..Scam Prevention..
1. Do not fall for anything like this "Buy something from my shop worth 10k or more and I`ll send you any kind of paintbrush". If they want 10k they should first put it in their trades to make sure they have it.
2. When you are redirected to a Sign-up page, but the URL isn`t neopets.com, do not put in your username and password. You are actually sending the hacker the information they need.
