Safety Precautions



Stardoll may seem very scary when it comes to scammers and hackers, but there are many ways to avoid it.

Tips to avoid scamming:
-Never go first unless the other trader has reliable references and has never been on a scamming list before.
-Always have references.
-If someone is selling something for a low price (not in Starbazaar) and it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
-Always make sure you know exactly how the trade/sale is going to take place so you don't have any issues.
-Make sure no one is on your page before you trade/sell.
-Hide the item you are going to trade/sell.


Tips to avoid hacking:
-NEVER give your password away. Trust no one. You never know who could end up with it.
-Don't fall for those "change your e-mail to get 100000000sd" lies. They get your password through the e-mail you change it to.
-Try to be careful when accepting requests because of the whole virus thing. (Ask poohg_1993 for ideas to not get a virus from friend requests.)
-Have a nice long password no one could easily guess and make sure you have it written down and hidden somewhere safe.
-Don't ever go to any websites that seem suspicious. NEVER "log in" to somewhere other than Stardoll. Places like Piczo and some blogs have a screeshot of Stardoll's log-in page with a comment box hidden underneath it.
