Why doesn't everyone become a scammer?

[Rachel]

I seriously hate scammers.

[Impeachment]

My honest opinion.. scammers and hackers are nothing but fat ******s with no life that need to be lined up and shot one by one }:]~

You remind me of someone from history...
Can't get his name right..

Back in the day, I scammed once, and then got backhanded with a ban. Was disheartening, but for the longest time I never understood what I did wrong. Till 5 years later, I remember doing a FF scam with my friend.. /heartless.

I would probably still do it today. I'm still as heartless. It'd not be my fault that the person wasn't smart enough, I just don't do it. I'd prefer to prevent scams, and hacks, then to cause them. I'd rather use my knowledge to better help others, then cause harm.

I think everyone, at some point in their history on Habbo, has had a phase where they tried to scam people.

The reason why everyone isn't a scammer is being they would completely loose their rep if people found out they scammed, so yeah you maybe rich... but you have no 'real' friends in the game

Yes, but that's why people make secondary accounts :S

Being scammed is horrible. You don't want to make clones to scam to make credits :rolleyes:

Scammers are pathetic its only virtual furni and its not like you will play habbo for life
unless you are that bored

The problem is there isn't really any disincentive on Habbo for people to stop scamming. The only reason why I don't scam is because I have been scammed twice and I wouldn't want to put other people in that same exprience.

The only real action we can all take is educate ourselves on the abundance of scams and take precuations. e.g. bet what you dont mind losing, videoing via hypercam, post recent scams on the forum.

This really annoys me, especially when they say it's your own fault. Like okay, fair enough if you got scammed but if you got hacked then how the hell is that your own fault? :S It really annoyed me once when I got hacked and I knew the person that did this, they were stalking me all week and then I go to his room and see all my furni in his room and whilst this was happening I quickly asked for help from MOD's and they replied saying they can't do anything, even though he was doing it right there and then, pathetic. We should get a petition going so that if you record/screeny or have some other form of proof of you getting scammed/hacked, then we should just be able to send it off to Habbo and they should deal with it by banning the person and returning the furni, this will reduce the amount of scams & everyone's happy. They don't realise that some people dedicate their lives to Habbo, spending credits, building rooms or doing what ever they do, all day and for them to lose that, is like losing everything and its pathetic that they don't do anything about it.

Everyone? I've been scammed at least twice, had my account stolen by a member of this forum, and NO I have never scammed or stolen from anyone.

You should NEVER gamble what you can't afford to lose. If you must gamble then opt for a trusted well known dealer. Does Habbox have a casino? If not why not

Ikr, there should be a Habbox casino where you can only buy rights if you are known to be trusted. That would pwn as an official room
