I have the worst of luck. I've always wanted a certain NC item and Neopets makes two items look almost identical except there's an extra word in the name. It was late at night and I was tired and there was 1 of the fakes on the TP and I accidently lost ~680k to a scam. I thought about reporting this person but I doubt TNT can refund me as this person probably already spent the NP. I was going to NM them but they come from Argentina and the only language I speak is English. I figure this Neopian person did it on purpose I really do they hope their lesson and it comes back to them. Scamming people is not cool. I'll pay more attention next time. Luckily it wasn't a scam in the millions like the ZDAP that I lost because I was being nice by loaning it out so new Neopians could get the avatar. You live. You learn. I'll get over it. Just be careful everyone. It's sad that there are so many scammers on Neopets.

    If the person was asking for 680k IT IS considered a scam according TNT own words. That shit use to happen a LOT with baby paint brush and the plushie version. That's why TNT changed the plushie version name. If the person was asking for that high price you should report. Of course, being the TNT what it is now... I wonder if they are even aware of the rules about this kind of stuff, but worth to try, maybe?

    As Lucille said, I used to buy Baby PB Plushies all the time and I would rage so hard when I realized what I had done, and TNT does consider that scamming, so I'd report them, for the fun of it if nothing else.

    I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one that this has happened to. I felt cheated afterwards. I'm not sure I remember the username. I know that TNT isn't going to give my NPs back but if I can find the name I'll be sure to report them or maybe I can have them investigate for me? You think they could dig up the username for me and investigate. I know they cut staff a bunch so I'm not sure if these types of things are something they would take time to look into.
