    Default Avoid Game Scams Article!

    Avoid getting crushed in casinos
    Hate scammers? Well one of the most common ways to get scammed on Habbo is in game rooms. Game rooms are there to have fun and interact with other Habbos - well in a perfect world all game rooms would be that way.


    However a lot of these rooms are a danger zone! Some of the owners claim that if you win the game you will win all of their rares. Now this is time for realistic thinking to take place, so pop on your thinking cap and ponder on this…would someone really give away all their rares? And all just for a few Pay to Stay norms?’ It’s very, VERY unlikely isn’t it!

    Another possible scam alert is when the owner chooses not to display their name. Once again it’s thinking cap time! Think to yourself, why would a proud room owner choose not to display their Habbo name? This is when your scam alert should flash red. Will they take all the Pay to Stay (p2s), Revenge (rev), Super Revenge (srev) and Autos and not give the prize? (This is by no means in all cases!)

    So next time you’re in a games room and your scam alert flashes red then dust off that thinking cap, pop it on and follow this advice:

    If you’ve got a feeling that the owner has a clone playing the game and winning then simply ask them to both wave at the same time, if they can’t or refuse then leave.
    Never give away your furni by p2sing, reving, autoing or any other form of payment, as there is no guarantee there is a prize at the end of it.
    If you’re ever scammed then do not hesitate to report the scammer!
    If you made any friends whilst in the room and you are then scammed then message them explaining what happened so that they can inform others in the room.

    Of course there are plenty of other game room scams, so just remember to be aware of that and watch out for anything suspicious!
    Keep your thinking cap with you at all times!

    The only way people stop getting scammed it to actually think about what they are doing. Articles only really document a scam, rather than help others solve their problems. Common sense helps greatly.

    Trying to do what? It is common sense, she might aswell tell us how to eat, or something Habbo related, like how to walk forwards "/

    What's the point in the Article?, Just IGNORE as Becs would say!

    Habbo do all these Safety articles and if someone does try to scam you and you report it you get told to PRESS IGNORE -.-

    Well, these article are here to help the Safety of new Habbos.

    The Safety X's would help, but they're too busy participating in all the Habbo events with their room over-ride!
    Adios..
