You hear of scheming, cruel, horrible hackers alot here on stardoll, but you can never feel the anger and hate until you have been hacked yourself, and this, unfortunately, happened to me today. I will tell you what happened, following by some (hopefully) helpful tips to prevent ever getting hacked.
Everything was fine, chatting to friends, replying to mail and guestbook comments when I recieved a kind offer from a girl named Shannypop. Here is the whole conversation we had:

As you can see, she fooled me big time and I was stupid enough to fall for it. She has stolen, lied and cheated me and probably has not one thing on her concious. It has happened to me once, but will not happen again.

Remember all you hackers, stealing an account on stardoll is like stealing money from someone. They have topped up many times, almost all people on stardoll's suites have cost them over $100 so stealing an account, is as equal as stealing $100+ from someone's pocket. Stealing someone's clothes is almost equal as stealing clothes from a clothing store.. It may not be as expensive, but it is still stealing. Remember this, hackers.. You all are real life theives and I would stop now.
1. If you recieve a mail such as, 'I can get you free stardollars just give me your pass' or something along them lines.. It isn't true!
2. If you believe this person (even though you shouldn't because it is a pile of crap) then, create a new account, keep it non-superstar, dont even buy stuff and give the person the password to that account and you will then see if it works. If it gains no stardollars or becomes hacked, you know it's false. (like it 100% is.)
3. NEVER give out your password to anybody. (Exceptions to 100% trustworthy bffs.)
4. If you are trading or buying off someone with giftcodes, ask some friends or check lists of accounts or clubs to see if the person you are trading or buying off is safe.
5. Be safe, not sorry! Think before you type ;)
