Story
Username Currently: Luru25
Victim Account: Luru25
Occured: Saturday June 28, 2008
Documentation: Twice reported (I think) and a few avi drawings of me. This is kinda old The plasma gear i was scammed out of. But the pora is on my head, pixie wings, and the go player. Tiger/ Bunny drew this I'm in teh bottom right corner-ish. Rock hard (is on the wrists), pixie wings, and the go player. Can't see the Pora Ice.
Friends: Singing Bunny/Tiger Dream, Icefire26, Jason_Storm, and RainbowColoredMuffins. (Ask any of them)
Other Accounts: Bunny Puppet Doll and Frozen_IceyDream
Missing Items/Gold: No gold (That I remember) but my Pora Ice (6th Gen.), Rock Hard, Tiny Pixie Wings, some tattoos, and GO Player
How Were You Hacked: I have no idea. My items just started dissapering.
What Items Had The Most Sentimental Value: My Pora Ice was the most sentimental
Why: Well, it may seem really weird but I named it . . . it really did have sentimental value.
(added) How I got my account back: The guy who hacked me didn’t change my password OR my e-mail.(Must have been a new hacker) But I changed everything , traded all the remaining thing to my other account Bunny Puppet Doll, and waited to see if anything happened. No one got on after that so I came back to this one.

You've not even finished making the charity yet, but I was hacked in 2005, and I'd love to help out with your charity.

(This one just made me feel special when setting up <3)

| Hey there!
I saw you in the list of charities (on the last page, Santa hasn't updated in a while) and I really like what you're doing for hacked/scammed people.

This is the best idea for a charity thread I have seen in a long time! It's nice to know that someone cares about people who work hard to get things and have them stolen from them. I will most certainly be donating to the thread to help others!
