How to Identify a Scammer by ajrcz

How to identify a scammer

Unfortunately, there are plenty of scammers in Neopia. And I was unfortunate enough to run into some of these people, but luckily I didn’t get scammed. Sometimes in shops: If the here icon to report the shop is right next to the username, it’s a scam. And sometimes people will scam you by neomail. Chain letters aren’t as bad a scam though, as ones directly asking for your password. Remember: Neopets will never ask for your password via e-mail OR neomail. One scammer I met couldn’t even spell Faerie right…*shakes head* Remember that Neopets can also spell it’s own words. Also, sometimes it’s good to put two and two together to see if you’re being scammed. One time, I put one of my rarest items up for trade. Then, I got a neomail asking for my username and password from contests2000, who is now frozen. Here’s the two and two together: I had a rare item up for trade, and I got a neomail asking for my username and password. Remember to be careful, but have fun too! – ajrcz@allways.net

Shapeshifter Guide by Chibi

In a nutshell:
1) You start with a 3×3 plane.
2) Change all of the objects on the plane to swords.
3) Use the Tetris pieces you are given to change other objects into swords.
4) When all of them becomes swords at the same time, you move on to the next round.

Example – X are swords, O are goblets.
OXX
OOX
OXX
You need to change the O’s into X’s to get to the next round!

Below you have a ‘Tetris’ piece like this – H is a random letter I used.
H
HH
H
Place the vertical H on top of the O’s, and they’ll change to X’s!

But if you have this:
H
HH

You’ll be stuck with this:

Scammed: A True Story

Before I start, I would like to point out that this occurred to a friend of mine on the 6/4/2002. She lost 1 million neopoints which she spent over 7 months making. Fortunately, she was able to make a copy of the chat and send it to me so I can warn everyone out here. In no way has this conversation been edited. I have simply make comments here and there. My friends name here will be AEbeautychick02.

BabyBlue12988: hiyaz
BabyBlue12988: congrats on ur account
BabyBlue12988: My username is gucci_mama and i have 60 mill
BabyBlue12988: please dont tell anyone that lol

BabyBlue12988 contacted AEbeautychick02 straight after she posted on the NeoChat about her 1 million. This first giveaway about this scammer is contacting AEbeautychick02 straight away after her post. Suspicious.
