Just a reminder: If you're at all wary of giving out this info, don't. Anyone can read this poll.
I am still confused why people are so hesitant to give out their usernames/how much np they have etc. It's not as if that is the only way to be targeted by scammers. They can always target those who have expensive items on trade. Plus if you are careful not to give out your password, it is quit impossible to get scammed, right?
Mmm, well, you see, not everyone is as careful as that, or know how many scams there are out there. The "Oops, you got logged out" scam was pretty effective, for example. They didn't realise that they were giving out their password, they simply thought they were getting logged back into Neopets.
Posting about your wealth does make you a target for scamming, hacking, or whatever it is (never knew correct term). It doesn't mean to say that you are going to have all your money stolen from you, but it does mean that you are putting yourself at a higher risk than if you didn't say what you have.
