karmacow Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Yeah, that "tinyurl" thing in that other topic looked fishy to say the least. Sorry you got phished, but good thing you didn't have that much money on your account. You should always be very careful with that links you click.

Hoptotheloo Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Mmm When I read about some of you guys getting hacked I started putting pins on areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hmm yeah I told you to change your password but bah, they still got into your account huh? Sucks. Good luck re earning the neopoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I was thinking of putting pins, but I was too lazy. I have too many stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGGG Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Sorry to hear about that :( I'm rebuilding from my hack, and I hope it goes smoother for you than it did for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoeRan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yay, I got hacked too. :grrr: Lost 27 million and got left with a Sword of Skardsen, that went for a bid of 11,2 million. No idea how they got hold of the rest. I'm 100 percent sure I didn't fall for any scam. I didn't visit any shady site and didn't do anything weird and have a complicated password. There's something seriously wrong with Neopets security. It's very weird that they used a Sword of Skardsen which still has a value of over 10 million. Well I guess I lost only 17 million then.

karmacow Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Wait, they put a sword of skardsen on your account? Freaky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoeRan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This account has been FROZEN for the following reason: Due to potentially suspicious activity on this username, it has been frozen for the owner's protection. This can include falling for a scam or entering information into a fake login page. If you would like information on getting this account back, please contact us by clicking here. Sigh, what use is this by now after I changed my password and all and even sent a report about the hacking. Only more trouble for me. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You were probably frozen BECAUSE you sent a report about being 'hacked'. :sad01_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoeRan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You were probably frozen BECAUSE you sent a report about being 'hacked'. :sad01_anim: Sorry? -- Now that I think of it, perhaps I was able to change my password before they could transfer the Sword back. Seems logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I see a lot of people are being hacked and frozen. Neopets is no longer safe. We will have to close, and send the users home. <-- Harry Potter quote FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoeRan Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Anybody any idea how long it takes for Neopets to decide to give somebody his account back? Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KihOskh Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I also got hacked. I lost over 7 million np, a faerie paint brush, electric blue paint brush and white petpet paint brush. I have been saving up for more expensive stamps and now..... I can't believe that people do this. MAKE YOUR OWN NEOPOINTS !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Anybody any idea how long it takes for Neopets to decide to give somebody his account back? Sigh. That can take a couple of weeks, send in as many reports as possible and if they send back an automatically generated e-mail, just keep on asking your account back. They will give it eventually. If I were you, I would play on a side account for as long as they don't give the main back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Anybody any idea how long it takes for Neopets to decide to give somebody his account back? Sigh. Depends on a few things 1. When they recived it 2. When they respond to it 3. If they're busy, it'll take longer 4. If they're lazy, it'll take longer 5. If it's a certain mod, they might lie to you and not give you your account back because they're too busy or lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Man a lot of people sure aren't safe on neopets! I still remember when someone got onto my account and took 9 million from my bank and spent it on a Hidden Tower item :( (I didn't have the Fyora avatar from that place and it was on my list of avatars so yeah...) they froze my account for a week and then got it back though ^^ Good thing they didn't take any of my pets or I would've been even more upset.
