Ever felt sad (possibly even wanting to quit ourWorld) if you had been hacked or scammed? Well, here's a few tips on what to do if this happens to you, and to help you avoid the situation.

 

"I've been scammed! What do I do???" 

Well, ourWorld can't really help you retrieve your items if its your fault for falling for it. BUT, here's a few reminders if someone tries to scam you.

If someone promises to gift you/buy you gems, don't fall for it! Its obvious that they want your rares, and scammers will promise a bunch of gems for your brilliant items. But they know that they can trick people into giving them free items. Remember, if they promise to give you gems or residency passes, DON'T FALL FOR IT!

"I've been hacked!! What do I do????"

Well, if you've been hacked, you've either given away your log in info to someone, or a website that promises, gems. Of course. They know that a lot of you would want free gems for downloading something or entering your info in. Don't enter your log in info into it, because if you have lots of rares, they will steal them all. And just because you fell for a scamming website. 

If you've given your log in to your 'bestie' because you 'know' they won't hack into your account, change your password STRAIGHT AWAY. The people you meet online, you know nothing about, so its best to keep your personal info to yourself.

If you're a paying customer and you got hacked, and you know you haven't given away your info to anyone, then its most likely ourWorld will try to help you out. Send a help ticket to support@ourworld.zendesk.com explaining what happened and they will guide you into helping you retrieve your items and account back.

 

Remember this: If you ever get scammed, don't create an event saying "REPORT THIS PERSON THEY SCAMMED ME!" or put their name on your profile and say "please report them, they scammed me". Just stay cool and report them to the ourWorld staff, include your reasons and they may get banned, depending on the severity of what they did.

 

I hate seeing so many people upset because they have lost their items, so please keep these in mind and avoid hackers/scammers and their websites.

 

If you need help/have any questions, leave a comment below or send me a message in ourWorld. I'm on almost everyday, so i'll help you out. But that does not mean I will give you free items. So please do not ask.

 

Stay safe,

Charleigh~

  I'm sorry but that was your own fault. You should never EVER give out your email and password. OurWorld constantly shows bubbles at the right of your screen when you log on saying never share your password. Like this post clearly says, if you're a paying customer and got hacked send a help ticket and they will try to help you out.

  Yes Ailee is right why they keep on calling me that! Aileen meaning:  Love, Romance, and affection second is Lovebirds,Forest ,Birds and Plants!  Everything beautiful about this name!  They should call their self that! They should mean to their self! They in started in the first place. A girl her name start with the letter ''I'' she said monsters will get me but the monsters indicate her and keep bothering her and sending messages to her.

  @Clown, No matter who they are, even if they are your close friend on ourWorld or in the real world, you never give out your password or email. Some people out there are mean and greedy, and they honestly don't care about the person, they just want the items.

  If you do make an event anyways instead of telling the virtual world to report the player just make them aware that the player is going around acting and being suspicious and how they attempt to scam you. That way if someone else ever comes across that player they will know who they are and avoid them.

  One of the uses for bamboo was creating a simple cooking implementthat allowed you to boil rice. The following photos take you throughthe process of using the bamboo as a rice cooker. Ideally, youwant to use a species of bamboo that has a thick wall, large diameter,and long sections between the nodes. The interior diameter was 2 1/2 inches. Zojirushi NS-ZCC10

  The development of electric rice cookers began in the Taisho era (1912-1926), but it wasn’t until 1955 that the first automatic rice cooker for household use went on sale in Japan. The company that made this cooker, Toshiba, spent five years developing it. After much trial and error, the company came up with a method called "double-pot indirect cooking," in which a cup of water was poured into the outer pot, and the machine automatically turned off when all of this water evaporated, signaling that the rice was ready.

  A rice cooker is an easy to use machine that cooks rice at the touch of a button (or two). Several model and design points will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but almost all of the best rice makers share common elements. A removable inner bowl, typically made of non stick metal or enamel, is seated in a larger external pot which contains the heating element. Once the correct ratio of rice and water is poured into the rice cooker, the lid is sealed, and the heating element is engaged to begin the cooking process.

  How to Make Epic Pancakes with Your Japanese Rice Cooker RocketNews24 Our pressure cookers, rice cookers, and steamers have a 5-cup capacity, based off of uncooked rice. This lets you make as little or as much as you need, for yourself or your coworkers. Prepare a main dish in your crockpot for a balanced meal. Put the rice and milk in the rice cooker bowl and stir to combine. A smaller 5.5 cup version of this rice cooker exists and it has the same exact features.
