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.

I am sorry your friend had trouble. Maybe in the future you could stick with the trusted regulars to help you out.

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?

apple · February 28, 2009, 06:47:03 AM

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..

apple · February 28, 2009, 07:48:49 AM

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

Squid · February 28, 2009, 07:54:00 AM

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.

jarjar · February 28, 2009, 09:04:31 AM

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

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)

careful
