i want everyone on hereto be careful who to give pws out to my friend knows about this site and he knew me or him couldnt get badge i dont know how long ago anyway i asked on here for help and i gave his pw and that out to this person yes they got b adge but they also gifted themselves gift albums on pogo as he had his credit card number on pogo (he dont now) now this person is saying that i gifted them to him which is a lie and he knows this as well but what can we do but put it down to experience i know this persons screen name (which i wont post here) but if anyone can help me find out who they are please pm me. They answer when he sends then messages but not me so they know they did wrong
Just to warn anyone out there and also this person must have been on here a long time as i dont just trust anyone to get badges if they had a low time on here or low posting they wld neevr have got details
If the person who stole from your friend was a member here you might want to speak to Homer privately about this so he can advise you accordingly.
I have only asked one person here to get a badge for me and it wasn't before I thought long and hard about it and watched how this person was with others. They are a long-time and trusted member of this board and there were no problems.
I have also helped you Apple and I trust you were happy with the results. embrace.gif
I am sorry your friend had trouble. Maybe in the future you could stick with the trusted regulars to help you out. blink.gif
this is the only trouble i have had but the thing is i know there pogo name but i dont know or not sure of there pogocheats name as he has just found out it has happened and as they told him i had given then the password and they knew what it was at that time i know it was someone on here as that only people i have given it to
I have always said giving someone else access to your account is not a good idea.
Giving someone access to your personal info is just asking for a case of identity theft.
i agree but it was just giving them pw to get badges millions do it here so i thought it ok

I'm sure there are people here that can be trusted but IMO I just think it is a bad idea.
apple: In Jan you were saying that someone that used <b> your </b>password charged things and now it is someone elses account. I am confused here. Was it you like the other post said or was it this friend of yours or did you both get taken?
both got taken thing is i think his was the same time but he has just noticed i have the persons pogo name but that wont help me find them on here will it/

No it won't. I would need either their pogocheats name or an email addy

Unfortunately, no. I went back looking at posts from you and you have asked for a ton of help and so it isn't just one or two people we are talking about.
i would not give out my password to a relative even..
the thing is i think i know who it is on here but i cant prove it it has to be recenet etc and i i dont want to say here why i think who it is in case they reading
I am so sorry, Apple. I know that you have asked for help in the past and I, myself, have helped you. I suggest that if you are going to continue to ask for help that you make a list of people you have asked before and KNOW that all went well - and just ask those on that list. With every new person from whom you accept help, you stand a chance of having this happen. I am so sorry and I hope that justice is yours - eventually.

My oldest brother gave me his a few years ago and I went in on April Fools Day and changed his mini to a female and all of his games to things like Makeover Madness and Perfect Pair. Yes it is a bad idea to even give your relatives access to your account.

It does not have to be one of the ones who recently helped you. Anyone in your past could have just waited until enough time had gone by to eliminate them from the Usual Suspects and gone back in and done it. I went back over a year of your posts and there were dozens of requests for help on badges. If you had given someone here your password, I suspect you have given it out somewhere else too.
I've been helping Apple get badges for a few years now, and I think I've done some of her friends that she usually has to help get. Apple, if you want help with badges I suggest that you erase all your personal information in your pogo account and the same for others. You can't gift gems, so the only way someone could gift a badge album would be though your paypal, or credit card info. Just keep all that stuff blank. I just pay with paypal and sign in each and everytime I need something. I see a lot of people on here who ask for help that give their name to just anyone. There is no telling what goes on with giving password in PMs that we don't see.
I've only given my password to Homer one time, but he tried to molest my mini, so he can't have it again. giggle2.gif

yes Tara you have helped me loads and with my friends and i trust you 100% all details are now off all accounts mine has always been off my friends is off now
i dont give my pw to anyone i check to see if they been on ghere long time etc but that may not matter anymore
i dont think i will be giving it anymore prob lose a lot of badges though
and tell Homer no more molesting lol
Apple so sorry this has happend to you twice. I myself do not keep info on my account. Keep the faith just be careful and read your friends wisely embrace.gif
undecided.gif I thought we had already discussed this subject once.
People who ask for help on here and give out their passwords out need to take some responsibilty too. It is up to YOU to protect your account.
Their are a lot of good people on the forum willing to help with badges. I have a very simple solution to this problem, probably too simple. There is a very special place which offers Uncle Otto and they have all the progams for every single game on Pogo, it is called Badge Helpers.
If it is a group of people who know each other, pool your money and then just help each other. I have every single program that Badge Helpers offers. So, if it is 2 people that is only $75 each.
The connection is right at the top of the forum I copied and pasted this below for everyone.
"150 Buys them ALL"
Get all of the "BadgeHelpers" for the low cost of $150. That's 86 programs for a savings of $705! This is such a great deal making the programs cost about $1.75 each!!!! Not only do you get a great price on them but you also will have 24 access to them so you can get them as you go and need them. You get all of the programs that you see listed on the website at the time you buy them all. Future releases are half off ($5 each)
Ok maybe I missed something but how in the world did you give your pw to someone as you claim in pogo cheats but do not know their name, considering people don't post their pogo names on here I would assume that you had to have their pogo cheats name to pm them ur info.
Am I right Or did I miss something giggle2.gif
Apple,
I am so sorry to hear what happened to you and your friend. I know that you have helped me with challenges before and I am truly grateful for your help. I wish there were more people like you that we CAN trust. I have personally asked for help on here and a lot of peeps have offered but I believe I know who I can trust and whom I can't trust and I choose accordingly.
Because of what happened to you, I just went in and erased all my info so that if I do need any help no one can get any of my info.

Wow, back up a minute first of all I didn't say I did not feel bad for you but you are the one who gave out information. That is a chance YOU are taking. If that was me I would keep track of who I gave information to. And I usually keep messages that I have sent for awhile anyway, so how was I suppose to know that you deleted your stuff. No need to be rude.
I have been a member of this site for over 4 years, but I have never asked for help to darn scared too. From being a member here for so long there are only a few that I would ever ask if I was brave enough so everyone takes a chance in doing what u did.
i know i took a risk and i was dumb to do it sorry to be snappy bad day yesterday
i have an idea who it is but at the moment no proof, i have the emails i sent to people so i know those ones i trust and this name jumped out who i dont know and took a silly risk with as i dotn know for sure i am waiting to get proof and then tell homer
Apple... embrace.gif
I think we can all understand being upset over this type of situation. You have the support of all of us. I am truly sorry your trust was betrayed. I hope the proof pans out. Best of luck... always - and I'm here if you ever need me.
blowkisses.gif
Dido. Apple, if you ever need anything I hope that you can trust me and I will always be willing to help you. You have been a friend to many of us on here and I know your faith in trusting people is shaky right now but do know that there are many of us that you can trust. embrace.gif

I hope it all works out and you find out so you can tell Homer and then Homer can get em!! Because even though we a bunch of cheaters we are not THIEFS! lol
And btw no apology needed I would be snappy too, trust me. Besides there is alot of great people here who wouldn't take advantage of people like that person did.

So true. I think anyone who has invested time in this site has shown themselves to be full of goodness. Anyone who would do such a thing is beyond low.
And I had a thought for apple - I didn't realize I needed to clear out the 'sent' PM's too so you might be able to narrow it down by looking in 'outbox' for the time period you think it happened.

I didn't know BadgeHelp allowed people to share a 150 page! Or are you saying, one person would keep all the autos on their computer and just run them for their friends who helped pitch in $$$ ...but then, that's still sharing the page...I'm so confused, but what else is new? embarrassed.gif

Stinky, you will even be more confused, when I try to explain it. hysterical.gif But here goes, I will try. I was just saying that maybe the best option for someone if they have a friend who wants to share the cost is to have one person purchase the 150 package and then do badges for themselves and the one friend.
NOT start their own badge getter service! I feel sorry for Apple that this happened to her. I had by whole Pogo name stolen, so I understand the feeling of trust and absolutely no one had my password. I have no idea how they did it! I stopped having anything to do with the people on my friends list except for 4 people I had known for a long time. I fought with Pogo for 9 months before I got the original screenname back and by then I was use to my new one. Pogo even put the 4 million I had in the original account into the one with my new name. It's hard when your trust is betrayed to sometimes move on. I am now paranoid if anyone tries to talk to me in Pogo, especially private chat. Won't do it period except for those 4 people I mentioned.
Now aren't you glad you ask. hysterical.gif

I feel horrible that it happened to Apple, too. The part that makes me feel soooo bad, is that apparently it was someone who she perceived as a trusted Pogo Cheats poster. That stinks.

This is spot on advice for anyone asking for help.
I've personally helped apple with her account and her friends/family in the past as well as numerous other peoples. If I offer to help someone and they don't take me up on the offer I'm not offended, but in the same vein those that I have helped I've always asked if they will verify I am genuine if the need arises. When I offer to help someone 'new' (to me) I offer to furnish them with the names of the people who I have helped in the past that have said they will vouch for me.
I beleive by keeping the list of names (if you want help) and keeping a list of 'vouchers' (if you are a helper) makes life on pogo a little more secure. By giving passwords out you are taking a risk, so minimising this risk to the best of your ability can only help.

I wanted to chuckle at that but then realized that you're speaking the truth! 6_6.gif
Sadly Stinky that is so true, I found something on the internet and it is about the universival law of cause and affect. Goes by another well know name, Karma.
Due to the inescapable law of cause and effect, every one of our actions in life comes back to us in some way at some stage in the future. It is not like someone or some higher power is watching you, it is simply a law of the universe. What ever type of energy you put out into the universe is what you will get back. If you steal you will never gain any benefit from the item you have stolen, in fact it will only cause you problems. If you steal money, that money will only bring you trouble since that stolen money is dripping with negative energy. Since energy is attracted to like energy, an item or money that was stolen carries negative energy and that can only attract more negative energy.
You might think that you know some people who have gotten away with stealing but let me tell you, they have not gotten away with anything. The universe always pays you back for the actions you make. You might steal but the universe might pay you back in another completely different way which will hurt you as much or considerably more than your theft hurt the person you stole from.

I hope you have some way of keeping your card number information away from anyone helping you as well as keeping your gems to a minimum so you can't be "gifting" anyone anything. The card I use on my acct is limited to only $50 withdrawls - something new in bank security and in order to get more I have to input a series of numbers and letters not just that 3 digit security number.
thnks i have yes and no info on my accoutns now
