So how exactly does this scam work? I mean... what does he do? Ask for your pw to verify your NP?

No, he is asking people to post how much neopoints they have, saying they'll get a "prize". I'm sure he knows how to hack, just doesn't know who to hack.

I've seen those types of topics on the chats it seems forever. Whether it's a potential scam or plain noseyness, the best thing is to just pass that post by. I used to go on those and say none of your business, or something like that, but now? Like I say, I just keep going.

Same for people who post looking for specific painted pets, you know, those All (put pet species/color here) post here and inside will usually say it's either a guild contest (which are against the rules) or they just want to see the pet. I just don't trust those either. If it's a "I just want to see" I direct them nicely (honest!) to the rainbow pool.
