    After a night of ABing, I returned to my computer to see a screen that said my account was no longer active. I signed into neopets, and I got the text message of death- this time, it wasn't for score sending or auto buying. This time, it was for scamming.
    However, to my surprise, my unfreeze me I'm innocent strategy didn't work when I asked TNT to unfreeze me.
    They quoted this message:
    And told me that I need to stop going onto neopets.
    And yeah, I believe I have been IP banned in pretty much all of the possible neighborhood networks I could possibly connect to.
    So, after realizing that Neopets is getting kind of dumb, and that I should strike up another hobby, I self froze all my accounts.

    PS: I won't be checking this message any time soon, because I am leaving neopets for a very long time (if not ever) and not visiting NF frequently. You may reply to this message with a question/comment directed to me, but don't be surprised if I don't answer.
    PPS: All my current trades are canceled.
    PPPS: Bye!!!!

    (Last time I'm going to say this on NF for a while so...)

    PPPPS: I just realized that I only have 25-30 posts left until level IV. Whatevas ^^

    Please stay?? Aww, it's sad to see you go :( . You could still be here at NF and contribute, or you could buy some private proxies (only $5 for like unlimited?). Yeah, I think TNT is getting a little overboard with going against cheating because even the legit players are feeling the pressure of innocent bannage :( .

    It's probably because of the recent influx of scamming on neo. I probably would have never thought that scamming would get to be such a big deal. It's pretty common with some other games but not so much w/ neopets until recently.

    That's really scary :/
    I'll have to be more hesitant in my account grabbing.. even though I won't be doing any until I sell my neopoints XD


    Anyway, Cya Fexx!

    these are account he gave out so be allot easier for fex to tell us where he got them..... then we can narrow this down a little

    also you u never were on the account how could tnt know what ur ip was to ban your ip from giving away them accounts? answer they cant ... something in your story doesn't ad up

    Is it ever possible to track them down? Well, I don't think they actually log on or register from the Neopets HQ anyways, so it's hard to. If they got all the way up the level statuses, then, it would be really dangerous, so mods have to watch out :| .

    They monitor the accounts that he posts after he posts them and bans whatever IPs were on it, I'm guessing.

    again he said he doesn't know whats on the accounts so he wasn't on them so his ip wasn't on the accounts! so that would mean they had to some how know his ip on this bored and they cant know that! so there is no way they would know fexs ip to ip ban him for giving away these accounts.. we dont even know how he got these accounts or who they went to... this DOES NOT prove theirs a tnt member here.. .. there is no way they would know fexs ip unless the are a mod/admin... and no none of them are spies! jeesh ppl

    I see what you're saying now. I forgot Fexx said that :/

    There is something fishy about the story then.. something just doesn't add up.

    I just had a moment of realization-
    When anyone says they did anything in neopets, or any site, TNT could check what happened and figure out who it is that did what.
    ----
    I got those accounts from a fake form
    ----
    If TNT can track IPs (which I'm fairly sure they can), then maybe using my network and neighbores network (like 70 yards apart from each other, mind that I'm in an Apt. Building) and having me post like everything that I do on neopets, I'd imagine they could stick together the pieces.
    ----
    Another moment of realization-
    Anyone here could be TNT?
    ----
    Another moment of realization-
    There should be more private forums
    --------
    Eh, maybe I'll check on this thread next week. Bye all.

    ok ppl want proof lina60000 i have around 12 mill on this account ive score sent abed like crazy ave also dont alot more things on the account im psting this here in plan view lets see if they ice me!

    look dude u can walk circles (and you are) all you want fact is i dont believe you.. your story still doesnt add up at all.. want to prove me wrong show us the email worrd for work and i dont mean screenie so u can take it!!

    bc if u weren't on the accounts like u said tnt would have no way to connect the ip that was ip banned to the one that posted the accounts.....

    why would he lie ppl ask? well he knew we created a bored in lvl 5 about getting rid of him and he knew how many people said yes.. hes nothing more then an immature kid. and he was spiteful that the uper level didnt like him and he wanted lvl 5 so when he randomly decides to leave and make up "oh tnt is watching you" as a way to vent his anger... i can go into allot more details but i wont unless needed.. again he lets me or someone see the email i'll retract my comments but i know thats not going to happen bc that was not stated in the email if he did infact get the email ...

    all hes doing is trying to hurt the site by making people think theirs "a tnt member watching us" and i can prove to ppl thats not the case..

    plus only way they would know that we were coming from here is if they had it log this domain so when someone post
    http://www.(neo).com you click it. you to to the site etc. then they can log Referer links.

    so i would suggest you to open a new page and go to neopets and type the link in.

    we even have a system in place to stop that when u click a neo link you get
    "anonym.to

    Please wait while you're being redirected to .*w/e*"

    so they have no idea your coming from this site

    Well, isn't this unnerving. This must mean TNT people are on NF, and that could be bad for everybody here.

    Agreed, but it shouldn't be too hard to avoid being caught. As long as people don't post any information too specific to their account (including things like "Just beat Terask II at 1:30pm Friday and got BoD!!", because that doesn't exactly happen every 30 seconds) and only give out accounts via PM or e-mail, they should be fine.

    Really sorry to hear what happened to you, Fex. I hope you get your account back.

    I've been on this site a long time, NF is actually highly visible and I don't doubt TNT know we exist but in the time I've been here there have been no problems with "spies" it's interesting but ultimately not going to happen.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have to consent you are not a member of TNT or an affiliate of them before you join the site?
