paperdoll66 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is anyone else having this problem? I did change my password and PIN, but I think it might be some kind of browser issue. I'm using Google Chrome. It happened at several different shops, buying completely unrelated items, all pretty much at the same time. I'm going to submit a ticket, but I was curious if it was happening to anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca~ Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've heard some talk on the neoboard about cookie grabbing things going on in shops, but I don't know if it's true or not. Regardless, definitely send in a report about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's a new way to scam people... falling for a fake login page. If you don't enter your info in the form, you are safe. Mouseykins and Rebecca~ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_blubo Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 If you don't enter your info in the form, you are safe. Even so, I would still change your info if you ever get directed to one of these sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll66 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I don't think I explained myself very well. (I have a fever, and it is seriously messing with my coherency.) I'm 99% sure there was nothing wrong with any of the shops. ScriptSafe didn't have anything weird, and I checked the coding myself. It happened in five shops all within one minute of each other. I think it is probably some sort of Neopets glitch and not cheaters. I mostly changed my password out of paranoia, and I knew that it would be suggested.

deboratibi Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This happened to me as well, I think. I clicked on a 10np item (it was nothing special, just a "Yellow Chomby Model Kit"), and I was redirected to a Neopets page warning me about scammers. It didn't show a login form, or anything. I went back and refreshed the shop and I was able to purchase the item. I didn't worry too much about this, but I changed my password now, just in case.PS: By the way, I also use Google Chrome.

pheddy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've been using Firefox and the same thing has been happening to me. I have been going for the rubbish avatar so I go to a lot of shops and buy a lot of 1 NP items. A few time on the 7th one it will inform me that the shop was trying to scam me. I think its some sort of virus that I got lol either that or Neopets is being super cautious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 AFAIK, according to HC, it's going around - be careful. It's not a virus. It's the latest attempt at phishing. Get a script blocker so it won't redirect without your consent, and of course, make sure the URL is strictly neopets.com if you need to login. The last I heard, they are targeting just that - 1 np snipes. Rebecca~, Xepha and deboratibi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
