Habbo - My Truth (originally posted on impetuous.net)

[la-ur-en]

Here is what i think about habbo:

Habbo is a very large co-orporation controlled by sulake, the more people they get, the more money the recieve... but what happens to when we buy credits, buy furniture then scammers get it, let me tell you what I THINK the whole plan is...

habbo was created in 2001, as you know not alot of scams were about then, there was hardly any habbos, or any furniture...
ask yourself, how did habbo become so popular?
well when ione sent presents (to hardly any people at that time there was hardly anybody on habbo) to the whole of the hotel, thats when people started coming in, when the first catalogue rare came out, the hotel had more than 2.000 people (at that time) signing in (which was alot)

the more rares they created the more habbos joined, but then, in 2002/3 scams were reported more than often, and why were such scams a relief to sulake well heres why...
if you think about it... scammers/hackers log into your account and steal your furniture, then you report to habbo, you get a reply a few days later asking questions, they then ask you for your ip address, then you get your password back... but when you sign back on whats one of the first things you do? BUY CREDITS, that means that the more scams the better...

heres a quick demonstration

say i bought 20 credits worth of furniture sulake would get £2
but if i got scammed sulake would still have that money...
then i got my password back and buy more credits £5
sulake are makin £7 and your only gettin £5 of that... thats a £2 profit they are making which isnt alot, but if you multiply that by the ammount of habbos in the hotel it is alot

the hotel is expensive to keep up and running but think about it logically, say there were 8,000 habbos - 5,000 habbos = 3,000 habbos get scammed each year
so above all if they spent £7 all together but only got £5 of that, sulake would be getting £21000 a year where as the habbos would be getting only £15,000 thats another £6,000 they are making as a profit (this is just a demonstration, i know there are more/less scams in the hotel and there are more habbos)

im not saying anything bad about sulake, but if it wasnt for scammers the hotel wouldnt be up and running, and im not saying i like scammers as i absoloutely hate them, but for some suspicious reason to me i think scamming is a whole marketing procedure!

if you understand what i meant by all this please comment

i understand what you mean but i wouldn't say that scamming is part of sulakes plan. Also scamming makes people think "Oh well ive lost everything" and many will leave habbo, where they would have originally continued paying for credits

Hi all i think this a load of rubbish. sulake scamming? stupid!! ok say ur right y would ppl keep commin bck? :s

Habbohotel, is a happy, virtual community. It is YOUR choice to buy credits, therefore itis YOUR responsibility to look after your account and prevent scammers.
Sulake is a respected company, and i can assure you, there is no scamming involved.

sulake are a major organisation who make thousands of punds (if not more) a day. they would not risk being shut down because they were deceiving people.

i can see what your saying, but think, as the number of habbos grow, the number of scammers would grow too. cause and effect.

as hacking and scripting technology advances, people would find it easier and easier to scam people. therefore more people would do it as it is seen as a fast cheap way to make furni.

before you go accusing sulake (or any other major organisation, made to make people happier) think about how you are going to do it and why.

most of the time when people get scammed it is there own fault. if they give pout their password, email address, birth day etc.. and they get scammed, its nobdys fault but theirs.

be safe. be carefull and nobody gets scammed.

thats the best advice.

Honestly Sulake Dont Scam

[Simmzy]

Why would sulake scam?
Sulake are the people who work/fix/maintain the hotels, I don't see anything wrong with sulake at all, they make sure habbo is in top order. It's the staff/hobbas that are the problem for the various reasons I won't go into.

I have known for ages about Sulake only having Habbo to make money.

WHy else would Sulake not care when you have had you furni stolen, you are just another annoying customer to them.

[Concentric]

well of course Sulake is profit making company, thats the whole idea :eusa_wall
That doesn't mean that they dont care about their customers though, of course they want happy customers, thats how they make money.

Good Grief !! Its a buisness what buisness doesn't need to make money? It costs a fortune to keep habbo up and running. Who do you think pays for the upkeep of it all, the designers the staff etc etc As for people losing furni well it is up to all individuals to take care of their accounts..if I told someone my bank pin number and they stole all my money do you think the bank would reimburse me for my carelss stupidity?? I think not!!
