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!

Thats pretty weird. What is also weird is that someone (probably this guy) is inflating those scratchcards. I had mine in my shop for 15.5k (overpriced already) and they sold out and when I checked prices, they were up to 17k and now they are even higher.

yeah i know! if you didn't notice I raised the price half way in between :* so yeah I'm starting to think that its just a guy that has 20+ accounts and is inflating them some how to his advantage. since it seems that no one would go through the trouble to put 5+ cgers on different accounts just for my pitiful account :P

Report the coincedence, not as scammers but just so TNT can check things out. They are either trying to inflate the price or cg. I am leaning more towards inflate but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

It's probably inflating. I wouldn't worry too much about CGs and just give it 2-3 days and the prices will be back to normal - they should know there are some items that stock too much to inflate http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

That is just too strange! Maybe it's a bot. It's hard for me to believe that it's not just the peak o plenty but also the Eo codestone...too weird! And who can log in and out of an account that fast? I say report them, all of them. Send what you posted (sales history) to TNT. ~ Mimi ~ http://www.neopets.com/~Amyrilli

Yeah, I reported it already.
bolivisnsg | Thu, 03/06/2010 - 12:45pm |

I only have a few scratch cards in my shop but they also bought out my cards as well. I have reported all the users. Looking at their accounts there were all 3 days old and created on exactly the same day. Hopefully neopets will get this taken care of.
