If you want to stay safe on Habbo, make sure you follow the simple rules below:
1) Official Habbo Fansites for the UK Hotel can be found Here. These sites are backed by Habbo UK and are theoretically the safest Fansites to visit. However, there are many other Habbo Fansites, and some of these may be potentially dangerous. It is best to stay away from sites that you haven't heard of, or that other Habbos have told you to go on as viruses can be lurking, ready to strike. It is best to make sure a site and ask around before you go on it.
2) Never give personal information to anyone you meet.
This includes: Your full name, address, phone numbers, photos and school name. You don't know what kind of people could be out there, and it's better to be safe than sorry!
3) Always keep your Guard up! If you think your being harassed or in danger, then you can always press the Blue Question which is in the Bottom Right Hand corner of the Client. This is called the Call for Help, (CFH for short), and will put you in contact with a Habbo Moderator, who will assess the situation and deal with the problem.
4) Never belive in what other Habbos may say! For example:
- "DOUBLE YOUR FURNITURE COME TO MY ROOM AND DROP WHAT YOU WANT DOUBLED"
In your dreams! If it did work then why would you be asking habbos for their furniture surely you would be rich on your own. There is no way to simply 'Double your furni'! This is a scam, an the other user will simply keep your furni.
- "DICE RIGGERS CAN ALTER HOLODICES AND YOU CAN WIN AT CASINOS"
If you visit these sites, then you will most probably end up with a keylogger, which can be potentially dangerous! There is no such thing as a 'Dice Rigger' and there is no surefire way to win, in casino. It is down to luck.
- "BET AND WIN 3x"
Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, then it is probably just that. If the odds are big, then the odds that you will be scammed are also very high!
- "SHOUT YOUR PASSWORD IT COMES UP LIKE THIS ******"
Oops, it came up as my password now I'm going to be hacked and lose all my furniture, account and credits. This is a scam and your pass will never come out like *****!
- "GO TO MY SITE GET FREE MOD TOOLS"
These are illegal and called Retros! These types of sites are full of keyloggers. Why would habbos want to give you free illegal stuff? Exactly. You'll be hacked before you know it.
- 'P2S (Pay to stay), KIK (Kick) , REV (Revenge)?"
Kick! Chances are it's a scam, and even if you do win you probably donated more then you did. Play it safe. So even if you lose you lose nothing and gain some fun! If you do want to play, make sure you check out the owner and make sure you don't bet what you can't loose!
- "PAY ME ONE FURNI TO MOVE FROM DOORWAY!"
Door blockers can be annoying. But don't let them win, click on the blue question mark, report it and before you know it they'll be kicked by a Moderator. If the Moderator is busy, then simply ignore him, and he will get bored and leave!
- "I'M STAFF GIVE ME ALL YOUR FURNI, PASSWORD, CREDITS, E-MAIL & ACCOUNT"
Staff will never ask for your furni, password, credits, e-mail and account! Staff can always be recognised by the Golden Habbo Staff badge which they wear, and if they are not wearing it, simply ask politely to see it and they will reveal it, and if they don't then they are imposters!
-"SHARE FURNI WITH ME, WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN ROOM"
Too risky! These habbos take your furniture and don't give it back! Make your own room by yourself and if you must share just connect both of your rooms by teleporters.
- "TYPE THIS NUMBER, DIAL THESE CODES AND YOU'LL GET YOURSELF FREE CREDITS."
Please do you think I'm stupid. :iamwithst
First of all the call could be international and charge me heaps. Second of all why would I want to type your codes while I could type my own and get myself free credits? I can get my code by clicking on my purse then clicking on the link provided. I can also check what ways of buying credits is available from where I live so I can get my credits the cheapest way, by going on: www.habbo.co.uk/credits
- "ARE THERE ANY HABBOS OUT THERE WHO HAVE WEBCAMS?"
Keyloggers can be sent via webcams. Anyway, I think you deserve your privacy, don't you? You don't know who is out there, and see me on cam, could really mean, dirty old man! It will show your e-mail address as well.
- "MY TELEPORTERS ARE LINKING!"
Are they? Prove it. If they run off... they're scammers! Make sure you plan a visit to their room so they can drop the teleporters down and test it. If the test is sucessful they pick it up and then you trade for it.
"I CAN SEND YOU AN E-MAIL CONTAINING A SECRET STAFF APPLICATION!"
The only way you can apply to get a job on Habbo is to visit the following site: www.sulake.com/careers/open_positions?navi=5.2 However, there are stipulations, for example you have to be over 18 years of age.
