PLEASE HELP!
Please help!!! I logged in today to find a few random items in my inventory that weren't suppose to be there, and 2 of my favorite pets were gone and have now been adopted by 2 different other players!!!!! Who do I contact to get my pets back??! Everything seems to be in my shop still. Everything else seems to be in my gallery and SDB. All I truly want is my two prized pets back!!! Please someone help! Those pets were truly my whole game to me. I am devastated. How do i get them back?? My two pets were flaming_darkness1 the UNCONVERTED Faerie Lenny and tinkle_lil_star my very first neopets pet, the Plushie Poogle. I am crying, I don't know who to contact or what to do!

send in a report. did you have it set to where there was a pin needed in order for your pets not to be pounded/transferred? and in all honesty you probably won't get the pets back. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

sounds like you were hacked =( change your password, set pins, and then neomail the users that now have your pets. they might give them back, but they don't have to. they may have been innocent in the entire thing. be thankful your shop and nps were left alone! Neggs, Maps, and more

I changed my password & pin immediately. yeah, I did have everything set. This is such a bummer for me. I neomailed both the new owners, and I am praying they are understanding and give me my pets back. I am shaking I am so upset.

Sorry to hear this happened to you. You should also change the password of your email, in case that was compromised too. That seems to be what is happening with some people. Good luck getting your pets back. I've seen several people get their pets back after their accounts were compromised, so hopefully you can too. Good luck.

Yes, it could have been a lot worse... And I checked my email for the account and there in my trash was the request for the password, and the request for the pin. UGH. So not only did my neopets account get hacked, but my EMAIL did as well! So now i feel COMPLETELY violated!! I have a lot of personal stuff in my email that those people could have just read through!! So disturbing. And they could even cover their tracks completely and delete the emails in my trash?!? I created a whole new email, but I still feel like everything I do is being watched, and that even my email isnt safe now! When they send you a new password or a pin recovery Neopets should ask you a security question that cannot be hacked!! Like "What is your mother's maiden name" or something like that!! They seriously need to step up a security a notch, because it is a continuous problem. They just willy-nilly send out your pin if you know your password, which OBVIOUSLY has already been hacked since they got that far!! I know it is just a game, and it could have been a lot worse so I am counting my blessings for that, but I still feel like neopets needs to have a better look out for the honest players out there.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you! I was also just hacked & frozen so I know how you feel. Make sure you take down all the important info you can RIGHT NOW b/c most likely after you send a report, you WILL be frozen. You need to have all your info to get your account back...write down neofriends usernames, all the stock you have, recent trades/auctions, what items you have equipped to your pets, recent nms (names of users & conversations topics), names of pets YOU created, names of pets you abandoned & anything else you can think of that will show that it's YOUR account (aka information that not everyone can get). I really do hope these users understand and give you your pets back. Again, from the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry this has happened to you...

Newest update: The new owner of Tinkle_lil_moon has agreed to give her back!!! So at least one of my precious pets will be returned to me. I am still crossing my fingers to Flaming_darkness1, but at least some of my faith in Neopet players has been returned to me.

Just the other day I was thinking that I needed to do a new update on my account info in case something like this occurred. Wish I would have followed my instincts and jotted down everything then... but you always think "that will never happen to me". But now I'm going to be a trillion times more careful with my account.

I am truly heartbroken. The person who adoped flaming_darkness1 (username ngable42513) made a thread to trade my precious pet!!!! And no matter how much i beg him, and ask for his kindness, and tell him I will made ANY pet he desires to get my pet back, he is totally cold and uncaring. How can people be so cruel! Yes, this is just a game, so give me my pet back!!! I am at a completely loss, and feel so betrayed an hurt. I'm sorry I just needed to rant my frustration and pain. None of my friends understand the devastation I feel, so i feel like I have no one to vent to who can understand. I miss my pet so much, and I just want her back. Ugh, I am so frustrated that this happened. And that there are people in this world who are truly uncaring and are so evil and mean. I just want to scream at the top of my lungs!
