You should also lend with collateral next time...or not lend at all. And 800k isn't little, you could do lots of things with 800k. I wish you luck in re-building your account ;)

800k? You're doing WAY better than me, but I still know hows it feels. How it feels to lose everything. You wanna give up, but you should take refuge in a storage account and make that your main. Good luck. ;)

I'll be your neofriend. When the site comes back up anyway.

Good luck getting your stuff back.
At least you can still trust your school friends that plays neopets too... :roll:


Not really...Oh the stories I've seen about real life "friends" having or getting hold of someone else's password and either taking over the account or taking everything out of it. It's a compelling argument for TNT's stance on sharing accounts being against the rules -- it almost always ends up with someone losing everything. And if you're playing on a public (school/library) computer, always log out and if you can, clear cookies. Lastly, no one should ever have your password to anything.

I'm really sorry for that, but if you just lend them to her, it's mainly your fault, its like lending avvy stuff without collat!

If a real life friend of mine ever scammed me...he's going to get panda eyes and a visit from the tooth faerie...lolx 8)

800k? I've only got a quarter of that! :o

I know that my real life friends would never scam my account, and anyone who thinks real-life friends would do that do not have very good real-life friends.

I'm sorry about what happened though. God luck in re-building your account.

you learned a valuable lesson but it had a very high cost. It'll take you less time to earn it back than a newbie since you know what to do and how to do it

Lol thank you all for your wonderful support- and i know i'm a FOOL to lend my battle dome items that have inflated... I can't seem to spell Hypno Helmet correctly, but the lsat time i saw it it was 10 million. :X
Honey potion infalted to 800k, but.. Money is money! :X

That 800k came from a donation actually; someone left and gave me 800k because she knew of my situation. Also she gave me a Flosset and an Ona to remember her. I miss her~ She was so kind :X.

She even helped me start the gallery :X

yes, never lend out sutff to anyone on neopets, especially stuff which you can't afford to lose. even if the borrower is a trusted neofriend, you must always take care to verify that they are the same person behind the screen not some scammer who has taken over the account.

I don't really think you can do anything.
Try and get more trustworthy friends on neopets.
Off topic: Welcome to PPT! I use to be the official fire faerie around here.
But the only things I have to say that I am fiery currently, is my pet AFireFaerie and my account orange_flames.
(Orange_Flames is the account I have my guild on)
I think I passed by your account once and thought, "How could someone with those pets desert their account???".

Hypno Helmet is now H4000 Helmet.

exactlly. I only have one RLF who knows my pw.....she's VERY trustworthy, and the only reason she knows it was once i wanted her to feed my pets while i was gone. (as i remember, the neolodge was being glitchy) Mind you, she forgot anyway. :lol:

And besides, if she DID do somthing to my acount....you can bet her mom would know asap. ;)

but seriouslly, if you don't trust your friends not to scam you or somthing....there probably not very good friends, if there gunna cheat you out of some virtual game, then just think of what theyll do in REAL life. :o


anyway, i'm sorry that person didn't give back those items. Some people can be very rude/mean. :x

welcome back to neopets! :D

^^ Thank you everyone. Adam; Thanks for telling me what the helmet was, i would of spent a whole day trying to find it; except i still can't find the worth so i'm just guessing it was a 6 million down pour. Sorry Adam to steal your title :X

Aw that sucks, thats why I don't trust anyone, I don't care who you are. I don't care how much collerteral you will give me, but I will never lend out any of my stuff, and heres some advice for you in the future: Never lend out anything. :) Have you reported her yet?
