A Scam and Prevention

I met somebody on Whyville the other day. She was saying something about building houses for Whyville. Then she asked for my password so she could register me. She said it was a job. This happened at the Sportplatz at 9:24. Beware!

Hi, this is Sonner on information on what to do if someone has hacked you. Here are some pointers you might want to know.

To prevent being hacked permanently, be sure to put the right parental e-mail address down when you first register your account. Also put down your own. Hackers cannot change the parent e-mail address, but they can change your own address, so if you get hacked, have the password sent to your parents' e-mail address.

Also, if you're hacked, once you get back in, be sure to change your password. To be careful, enter in your own e-mail address again, to make sure the hacker didn't change it to his own e-mail.
