Youtube

Okay I was looking at youtube. I wanted to try Hannah and the pirate caves because people in school play that game and it looks like fun, but the game has different levels, so I went to see how each level is played and how to beat each level. So on youtube I posted neopets. I came across very bad cheating where people ask for your username and password to email it to them. Is there a way to report these. If it is okay with the moderators I will post the link so more people can report it. I did report the link to TNT but they don't reply back.

Yup.. Seen those.

 

I don't think there is. I've seen many scammy for neopets and stuff but you cannot actually point them out and have TNT listen to you.

Can't you just send them an email (via their contact me page) and just put the links in there.

 

Of course theres not really anything they can do unless they know who is making the videos (neo user name)//

[kaltes_bueffet]

Hmm.. You could report the videos on Youtube by yourself, but there are many. Another possibilty would be, that TnT write a message to Youtube, that they should remove all Neopets hacks related videos.

Ergh, the number of scammers out there are limitless. As soon as you report one, 5 others pop up :/...an unending cycle *sighs*. We just have to watch out for them ourselves I guess :)

 

And don't join any offsite links from neopets.

Once I joined one just by giving my e-mail and typing in a DIFFERENT password than the one I had on neopets and a different one than my e-mail, yet somehow, they still managed to hack in and steal 100k off of me. :/

I've seen about 12 of those. When I sign on to youtube, someone tries to hand me cheats for everything, neopets, other games, and so on.

[stephie23]

They are super annnoying - but some of the videos are actually helpful ... like they have good tips on how to play the game.

I have no idea how or if neo can stop offsite abuse but have hear of cases where they hve taced the neo accounts of the wrongdoers and frozen them. wen you go to the 'contact us' link at the bottom of the page there is an option in the report abuse form for reporting someting that you have seen offsite.

I've seen those! and on a game reviewing site I saw scammers asking for usernames and passwords on the boards for neopets:the darkest faerie (awesome game)

[1998zachary1998]

I don't know if this is true, but I heard if people have a grudge against another user, they use their username (claim to be that person) then post on other sites asking for username and password posing as them only hoping they will be frozen.

[stephie23]

oh wow. I really hope thats not true! :( that would be super aweful. and it makes it waaaay harder for TNT to sort out who's guilty and who's not :(

[antiaircraft]

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that technically this issue would be up to Youtube's administration to handle (i.e. report scammers on Youtube). :yes: If they're smart, the admins could actually coordinate with TNT and do some IP matching automagic to track down the culprits.

 

I don't know if this is true, but I heard if people have a grudge against another user, they use their username (claim to be that person) then post on other sites asking for username and password posing as them only hoping they will be frozen.

One word: lame.

 

Seriously. Just plain scamming is pathetic enough...

[Jamie *]

Well, techinically its completely offsite and out of their hands. TNT can't go to Youtube and say "take that video down now!".

[stephie23]

you could also try emailing youtube and they might take it down for you ...
