someone i knew and chatted with a lot sent me a link, i went, a little while later all my stuff was changed (think i got cookie grabbed) lost DBD, hypno helm, sinsis sword, honey pot, 1.2mil pure (this was when hypno helm was like 700k)
If you use good judgment you can eliminate the probability of getting scammed. For example, don't ever post one of those chain letters: it's a scam, and you won't receive 100,000,000nps from it.
I have. My computer was somehow infected with a keylogger which allowed someone to steal my account. Luckily, I had under 200k NPs in that account and it was under 4 months old so he didn't get much.
i was. i had a disco brush stolen from me i won off the fruit machine or tombola i cant rember which? at the same time i also got a tenna. i still rember the guys name on neo & would love to hack him if his accunt still exists. :evil:
I was sorta scammed I guess you can say... in 2001 i think it was when i last played, a person messaged me one day on MSN saying that they were neopets staff and they needed my password and stuff and they could give me 100 million NPs. Every day when I logged on they would message me trying to convince me that they were neopets staff and they could get me a ton of Nps and blah blah blah. Usually when this person messaged me i just messed with them for a while before I just signed off. So one day I decided to quit neopets and just decided to give them my user and pass because they had been trying so hard. i learned a little bit later on (actually it was about two months ago when I came back to NP, lol) that it was a girl I knew who was trying to scam me. I wish I could get that account back -_- if anyone has any idea on how I can get it back PM me.
scam I lost my very 1st account. but then 4 years later I got it back but then lost it to my most recent chain ice... :S The Irony of TNT.. sometimes I just think they gave it back to tease me
I've been scammed out a Krawk once, but I got into their account and took pretty much everything a few days later, so it's all good 8)
i was scammed of np and items totalling around 100k.. back when my very first account was around 6 months old 8) it was a lot to me then.. really got me upset.. but that amount doesnt really matter now
I've never been scammed. But my friend once (stupidly) entered all her details into one of those "np generators" and then cried when they took everything. Idiot.
i really dont understand why people keep getting scammed...just use common sense and DO NOT LEND OUT ITEMS
it's not about just lending out items back my friend joined neopets and he lost 50k somebody said that they would give him a paint brush if he got something at there shop but it was fake the next day he went and looked at his lookup and someone had iced him and he was going to do that. so no noob's are the most targeted one's it's just not right. that's why i go looking to turn people like that in. i go to the trading post there is just so many people that say don't bid well that is there mistake. i like to thank of myself as an law enforcer.
lol. i love those things. i always put stuff like Name: now i know this is a scam Password : asifidtellyou etc etc
