I don't know if Neo has a spoof@ email but they definitely should if they don't! Ebay, paypal, many large sites do have that and they have staff that just deals with this type of scam.
One of our members here was having a huge problem, and one of the things I told that person was to take all their personal information off their profile - website, aim, im, icq, email, etc. -- anything that could be used to try to scam or hack you.
I also highly suggest that no one use the same name here as they do on Neo or anywhere else.
But I've never gotten any of these fake email scams from Neo either. Yes, I've gotten them via ebay and paypal (that one really worries me - I don't even use the same email for both of those). They do get sent right to the spoof@ email addresses.
One other thing to be very careful of -- the new @neomail.com? People have already been using that claiming to be with the Premium service and that they've selected you to be some sort of tester for the new services and you'll receive special items, np, etc....but you do have to email them back with your information so they can "process" your inclusion in this special test/promotion. And the email is @neomail, not @neopets, not a yahoo, etc.
Bottom line - unless you know the person, feel that you can trust them, don't just have any of your personal information viewable by the public. Only give your email or im to the people you can trust (and there aren't that many any more out there). May sound harsh, may sound paranoid, but they ARE out to get us.
I just want to know, if these are kids doing this, where are their parents? Don't you think they'd be so proud to know that their child is basically a thief in training? And I hope you all know here I mean absolutely no offense to anyone on this forum. I'm talking about these ... won't say here ... who have nothing better to do than try to scam/steal/hack a game site or the players. It just makes me so
