He asked me if i wanted FREE furni
I said Yes.
He told me the 'Secret'
Type :Furni
Count to Ten
Enter the numbers: 123

Just to let you that, that that scam is the same as an old one, they trick you into saying your pass, I fell for it when I first started playing Habbo, so it's not a new scam :) but thanks for the post

You seriously fell for that? No offence, or anything, but have you even read any of the scam articles in the Habbo Way?

I love the way people keep thier accounts amazingly secure and Read password protection guides.

Hm.. someone who has 2 thrones and rooms full of furni and who has played habbo for 2 years was stupid enough to say your password out... odd.

I think 2 years is long enough to know that you're NEVER supposed to say your password out!

Sometimes we have to live with the fact - Some people are just Morons.

You just gotta think when someone does that, sorry to hear you lost your furni. At least you got one thing out of this, you probably won't fall for that scam again.

You should never give out your password. Passwords are there to make sure that you (the owner of the account) is the only one accessing it.

I'm sorry to hear you got scammed, and posting safety things like this on the forum is a good thing to tell all the other new Habbos or not saftey educated Habbos (normally young people) to watch out. Young people might not know the risk of giving out passwords is a bad thing, they think they might get something good out of these tricks, but ofcourse its a lie.

Now you know not to give your password out (and includes any other personal information about you or your account like your email address, Instant messenger, school, home address, etc), I suggest you make a password that is a mix of numbers and uper and lowercase letters and make it as long as possible, don't make a password easy to guess like your favourite colour or a word, it's safer to mix it all up and have it meaning nothing. Go to the "Help" section of the Habbo site and read all the safety stuff to keep your account safe from scammers and other ways to stay safe. =]
