    Default Is this email a scam?

    Im wondering because it asks me to change my password, and also because it says 'Thanks for your Email' which I didnt send, I have not sent any recently. oh yea and i also thought it was [email protected]

    I fail to see how it could be a scam, perhaps you sent an email to player support a long time ago and forgot?

    if it was a scam email, then that's pretty convincing, i mean:

    The email address is quite suitable
    The email body is addressed formally (no mistakes like noobs do)
    and it says 0rca and contact details - it looks legitimate.

    if you didnt request for help on changing your password/email then do not do what the email is asking you to do. it could always be someone (scammer) sending a HHT message to Habbo Staff about changing your password because you've forgot it. If this is the case then this scammer failed.

    Convincing yet useless. All it's telling him to do is change his password. He can do it if he likes, nothing will happen.

    No its still a scam. I feel like I know about these for some reason.

    I feel like that this email or the person behind it already knows your email password. And being quite smart he or she could just get you to change your password to your email. I do suggest changing your password like. As I do every time I get a email from Habbo or anything like that I change the password for that account or system. Just to be safe.

    It might be real, but reply if you get a reply back you might be able to find out in the replied email. So yeah.

    EDIT: OMG Just noticed, all Habbo replies have the email you sent doesn't it? So yeah.

    No, I don't mean like that. I mean I change it like if I get a email that looks bad if you get me . I am just really over concerned about this. I also get very paranoid.
