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

BabyCheetah · February 28, 2009, 10:45:07 AM

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.

Squid · March 01, 2009, 07:37:48 AM

Apple...

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.

BabyCheetah · March 01, 2009, 08:18:00 AM

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.

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.

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.

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?

Stinky, you will even be more confused, when I try to explain it.

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.

Ahhhhh..... ok, got it now.

Thanks for the explainin'

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.

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.

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.

Do unto others as you wish done to yourself is my motto.

~Sassy~ · March 02, 2009, 08:54:16 AM

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.
