.

    Ah, nice view.
    It might be true, after all, Habbo is all about earning money for themselves.

    Habbo is an addiction.
    No more signatures, no more Habbo.
    Goodbye.

    Yep addictive. Poor habbo's will also buy furni because of comps like the seven wonders.Without furni a habbo feels unimportant.

    Thumbs down

    We must all admit that the concept for the game was a very good one, just like you say Rasmus, a Habbo feels unimportant without furni. All of us started as poor habbo's and the natural jealousy all "Humans" feel when they dont have what other people do takes over our sub-conscious. Habbo is a game where subliminal messages are everywhere and thats what causes the greed and turns everyday regular kids into furni hungry scamming machines who are constantly deriving new ways to scam others. Just like the way the police force requires criminals in order to keep their jobs I believe Habbo views the criminals in their game in the same aspect of thinking, the more scammers that exist in the network the more money that is suquentially generated for the corportation. It would not suprise me at all if alot of these "Scammers" are actually operating under the control of Sulake. And yes, Habbo is an addiction and thats why when alot of people get scammed they feel a strong desire to reobtain there posessions. Plain and simple Habbo is dangerous for kids and creating many evil people that wouldnt normally go to these measures over a simple game. Also pay close attention to what happens in these casinos, there are some users at the age of 12 that frequently go into casinos and bet away every single one of their rares, hmmmm let me take a wild guess and say that the kid that lost them all will probably grab his parents credit card order up some credits and then head right back to that casino.

    I agree.And being a poor habbo myself I'm kind and dontated some of my stuff.But thats ok cause someone donated them to be lol .Anyway thats one thing I like about coke if it closes you wont have lost money.When habbo closes you will.Which is why habbo credits SHOULD be free.

    BY scamming there users they would make less money, thats the whole reason habbo has hobbers etc, they dont have to, as its realy your responciblty to look after stuff, but tehjy do to try and make people feel safe enogh to bother buying creditss.

    If people get scamed, they will most likly complain, give bad info, and ithe rleave habbo or stop buying furni.
    If there not scamed they will be jessols of those even richer and will conatinue to by stuff.
    So they have no need to scam there own uses and would be stupid if they were "/

    Habbo is payed for, mainly buy the income from credit purchasing, if habbo didnt charge for credits, it would ether require supsciption fees, or flood you with ad's to pay its server bill,s plus people cant run somthing like habbo, and have other jobs so they do need to make an income, if they didntn habbo would just shut down "?
