Scams- What Not to do!

~~Craig~~ · 02-06-2005, 07:36 PM

Ok i was bored and seen that alot of people had been getting scammed lately and i have been scammed a few times before so here are a few ways of getting scammed and how not to get scammed:

The Quick Trade trick: I have fallen for this trick twice,stupid i know but at time i was a noob and have learnt from then. Basically all they do is say something like: My hc sofa for your dicemaster or a similar trade which makes it look like your getting profit. Sometimes they either put the item in and wait for u to put yours in,then tick then cancel and say" too slow gotta be quicker" and/or then try doing same trade but make you put your item in first and put in similar item,if hc sofa,green rug,if pillow red doormat,or something like that,then tick as soon as they put item in and so will you,SO DON'T DO THESE QUICK TRADES

The Free creds/Free furni trick: I fortunately haven't fallen for this trick but have seen people fall so i have told them its a scam. Well the scammer says to usually a crowd of people: Who wants free creds/furni come 2 my room etc, then at the room they say if you give me your pass and watever furni you hav ill double or ill giv you 100 free creds,so they give the scammer their pass,u disconnect,the scammer logs in as you then takes any furni you have, this has unfortunately happened to friends and as i can see people on this forum. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASS and NEVER LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO SAY I CAN GET YOU FREE FURNI OR CREDS

Casinos: Often people scam at casinos if they're in a booth and take your bet and if you lose they don't give your furni back, so that is why I never bet,unless it is someone i truely trust or someone truely rich.

Games such as FF or race: Scammers often say " Come to my race,prize is para and dicemaster" or something like that. I have fallen for this trick,and i wasnt too happy :@ but now i never p2s or rev because your just going to get a piece of furni back so whats the point. Again, IF YOU CAN TRUST OWNER AS FRIEND OR WILLING TO TAKE A RISK,P2S OR REV etc,if not then i wouldnt try.

The New Habbo SE or another scamming site: This is basicaly what appears to be a new habbo, but it isnt,all the links to site if you look at adress bar it's probably piczo or yahoo or another free site web. It looks like the normal sign in bar on habbo but once you put in your ID and pass, the people scamming who own your site will have a log of who has signed in and it will have your pass and id so they will access your habbo on the real habbo and take any furni

well thats all i can think of for now,thanks for reading,cheers
