suspected scam in PM

Recommended Posts

As I was not sure how to report this, I post here:

 

About half a day ago, I received a PM form a board user I did not know, with an offer that seemed too generous. The message included a link, that in the message looked like a neopets.com url, but it took me to something that looked like the neopets login page. I thought this odd, as I was already logged in, and then noticed that the url was not neopets.com

 

I could not find a report button in the PM feature, therefore I report here.

 

I do not like to say the username at this time (because, though I am pretty sure it is a scam, I would not like to falsely accuse anyone publicly)

If requested by an admin, I will post (or PM) the username and/or the message.

While I am not a staff member I did hear of something similar to this on another board.

See this: http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?showtopic=8691

 

Did the same thing happen to you?

that was exactly what happened to me. Thank you for pointing the other thread out to me, I had been looking to see if someone else had reported this but dit not see that thread.

I am happy that I did not just fill out the login screen with my sleepy head, so my account is safe :-)

It's sad what some people try to do these days...

 

I wonder why there isn't a report button for PMs though?

This user has been banned about 3 times now. :P He/She shall never return, no worries.

 

I'll contact Mike about getting an IP Ban on that user.
