    I got this neomail a few minutes ago
    that's obviously a fake login page
    so I laughed my ass off and reported them

    but as a warning be sure to carefully check links that others send you....

    Haha, and "neopets" isn't even spelled right. Laaaaame! It almost irritates me how stupid people are for thinking they can fool certain people with that crap. *Shakes head*

    Thanks for the warning. :)

    I think that's because neopets owns all the domain that are neopets.something

    Wow, someone managed to get a Neopets.-something- domain? I thought Neo was gaining a monopoly of everything Neopets.
    Thanks for informing us about the scam, though. :3 I'll keep a lookout for messages like that.

    Or someone who's too naively innocent to suspect that people might be out trying to scam them. XD

    ...Okay, I'm getting the feeling I'm diverting from the topic again.

    Neopets.biz/freebies leads you right to the real neopets freebies page (as would neopets.org, .net, etc) Then they stuck in their own URL for the krawk shop, which is nOEpets.biz. I guess the .biz is their cover-up. It's actually pretty clever. o_O I didn't realize any of that until you said something about them getting a neopets domain. :eek:

    Not that any of that matters. >.<

    It sucks.

    I fell for one years ago, when I was younger and naive. Or I thought it was a scam but maybe wasn't. But either way, I got nervous and I managed to change my password really quick just in case, and I've had the same account ever since. :p
