Should I be concerned?

Submitted by phrawst on Wed, 02/06/2010 - 4:49pm
I'm not sure how to explain this, but here it goes :P So I've seen quite a bit of sales today, and many of them from very similarly named accounts, all buying the same items. Like a fool, I clicked on a few of them not thinking and all of the accounts I looked at were all 'Newbie' status accounts. Here is the list of only the suspicious people: 02/06/2010 Peak O Plenty Scratchcard 802henry351 18,000 NP 02/06/2010 Peak O Plenty Scratchcard 284kamryn235 18,000 NP 02/06/2010 Peak O Plenty Scratchcard 967gabrielle015 18,000 NP 02/06/2010 Peak O Plenty Scratchcard 845kaley474 18,599 NP 02/06/2010 Peak O Plenty Scratchcard 147lewis748 18,599 NP notice how they all bought the same item and all had 3 numbers before and after their names? Should I be concerned about a possible CGer? or could this be the strangest coincidence ever? Come to think of it I may just be paranoid as I remember making a thread before about something in a hut. Sorry!

well, i double check some usernames on neo as well, some of them have already had their accounts frozen, but not all of them. I think its the same person, it can't be a strangest coincidence, 3 day old accounts, following by the same pattern doing these stuff.

ive been having the same thing happen in my shop. then today i get a neomail from a brand new account and all that it says is "it must be nice to have a million items in your shop" then they neomailed again and said maybe i will buy them all. strange things are truly happening on neo.

This is getting too strange, somebody is just trying to do something to mess it up (but i think somebody program some sort of bot) because who does have enough time to do all this

This would actually make a pretty smart way to cg lots of accounts-Make a lot of money with 1 account, spread it around a bunch of others so that they can buy like this, pool it all in one shop priced as cheap, then set a cg in the shop that everyone looking in to snipe those tons of cheap scratchcards/codestones. Usually when I think of Cgers, I think of someone who tries to get one expensive item, or even relatively cheap and price it really low to attract people to the shop, but this one could be even more discreet because, unless someone realized everything else inflated, his would seem to be at a competitive and cheap price, but not at the 1np price that sends off a red flag about a cger. *lol* I just realized how we often refer to CGers and hackers as He's *lol* ----------------------------- [color=green]NeoMallers.com [b]tent-free[/b] policy now in effect.

[color=grey]Just to say, I'd really advise against going to their UL's or shops-I would think they'd place a cg (Even if it's the exactly same cg coding) in all the accounts to grab anyone who thinks they're catching on.[/color] -------- [color=blue]I like cheese.[/color]

If I was going to report this as coincidence I would use this form. http://www.neopets.com/s/report_form.phtml?track_cat_id=7&item_id=304&track_start_point_id=97 Explaining that it is just something you noticed. It does take them forever to respond back if at all. So do not be surprised if you get an auto generated message or nothing using this form. Maybe someone can recommend a different one I did not use.
