It seems no matter how many times someone says, "DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD," you always see a citizen here or there in distress. And what, might you ask, caused this poor fellow such a feeling? He gave out his password!

So, in case you thought it was a joke, or you just weren't paying attention, I'll say it again:

DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD

And, again:
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD

And some more times:
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD

Yes, this is how important it is that you NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD! There are so many tricks that account stealers will use to play with your head. Believe me, in all the time I've been on Whyville, lots of con-artists have tried to get the better of me. But they didn't, and do you know why? Because I NEVER GAVE OUT MY PASSWORD.

Yes, it's true that lately more of the scammers have gotten smarter, and taken advantage of something we are all most likely guilty of. And you know what that is? It's greed. It's that constant hunger for free clams.

The very thought that you could have the chance to receive the "popular" face part, or, the unsellable hair that will sell for over 1000 clams is just too much for your mind to bear.

More and more, con-artists are using tricks like telling you you've won a contest, or have been randomly selected and, provided that you give them your password (DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANYCIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD), they will stock your account with riches and royalties.

Well do not fall for it. Like I have said many times,
DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANYCIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD.

DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANYCIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD,

Editor's Note: Thank you, casc302.

And do not, under any circumstances, take a "FREE!" account. This is the latest and most successful scam today. DON'T MESS WITH PASSWORDS, PERIOD.
