Chain Letters

You will receive a NeoMail, possibly claiming to be from a NeoPets Staff member. The message will tell you to forward it to all your NeoFriends and you might get an item or lots of NeoPoints.

If you receive a message like this, delete it, don't even bother replying.

NeoPets will never send you a chain letter, nor will they send you any message asking you to forward it on so they can check that you play (they have a database which can very easily tell when you were on)! Think about it, chain letters seriously slow down the NeoPets site as the databases try to send on all the letters, why would NeoPets Staff want to do that?

Any time NeoPets may need to send a NeoMail to you (e.g. when you beat the "better than you" score), it will be sent from one account, and one account only "theneopetsteam".

Also, if you do add your name to a list, and forward it to lots of people, at some point it is quite likely that a potential scammer will receive the message - they will look at the list of people and think "Here is a list of people who fell for this silly trick, maybe I can scam them too!"
