Vixensykerd Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I just got a message from somebody or other (I didn't take note) on TDN forums saying one of those stupid "I can get you a billion million neopoints" etc. I click on the message to report it, and it dissappeared. Does this mean TDN have already taken it down and banned the user, or have I been CG'ed. I didn't click on any outside links. Anyway, if I have - what can I do to stop him quickly! (Its only just happened) I've logged out of neopets and cleared my cookies, is this enough? Scared lol! Quote
Xepha Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I have banned this member and deleted all the private messages that he sent. Here is your explantion ;) We are all safer now! As a reminder to everybody who is reading this, never click any links or follow any instructions that promise you items, nps or any super mega cool things. It's always a scam! Quote
Vixensykerd Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 Yay! I can log back into neopets :) Still, any info on how to kick out CG'ed :D Quote
Viridian Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 That's not CGing, that's just asking for someone's username and password. Sad thing is that the PM will also show up in the e-mail about the PM, so people can still follow the instructions. Quote
Vixensykerd Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 oh ace. I didn't read it, I just saw the helleity of it lol. "I can make you really really rich, all you have to do is..." - alas! Theres always a catch ;) Quote
Spritzie Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I didn't think about it being in people's emails. I have the email notifications turned off, so I didn't even think of that. That would not be good at all. I hope no one decides to try it. Quote
Ashbash Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I think most people would know that it isn't something they should try. I would hope so anyways. Quote
Hannah B. Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah I saw that this morning and immediately reported it. Definitely some sketchy dealings, I checked this person's profile and they had joined like 10 minutes prior to sending me the message :rolleyes_anim: I really hope no one tries it, because it's just nonsense. Silly scammers! Quote
Secre Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 If it helps. they're neopets account has also been banned. I checked. Quote
Mouseykins Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Well that's good that thier neopets account has been frozen. We don't need people like that around here risking our security. I'm glad this was dealt with quickly by both TDN and TNT! Quote
