Something really strange has just happened...
Sat Feb 11, 2006 12:35 am
Okay, I just logged into my account to find a Wet Snowball wand that I didn't have before in my Items.
Now a couple of days ago I offered one of my neofriends 2000NP and a small metal shield for two snowball wands and a selection of snowballs on the trading post.
The trade is gone, my shield is gone and the NP have not been returned. What Happened?

Is it possible you might have taken a "snowball" from the Snowager and not noticed that it was in fact a Snowball Wand?

no, I gave up going to the snowager because he ALWAYS blasts me 
When I logged off the day before, I had the Item I was trading with (small metal sheild) in my items! Now it has dissapered without a trace and the lot I bid on is no longer there.
The only thing that I think could have happened, and I really do hope this didn't happen, is that someone gained access to my account!

Is the shield the only thing that's missing? It seems strange that a scammer would only steal something as small as that. Perhaps you missed an RE where you get something stolen (I miss REs all the time). Hmmm.

All of my really valuable stuff is protected by the PIN. But to me it is like my friend accepted my bid while I was offline, then between then and the time I got back online someone took only one snowball wand and six snowballs and deleted the event to say that my bid was accepted.
There would not have been a random event I had missed because I logged in and went straight to my items which was when I found the wand.
I think I might NM my friend to see if she recieved the shield and money.
The shield could not have been stolen by a RE because it was (trading) I have not had the money I offered on the trade returned to me either. I have not given my PW out to anyone. I had logged out but the only other people who use my computer are my sister and my boyfriend anyway. I have changed my PW just in case.
This whole situation is really bizarre, are there still cookie grabbers out there?

The TP has been glitchy off and on since Friday. People have complained that they got no notification of a completed trade and that items/np have never reached the other person.
You could file a bug report, though I don't know that TNT will replace what you and your friend lost.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. My friend actually recieved her items because I neomailed her and I only recieved the first item from her trade. I'm not bothered by what I lost, I was just confused. I think i'll stay away from the trading post for a while.
And no, I didn't play Snow wars. My friend confirmed that she had accepted my trade. Thanks again

Okay, Something Really NICE!! but strange has happened today. I logged out this morning with about two thousand Neopoints and when I logged this afternoon I had almost 100,000 Neopoints to hand. How can this happen, I can't find any evidence of where this large amount of NP has come from.
Please Help, all this unexplained phenomena is making me feel paranoid about the integrity of my account.

Were you entered in any contests, or the lottery? Or did you recently bid on an auction or offer on a trade?
Also, I assume you've been changing your password regularly, so... I'm really confused, too.

WOW!! I did win the lottery! 
I didn't think to check because I assumed that people got the gold trophy when they won the Lottery 
Plus I never buy the tickets, I get them from dice-a-roo. Sorry, and thank you again!!
