   All my friend in the guild please beware there is a hacker about.

   I have lost virtually everything (1.4m NPs, paintbrushes, dubloons, codestones, maps, books and anything else good)!

   Someone using the email address neo_girl_123456@(edited for safety) hacked me, so please all be very careful.

   Not sure if I will carry on as this has really hit me hard. Neopets has become a bit of an obsession for me and to say I am depressed is putting it lightly.

   Just please all be careful.

   Fran edit: please don't list email addresses

   I believe someone got my cookie while I was searching the web for tips of pet page lookup editing.

   My account is now frozen.

   Y HALO THAR. i losted my tash, has u seen it round heer?

   

   This account has been FROZEN for the following reason:

   This previously inactive account was being accessed by someone other than the original owner.

   You should be able to get it back since attempting to login brings up that message. If you are Premium, by any chance, fill out the Premium frozen form. I know it's rough, but if you keep after TNT they will likely return your account.

   I hope you get it back, that's just rotten that these creeps ruin someone's fun.

   
   ahh
   ... i founds my tash!

   I hope you get your account back.

   My very first account was frozen that way. Annoying as HELL. Mainly because I was like, 100k away from getting my Draik Trans Potion. >____<

   Thanks for the tip Fran. I have submitted the form and now just keeping my fingers crossed. Just wish I knew how long it might be till I know one way or the other.

   No news yet. I guess they are not very active over the weekend, so hopefully in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed.

   As for what happened. All I can assume is a website I visited grabbed my Neopets cookie and from there they got my login id and password. They then changed my account email address so I did not get any messages and promptly took all my money from the bank and all my good items (codestones, paint brushes, dubloons, potions, etc).

   Best advise I can give it to make sure you have a psssword which is not easily guessable and you must make use of the pin number feature. With the pin even if someone gets into your account they could only get your current nps balance and currently held items.

    Good news everyone. I got my account back. TNT took a few bits from my current items but nothing too good. Never got my stolen stuff back but I am playing and out to get back where I was as quickly as I can.

    Thanks to everyone for their support and advise. You guys are the best.

    elcid42, so glad to hear that! I don't think TNT gets enough credit sometimes, they really do pull through for their users when their users are doing nothing wrong.
