Reporting a fraud

That, my friends, is a scam site. Hes mocking the real site, http://www.habbohotel.co.uk, in hope that people will register with their real username, and real password. Then, he will use your password on the real habbo hotel uk, and steal your furniture.

This must be breaking the rules, somewhere?

Hmmm this is a serious thing, I don't know about Habbo can you only login to play on their site? He may not be able to see the people's passwords since it's a flash code.

Wait for a mod or admin to check this out.

EDIT: This site's been reported as a fraud site, though there was no real proof. There are no links from the main page to login to the page you gave. I dunno.

Yes, this is in voilation of the TOS, as it obviously violates copyright laws. Akkarin, he might have it set up to where it logs input to his site, allowing him to discover Habbo usernames and passwords. I might PM a mod or admin about this if none of them come within five minutes. Thanks for reporting this.


Edit: I just discussed this with him over MSN, he will have it down within 20 min.

This is serious, this site has been reported for fraud but I browsed the site and couldn't find anything, tell me Skream how did you get that link to that page?

I am a player of www.HabboHotel.ca. Someone on my habbo console, named "Curly", sent me a message advertising www.HabboHotel.es.tt as a Habbo Hotel site, with a new version, called Version 8. This is a very anticipated version, only released on www.HabboHotel.se, which supposedly will only let in Swedish IPs.

Working at Habbo help centres since 2001, I recognized this as a domain that Habbo has not registered, not a specific site for a country. So, at the bottom bar when I loaded this site, I noticed it was loading off of www.x10hosting.com. And I noticed at the top in the address bar, this : "http://www.night.x10hosting.com/koc_3/". Habbo hosts on its own servers, not paying for them on sites like this. And, being a member already of www.x10hosting.com, I decided to report.

EDIT : Curly was told this by another person, it wouldn't be his site.
Also, sorry for the double post.

Ok, I think a mod has either not seen this or they are looking into it. The site has no x10 ads does? Maybe the owner is a VIP user.

I've been PMed, so no worries. Although after they PMed me, I sent them the info in post # 5 of the thread, and they went offline.

 

[Akkarin]

Ok, it will be dealt with which is good news! I'm surprised this hasn't been seen before, since people's accounts are checked I believe but i dunno how thoroughly and regularly. Good Job Sherlock Holmes!

 

[Skream]

Hmm.. site shut down..

[/satisfaction]

It is all gone, thanks to me. I know why everything was like that, and why there were no links pointing to that page. If a mod or admin would like to know why the site had that, and why it has no links to that area of the site, I would be glad to let them know. I don't know about the ad thing, but I do know that the issue at hand was dealt with. In any event, thanks for reporting this.
