    People have to stop judging the victims, and start going against the scammer, because one day it could happen to you, and you will know how it feels! Everyone has common sense, as i said in my last post, 'common sense is easy to have' because everyone has it, but common sense doesn't stop you from everything, if you arn't doing so well in a certain subject in school, doesn't mean you are terrible at everything!
    What are you talking about? You can prevent being scammed with ease, this is Habbo we're talking about. Fellow Habbo's, scammers or not, have no access to you - mentally or physically. The only way you can get scammed, is by actually taking part in an action that can possibly get you scammed.

    Don't compare Habbox to real life, because in the real world someone can walk right up to you and top you. On Habbo, you can't physically get hurt, and if it harms your mind - you have problems!

    What I'm saying is, yes, it can be easy falling into a trap if you're not careful, but those who do aren't always the innocent victims, because on most cases would have done something that the Habbo homepage would have warned you not to.

    LMAO! Please explain that a little further, as I do not understand how looking forward to something and mistakes link. What's perfectness got to do with this anyway?

    Jees guys, this is HabboHotel you know.

    If you think this deeply about it then you have my sympathy... :s

    I'd like to know one, just one, story about someone who has been scammed without being greedy or getting into a dangerous situation where the possibilities are that they can get scammed.

    All that perfect world stuff, I think you're talking about heaven, in which case, you need to realise that Habbo isn't all that important when you grow older.

    You learn from mistakes, and some people cry about them. In actual fact, deep down they know they were in the wrong taking part...

    You'll probably all misunderstand my point completely, and start saying I'm a scammer-victim hater and all that. Seriously though, it is not possible to get scammed on HabboHotel without taking part in a process which can possibly get you scammed. There is a way to avoid it, be careful and follow the rules.

    "if far better looseing some worthless furni than eventaly finding someosn nicked your moble phone or your wallet, that you didnt think to put someone safe. i do think thats a valuble lesson."

    Now to me that doesnt makes sense I mean why do we need to be taught lessons in life and 'valuble' ones at that yes we learn through experience and mistakes but i do not in any way think these should be done in soem deliberate way to help us. Its like congratulating scammers for helping us enter the real world. Yes its far worse having your phone or wallet nicked (which I have both had happen to me) But god sake being scammed wouldnt of helped me from these situations would it?

    "and if it harms your mind - you have problems! "

    Thats thoughtless I mean some people have spent money on it.. I grant there desision, dont they have some right to actually get a lil upset/annoyed about it, Your saying having emotions make you have problems.

    "I'd like to know one, just one, story about someone who has been scammed without being greedy or getting into a dangerous situation where the possibilities are that they can get scammed."

    Easy I was on habbo a year ago and i realised this girl i knew from one of my classes was on. We used to talk on messenger (She was already on it before I started.) and we used to like exchange work we hadnt done.. So one time she sends me our biology homework over msn, I mean I trusted her why wouldnt I.. Luckily for me i happened to have AVG on messenger and found she had attached a kelogger on the file, she was trying to get me. I was lucky but this kind of thing does happen.. Friends you trust backstab you using your pass, keylogging you.

    1) If you think losing a pile of pixels is worse than losing a mobile phone, you're lying. I've been mugged before, when I was 11, I haven't ever had a worse experience. I've been scammed, yes, when I was new to Habbo. I admit it was my fault...

    2) When I said if it harms your mind then you have problems, I was simply saying that if you had your priorities right you would have worse problems in your life than losing 30p worth of pixels. I apologise if I upset anyone, but jees - when you grow up (I'm not saying this in an offensive way), you will understand that when you lose something that's virtual, via a computer, it's not all that bad.

    3) LMAO! That story is not scamming, it's called hacking - there's a difference. A keylogger isn't a scam, it's a virus that can take any passwords, and she was a traitor yes... So you're whole point there is completely invalid. Infact none of it was valid, because you didn't even get hacked in the first place..

    Once again I shall ask, if anyone knows one, just one, story about someone who has been scammed without being greedy or getting into a dangerous situation where the possibilities are that they can get scammed.

    Not so easy, is it?


    PS: I knew I would get a reply like that. Which is why I wrote what I did at the bottom of my previous post. Don't ever say losing furni is worse than being mugged in real life - because anyone sane will tell you it's not, mugging is a serious crime.


    ________________________________________

    Everyone:

    A scam is where the person intentions are to get as much profit out of the relation, with complete disregard to personal feelings and finances of the victim.

    A partial or 'honest' scam is when a person does not break a relation because of financial motives, when she would otherwise end it.

    In both cases the 'victims' are guilty of being gullible at least. Often this is the result of not asking the right questions and not doing any thinking!!

    I never said that beleive me a mobile phone theft is far worse I know that too, Ive had it happen to me. It was horrible. On a second occasion I had my bag stolen off me. I meant 'Its far worse having your..' There Just a typo I apologise. I was suggesting the logic that we should have these things done to use to teach us valuable lessons was off. I was mot suggesting Thta it was worse ok. Im perfectly saine, Thanks.

    "2) When I said if it harms your mind then you have problems, I was simply saying that if you had your priorities right you would have worse problems in your life than losing 30p worth of pixels.

    Excuse me, You dont know anything about me, You said it is not an offensive way but how can I not get offended. I have my lifes priorites fine, I realsie that theres more important things than a loss of pixels.
    All i said i if you read that people have a right to be a bit down that someone stole somehting from them that was all.

    "3) LMAO! That story is not scamming, it's called hacking - there's a difference. A keylogger isn't a scam, it's a virus that can take any passwords, and she was a traitor yes...

    Oh I was meerly answering. What you said was "getting into a dangerous situation where the possibilities are that they can get scammed." Yes it was hacking but i was trying to display that some people may have these situations that they get scammed in that all they did was a trust a friend.

    You got my reply, whatever 'type of reply' you wanted, well it doesnt always work like that.

    Ok I'm not gonna number them, simply because I can't be bothered now - But in your previous post you said "Yes its far worse than having your phone or wallet nicked", which is why I thought you mean.. what you said...

    When I said 'you' I said it in a general way, as if I was saying it to the person who believes that, I don't know you no, I don't want to know anything about you, frankly I'm not interested in you. I wasn't directing that at you.

    What do you mean you were merely answering? I asked for a story about a scam, and you told me about a hack story - that doesn't really back up your point now does it, when I was refering to scams.

    When I said I knew I was going to get a reply like that, I didn't demand any type of reply I wanted, I know it doesn't work like that because I've been posting here since last July.

    Gullible isn't an insult, if you look at it in it's true meaning you'll see I actually took that whole paragraph from a definition off of the internet, meaning the scammers victim didn't thouroughly check things out before taking part in such actions.

    Yeah I admit I made a typo in my earlier post.. I shall edit that.
    Even if the 'you' wasnt at me and aimed at every one its still a patronising statement. Its like what Elders have drummed into you since you were old enought to talk back. Why do we need to be told to 'When we grow up' This place is for alot a way they can be themselves.. I mean its like everyone is immature or something. People even from an early age have a concept of the world and morals and whats right or wrong.

    By the way I used that example of hacking similar to scamming to reflect the fact that alot of people get scammed by people they trusted, people who had taken them in and misled them or friends that turned there back on them.

    I also meant the insult was saying they were not thinking. I did not say it was being Gullible.They had a moment of mistake. Unforunately some people do get led by scammers in the gullible sense pretedning to be there friends.


    All we seem to be doing is responding points in the others posts. So Ill just say that I think that anyone gettin scammed is wrong, and That the scammer should take much more blame than anyone else it wasnt the victims motive to go and get scammed was it. People shouldnt be told that its a valuable life lesson.

    I read the first bit, then got bored... The when you grow up thing is to those who get emotionally scared by being scammed on Habbo Hotel, I can't be bothered to argue anymore, seriously. I've made my point, you've made yours, let's agree to disagree.

    I've pretty much answered everything you've just said already about 9 posts ago, and I'm not gonna keep posting the same things over and over.

    Ditto. So we agree to disagree. I very much doubt people get emotionally scared, But If they do well thats them.. people are unique in thoughts and reactions.This is not an argument.
    It is a 'Debate' If it was an argument.. we wont imagine that, lol.

    True, debates are tiring.. I've started losing the will to type. I go now. Eat. Hungry. Back 2 minutes. Gone. B-...
