Ever Been Scammed?

[Lewis]

Yes, a lot on habbo.

Also, when my mum moved house, the person she was moving from tried to commit fraud of some sort. Due to the confusion of changing address, the other person could order stuff that would arrive in my old house, yet my mother would have to pay for it... Or something like that, I don't remember! But it turned out well in the end.

omg scammer AND a racist!

i got scammed once, a quick trade scam. remember it like yday, it was so hurtful. she was gonna give me a hologirl for all of my bathroom furni. all i got was a barrel stool i was cryin for DAYS.

whatever tho cos i scammed as well. had ma PALS scam a few ppl on falling furnis (such an elaborate plan) and also the "i'll buy u creds for 3hc" scam. i never bought the creds.

lol I remember when I got quick traded, when all it was to confirm was one tick. People would put the item in, tick then cancel and repeat, eventually putting in a fake item.
A lot of the time I beat the 'quick traders' though !

Hey all,
I was chatting with a friend who just got scammed on Minecraft.
While it is completely different to being scammed out of money, the principal stands that he got scammed.
It lead me onto a question. How many people here at Habbox have been scammed in any form?
If so, when? How? Was it your mistake?

LETS TALK!

Once or twice yeah. The trick is though I have found when making friends on the net - is to be real casual and tell them as much as they'll tell you about themselves. Let them talk and give them answers and then answer what they ask etc. It sure put's the "bad apples" in a position to be exposed (if they are that way inclined).

I'm not sure if this counts as being scammed but I went to France (I think) with my school and there was a guy on a stall selling "paintings". Turns out they were just pictures with a couple of paint blobs.

Also bought a dodgy copy of World at War on eBay, and by dodgy I mean it never turned up.
