Scamming- here is a full conversation that usually goes on between scammers and their victims. I did this as a test to show you that scammers can do this in a number of ways. Do not believe this, it was a trick I played on a scammer, showing that I was interested in what he told me. I am *~*Rio*~*, and he is kenny9905. Please be careful, this is what happened.

What is this np thing you were talking about in the message board?
*~*Rio*~*
you can have 10000
i need to put it in your account
so i need your pa$$word and u$ername (he is asking for your password!!!!!!!!! NEVER give this out!)
I make up a new account, something like sugarbabe6900-this was a spur of the minute account I created, do not do this with your real account, ALWAYS do it with a new one
it is sugarbabe6900 and my password is babies
*~*Rio*~*
(so far he hasnt replied, I wonder whats keeping him?!)
have you done it yet?
*~*Rio*~*
(he still hasnt replied. Oops, I remember that I must activate my account- unfortunately I had made up an email address, so he cannot contact me or hack into that account!)
it did not work becauseyour
u$ername is *************
and what is your
pa$$word (like Im going to tell you that,mate and also surprise, surprise, it didnt work!)
it should have worked, my other account is sugarbabe6900
*~*Rio*~*
(he has noticed that there is no way Im giving out my real password, so I try and distract him with my other one)
I wanna get that money! U did say it was 100,000 didn’t you?
*~*Rio*~*
(I am now trying to distract him with thoughts of the money, he originally said 10,000 so I am trying to trick him even more)
IT DID NOT WORK BECAUSEYOUR U$ERNAME JELLYTOTSGIRL BUT WHAT IS YOUR PA$$WORD
DO YOU WANT MONEY
You idiot! I have known all along that you are a scammer, and I have pasted and copied the entire conversation, put it up on all the message boards and sent it to neopets. That is not my real name, I set up that account to try and trick you into hacking me. Your days at neopets are over. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
*~*Sarah*~* which is actually my real name. (its not, my real name is Rosie by the way!)
This guy was frozen from neopets. Dont do this, it was a trick I set up, and it worked! ALWAYS tell if you are getting asked for your password, you saw how close I got to having my starting fee of 200NP nicked! Good luck to all the hacker beaters out there, including myself, we are protecting neopets!
A note from webmaster, please note how the scammer spelling isn’t all that great 😉
