(for quick summary go to the bottom) 

Okay, so recently one of my buddies have "quit" aj. They told me they were hacked, and asked if I still wanted their acc as they still had membership. I'm nonmember btw. I got a little confused as of why they would give their member account to me, since we never really talked or were close. I double check and ask him if he really wanted me to have this account because I didn't really need the account myself; I was fine with being nonmember. I tell him that he could have his acc back at anytime and he insisted that I kept the acc since he would permanently be quitting. So okay yay, free membership account? Anyways, back to the point. He gives me his password and tells me to log in. The password did work. I was able to log into this member account. He had no diamonds, rarely any clothing items, and some instore den items. I was in the den when some of his buddies appeared. I told his buddies that this acc was used by someone else and all of them except one  didn't really have a reaction; they just left the den. The one person that was still there kinda said "WHAT OMG" or something along those lines. They also left after a friend told them to follow. But I transferred a raccoon tail on this acc since I wanted to dress up an animal. I already had a small hunch that my stuff could still be taken so I just put in a raccoon tail as a test. I then went on the tfd and after the adventure ended, I was logged out. This doesn't happen on my main acc so I supposed that one of his buddies also had this acc or he wanted to log back in again. I have another tab opened with sunsailor (mainacc) and checked if the member acc was online. It wasn't? So I logged back in. When I logged back in, his buddies who didn't know my username (I didn't tell them either) came into my den. Soon there were 5 people (possibly with him in this too). This was were I was starting to get suspicious, because one of these people(the person that said "what omg") were saying the password. Well, the password was a word but it wasn't a word used everyday. So I asked them "did he tell you?" and the (what omg) person said that they were "guessing". They said that i was lucky to get a membership acc and asked what I was gonna do with it. They also specifically asked me, "are you going to move ur items in it?" and I responded (quite stupidly) "nah im just gonna play tfd on it my items are gonna stay here (on my main acc)"  I double checked the account and it seemed like a new account. I logged onto the acc, and it kept on logging me out. Sure enough, someone else was logging into the acc. The (what omg) person was still in my den but they were like dead? I kept on stalking them on sunsailor and eventually saw the membership acc trading with the (omg what) acc. apparently it was the main accounts brother but... not so sure about that. So yea. sorry for this long story lol.

summary:

if a person gives u a "free" membership acc because theyre "quitting" or smth just dont put ur items on there :)

Should I expose the accounts? Im not so sure, but i am pretty sure that their intention was to take my items. I also almost made the mistake of putting my items there and using it as a spare but even if i did it wouldve been a bunch of stuff like dyed spiked hair or bee antennas  lol. Couldve ended badly cus I did also think about putting my headdress in that acc for a split second. o-o

also my first time talking on the forum cus they banned irrelevant topics from the rare pets page x) makes sense

thank you for coming to my ted talk :)
