we seem to be getting a fair amount of scam reports through at the moment

please remember the rules of not doing trades outside the official routes is there to protect YOU

Admin and us as mods cannot get things back to you and by agreeing to trades such as i'll give you x item and y horse for your horse called z it puts both players in the wrong. the scammer for doing the scamming, the scammed player for going into the trade

Unfortunately in this world not everyone is honest and we do not like seeing these things happen

so to summarise
horse trades... don't do them
item trades.... use the item exchanges

don't trade horses for anything other than passes and equus.
this is for your own protection, while we do sypathise things happen if things are done how you are advised to scamming won't happen.

if someone offers you a trade please remind them that it's not allowed or send through as a pm report for us to deal with

Unfortunately this happened to me in my first few days playing and I lost my most valuable horse of the time, however as I was new I was feeling as though I would never be able progress in the game now. Days later, however, an extremely kind person told me how they had bought my horse from the scammer for its regular price and that they were willing to sell her back to me for 500e. So who ever you were, I would like to say a HUGE thank you!

Is there anywhere you can tell people about the exchanges that you've advertised on the item exchange page???

You can i believe ask people if they are looking for the Black Market if its on their page. So i have on my page that 'I'm looking for Pieces of Cloud' I believe if you want to swap you can PM myself. I believe that is inside the rules but generally you aren't allowed to send random mail to people as you can be reported depending on the player.

Hello,

Well, I have not rated this topic, so I do now.

● Since when in a scam to blame the fraudster and the defrauded? Because much what you say here is "by ambitious", "both are at fault," "will have well deserved it," ... I've never seen so much contempt for a victim.

● When you get the game you are asked EVERYWHERE passes, the key business (passes, passes, passes and more passes) ... and see beautiful horses around what they call "divine", "unicorn", "with apple gold "... Again Someone who is under so much pressure he can not be blamed if you will cheat.

● Now that I understand and support the game does not take care of this, since it is none of your business if left scam. But this does not justify all those people that in this post say that both are to blame ..

Finally, I ask tolerance, it's just my opinion default smiley (h)

The point is that trades are against the rules. By asking the victim to trade, the scammer has broken the rules. By accepting the trade and falling into the scammer's trap, the victim has also broken the rules. If you've been scammed as a result of rule breaking, do you really think those in charge would be particularly sympathetic?

Howrse is a free-to-play website. It is possible to become quite successful without the use of passes, however, Howrse still need to actually make money to keep the website running at a good standard. They're hardly pushy about it though and they're constantly putting up pass promotions so that you can get the most of your money! (Ex. I just caught a +1 UFO. If I was to go buy a pass right now, I'll get 2 for 1, see?) As for passes in terms of trading and scamming, I should probably direct you to this topic...

@KickingPixies.

You yes I agree. Of course I do not say that the swindled has no blame for anything, but it is clear that if there were crooks (or ambition) would not have cheated.

Now the new and young people the game (which most cheat) some are between 8 and 11 years, are children who begin barely handle Internet, they do not yet have a definite personality (so you call them "ambitious" seems a bit strong) and that like any other kid looking for the easy way.

Taking this into account, as I do not, I do not agree on all the blame and responsibility to a child, even if found warnings. Yes, of course they have the fault of being scammed by giving your password in part,

Anyway, this post is a warning that many do not read, not for who or what is worse is discussed. While there are ambitious people, there will be scammers.

Just to point out though, it's not always passwords that are involved in scams. Yes, that happens, but there are cases where players lose their best horses, such as in sky blue's case.

This post is primarily involved in those that transmit their passwords because of scams. If it is true that some scams are not trying to steal accounts, if not objects or other things of great value for the player, but this is not the case we speak.

Is not really referencing passwords, so that's not really true. I understand that yes there are often scams involved in password sharing and such. We just need to be careful and do as the rules say, which is don't do any illegal trades and don't share our passwords.

Its also not giving out crucial info that would aid a hacker in guessing/breaking your password. such as a pets name or something.

I noticed this new thing, it's sending links to websites for surveys. Already had a few messages and they basically say if you enter your user and password they will give you free passes. Like, right.

Reminds me of people saying they will take your horse and skill it and in 10 days sell it back to you. default smiley xd Like really. You may as well start your opening paragraph with 'THIS IS MAYBE/NOT A SCAM' default smiley xd

If you are going to do bad trades *which you do at your own risk) instead of doing the trade at 500 equals do it at a pass (if they have one) or a high amount of equals that they own making the having to send the horse through or they lose all their equals.default smiley 8-)

Or you could follow the rules and not do any illegal trades at all... The Exchanges and the horse sales are there for a reason, and any trade such as horse-for-horse trade is against the rules.

As I have stated I don't recommend this at all.

I am very sorry if I offended any players or admin. That wasn't my intention at all.

♡ I meet the original writer because she's one of my friends in the Spanish server. So I'm very sure they aren't the same person.

✧ And I remember that Pratt began a discussion in the forum when my friend gave her opinion because she wasn't agree with that....
