marmota1512 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I should start by telling you that my cousins are staying with us for a couple of weeks since they have already finished their school years, and my cousin (who's a couple years younger than me and also plays neopets) asks me for a spare email account, so I give him one I use for school projects, etc... So, I was playing NQII, trying to level up before I go to sleep when all of a sudden the screen turns blank. I refresh the page and I have been logged out of neopets. So I try to log back in and a message appears saying my account has been frozen because I have cheated in flash games... I start freaking out and my cousin come's into my room telling me that he has gotten the same message. He then starts explaining that he was a little curious about this certain website because he has been hearing about it a lot recently, and with the email I gave him, he created an acc in that website's forum and a new neo account. And it turns out he downloaded this program that lets him send scores for games automatically, but he kinda went over the top with the scores and he got caught... Now everything I had in that account is lost and I'm never getting it back... but the thing is, I don't feel that depressed about this. I mean, I was really pissed when it happened but after a while I just accepted it, because on one side I wanted to stop playing. Since my side account didn't get frozen I'll try to build back up most of what I had, but I'll probably stop playing after a while... So yeah, thanks for reading my rant (this happened last night but I was too tired to write this...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartoon_dreamer Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Ugh!!! That's so awful. My brother did the same thing to me back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbell Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Man did he apologize? Is there any way to get it back? You can tell them exactly what you just told us and try to see what happens. It wasnt your fault, you didn't break any rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt your fault, you didn't break any rules. he did, but still, that won't get me my account back :c if i were you i'd whoop his butt ! why didnt u create a new email for him ??? I thought it was ok since the email I gave him isn't registered in any sites, and I read somewhere that TNT scans your IP address so I guess that's why my account was frozen too...

dawnshine Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 IDK how old your little cousin is but I hope he learns his lesson that cheating, even on a silly internet game like Neopets, is not okay and has consequences for people, in this case, other than himself. It's hard to be mad or hold a grudge over a game but personally I know I would be enraged. Submit a ticket, you could get lucky and at least get your pets and name back. I'm really sorry to hear about your luck though. I live in fear that one of these horror stories will happen to me one day, as it seems everyone gets hit at some point, either causing them to quit Neo or be bitter about rebuilding for a long while.

iceeys Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Sorry about your loss... sad to say the chances of you getting your account back are slim )= i wish you goodluck though !!!! (= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 YIKES. I probably wouldn't have given him my email in the first place. XP what kind of site was he downloading these programs from?? sounds fishy lol but on a positive note...he owes you BIG TIME now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ11 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Really sorry this happened to you but you learned something useful... few years ago I lent some money to a friend, not a big amount but I was shocked when they didnt seem to want to pay it back, it got a bit embarrasing and I knew they had the money now but didnt pay it back I confided in someone about it and they said ...'that lesson cost you that money but it could have cost you a lot more if you didnt find out what they were like now so it was a price worth paying. I think this has perhaps shown you something about your cousin...maybe they were young or thoughtless but they knew it was YOUR account they were using to sign up!! dawnshine and marmota1512 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Oh my goodness! Definitely submit a ticket. Always worth a shot. I know people don't want me to say this, but software like that is like a lighter...it's useful if it's used correctly. Controversial matters aside, I don't blame you if you decide not to rebuild. It's frustrating and draining. This post has been edited by a member of staff (Ruto) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please don't promote the use of cheating programs in any way.

WhiteWolf Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I agree with Novelista. Submitting a ticket is your best chance. In addition to the usual account retrieving info- Neofriends, listing of pets (including colors and names), safe deposit box items, gallery pages- you should give them a full explanation to what happened. Tell them what you told us. For what's worth, I've been hacked (and lost my Faerie Queen Doll) and found this method to be really solid for getting it back. Good luck!

Guest Sabs Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Omg, I'm sorry this happened to your account! x_x I really hope Neopets will be understanding if you submit a ticket. I would be devastated for awhile, so it's amazing that you've accepted the situation fast. I hope everything works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starstop_58 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Oh no I am so sorry this happened to you. I wish there was some way you can get it back maybe explain to them what happened. That is awful. This is why I have been scared of having a side account I am always afraid I well do something and get frozen. I hope you stay around though.

kaybee92 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I am so sorry this happened to you! My parents play Neopets and I always get a bit paranoid they'll do something silly and end up getting all of us iced. I'm sorry :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovedwallflower Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The same thing happened to me years ago.. my brother (though he denies it to this day) logged on to my 3-year account and did some highly illegit stuff. My account then got frozen and I got so bummed out I didn't play again for another year after that..But I've rebuilt since then... couldn't keep away :P I suggest taking a break for a while if you feel like you need it. Neopets isn't going anywhere :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'd be both furious and devastated - sounds stupid I know but I am exceptionally fond of my pets and have put a lot of work into that account... I know TNT don't repeal bans often...but it might be worth a ticket to them just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
