Don't be fooled!

[Spite]

There are quite a few noobs out there that think they can scam someone. The most common scams are PB's.
For example:
Starry Paint Brush Plushie
Notice the 'Plushie' part of the name. Make sure you aren't being fooled. Another common scam is the 'uber rare' trick.
For example:
Whoot Necklace
This item can be bought in most users shops for about 2k while the estimated price is 80k. Some try to sell it for 80k on the trading boards. There are many others. But just try not to be caught out.
Oh, and the Stone, Ice, Jelly and Unicorn (rarely seen) brushes can no longer be used either, so don't buy them unless you collect them. Good luck.

POST THIS ON CUTENEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

World Challenges are not functioning. It seems that World Challenges are not functioning correctly, and as a result, people are losing their neopoints when attempting to enter the challenges. We suggest simply avoiding them at the moment, as there's the large potential of losing NP.


Cookies grabbers are also on the loose! A hole has been found in the new HTML filters, and malicious users have been putting cookie grabbers on their userlookups. We highly suggest avoiding userlookups, shops, and guilds until TNT has patched the problem! (Only visit those places if you know they belong to a close friend!) If it's seems too good to be true, it probably is a trick to get you into a user editable area and get you CGed. So, think before you do anything.


What is a cookie grabber?
A cookie grabber does exactly what it's named. It grabs the cookies on your computer that store your login information for Neopets (and other websites). The person stealing your cookies can then use your cookies to gain access to your Neopets account (and more seriously online bank accounts, etc.) and do all sorts of damage.

JN also highly suggests applying a PIN number to ALL areas of the site until this fiasco has passed. If you think that your cookies have been stolen, change your password immediately and apply a PIN number to your account.

Here is another one, yet very easy to know its a scam. A trade may have a cruddy item but the user beggs for better items and promises to pay over time. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

And, many try to get a boyfriend/girlfriend like this, often a scam too.
