1998zachary1998 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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.

Viridian Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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)// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaltes_bueffet Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.V. Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 They are super annnoying - but some of the videos are actually helpful ... like they have good tips on how to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamz Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 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.

Tyler. Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1998zachary1998 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 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 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 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 :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie * Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well, techinically its completely offsite and out of their hands. TNT can't go to Youtube and say "take that video down now!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 you could also try emailing youtube and they might take it down for you ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
