1. Never tell anyone your password, or change anything on your account, even if you are asked to. If they say they will give you items, neopoints, codestones, etc. dont believe them. Also dont to tell your siblings or friends ( real life ones or Neofriends ). The Neopets Team will never ask you for your password.
2. If you suspect anyone of being a scammer report them immediately by email to Abuse@NeoPets.com – especially if they keep asking for your password.
3. Always change your NeoPets password at least a once a month. Also try to keep it in the Number(s)-Word-Number(s) or Word-Number(s)-Word format or another fancy format thats pretty easy to remember, or you can use the password generator on http://www.winguides.com/security/password.php, which is pretty much unbreakable. Examples drespu5p, fake456password.
4. Dont enter your NeoPets password and Username on a fake login page. It IS easy to tell, just check your active neopet, to see if it is right.
5. If someone tells you to change your email in your User Information, do not do it. Once you do it they can get your password by putting your Username in the I forgot my password box on the login page.
6. Dont hire a NeoSitter when you go on vacation or hiatus. Instead send your pet(s) to the Neolodge. The NeoSitter is most likely a Scammer or will steal your account.
7. If a price in a shop looks to good to be true and when you click on it your sent to login page its a scam. Believe me I fell for that one when I was starting out.
8. If someone asks to share their account with you if you share with them, say no and report them. UNLESS theyre your real life friend or a good NeoFriend then just say no.
9. You will get frozen for having shop contests, or advertising on the NeoBoards.
10. You will get frozen for swearing ANYWHERE on the site.
12. Do not be fooled by people sending you Neomails saying that you have won a competition. Any TRUE competitions will be reported in the NEWS section of the front page.
13. There is NO way to make NPs quickly, it requires WORK.
14. Dont fall for adverts on the boards that say if you buy an item from their shop they will send you an item in two hours, because they transfer the nps to another account and when Neopets freezes them, they get off scot free.
15. Make sure you keep up to date with the email address on your profile because if you ever get a new email account, and you forget your neopets password, you cant get into your account because the “forgotten your password” form box will not work.
16. If you accidentally break these rules, explain to neopets on this page : http://www.neopets.com/autoform_other.phtml?other=frozen, and they may unfreeze your account if you contact them about it.
17. Trojans, and things in that vein are illegal and the police can arrest you for it. Trojans are like viruses, they sneak onto your PC in programs that normally have been downloaded off the net, and sometimes copy every letter you type, and send it to someone else; this type is called a keylogger, and is an invasion of your privacy. If you know someone that gives out keyloggers, report them to an adult, and they can be arrested. – abn
