Password Scams Several people are trying to trick you into giving them your password, claiming to have "Neopoint Generators" or to have found a bug in the Neopets system, just put in your password and you'll get something. These are ALL tricks. Never give your password to anyone, if you do, you are just handing them your account on a plate and they can do anything they want to with it. Shop Scams Lately people have been trying to trick others into buying items from their shops in return for 'secrets' and contest entries. This is just a scam to get you to buy over-priced items. There are no secrets to making NP fast, anyone found to have a scam in their shop will have their shop deleted and account frozen.
Chain Letters
NeoPets will not ask you to pass any messages onto anyone else. We
will not be rewarding you with Neggs or anything else. If you receive any
such Neomail, simply delete it.
Email Scams
The latest trick is to try to make you change your email address to win a prize, or to change
your password to something simple such as 'gohans'.
Do not do this, if you do, that person will be able to get your password and gain
entry to your account. Remember, no NeoPets staff will EVER ask for your password.
If you receive any such messages, please
forward them to abuse@neopets.com.
Fake Staff
Remember that NO MEMBER OF STAFF will ever ask for your password, and no member
of staff will ever contact you through NeoMail, except theneopetsteam.
Warnings are the only thing that will be sent from theneopetsteam account, these
will say what you were doing wrong, and WILL NOT ask for your password.
If anyone does NeoMail or Email you requesting your password, please report it immediately to
abuse@neopets.com.
Fake Login Pages/ Items
Some people have been putting fake items into their shop. When you
click on the item and press 'yes' you wish to buy, you get re-directed to a
page that appears to be a NeoPets login screen. If you look closely at the
Url it is not actually a NeoPets site, but a scam to try to get your password.
If you notice any shops that do this, please
forward them to abuse@neopets.com.
