LOOLL Classic.

That is actually a very clever scam, despite how cruel it is.

Still doesn't explain how they changed the password back :|

You don't need to verify an email for that.

They changed the password by getting the one you changed sent to them? They then changed the password to their liking as they had the D.O.B, email and such.

It's not clever at all they can get it back if they know the DOB.

What happens is when you change your email the original email address gets a email saying do you want to change your email. The scammer clicks no. So the account is still registered with his email address. The once your furni is on the they click forgot password. Then habbo will send the password to that email. Then they have your pw and furni. I hope you didn't make it the password to your propper account. If you did, change it.

That's exactly how it's done, and that's why it's just one reason why it's against the Habbo Way to trade or even give away accounts. The other important factor to remember here, is that the Habbo first offering their account for trade or giveaway could at anytime use the HHT and claim their Habbo account has been stolen, and the person accepting the account for trade would then be accused of stealing (perm ban). It's one of the worst tricks going.

[Cryptoo]

hard luck

Im guessing they contact Habbo or something saying they made the Account and they can check the IP etc. Then they changed the password etc.

It is actually quite interesting, people that say they are stupid are usually the ones that get scammed.

If it ever happens to anyone, don't bother changing the e-mail address. If you just change the password then an e-mail won't be sent to them asking to confirm the change of e-mail.
