Yes, whoever's behind it is trying to steal your account and items. Do not reply to this email!

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
Wow, I actually think it's sad that people have to do this just to get items for themselves. I won't answer this e-mail, for sure.

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
Actually, I know the person who sent this email.
This girl just really doesn't like me at all. I'm sure she wouldn't do that to you guys though.

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
Vanessa it was very nice of you to warn us about this new scam that is going around. It is very disappointing that people would do such a thing. It is great to know that the people in the Bearville Guide Forum are trustworthy seeing as the person who began this scam was not. It surprises me to see that they left out a few capitalization. Originally, I know Build-a-Bearville would capitalize "thank you beary much." I did not receive this e-mail and I am glad I did not. Thank you so much for notifying us and hopefully those who aren't part of forums like this one are aware of the scam. =]

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
I think whoever sent this thought that they would out smart the person they sent it too.But it is so important that every little detail counts.Just think why would BABV discoccted your account.Wow that just shows how selfish and mean and cold hearted people can be.Also if they want your password for a website just think what they would do in the real world.As alot of people say "it all starts on the computer".I hope whoever did this realized that by clicking "send" you could get yourself in some serious trouble.Even if it isn't the real world it still affects people and it is still stealing.To whoever got this E-mail I am glad that you did not reply and that you took the time to contact the CBGs to see if this E-mail was infact real or a scam.This has made me realize that I should change my password ASAP.Because my isn't the hardest to figure out.Thank you for posting this.I also belive CholeRocks has sent out a message in BABV.So check your BearMail.

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
It wouldn't even make sense for BABW to ask for your passwords, because, wouldn't they already have them, if you made the account through them? It makes me really sad how selfish people are. seriously! I don't think they relize if they get caught, it could really put them in trouble. It not only hurts other people, but it also hurts themselves, how dishonest they are. I think its really immature for someone to do that, just for virtual stuff!
it just shows how dishonest people are getting. I know there are good people too, but it just reminds me of the song Where Is The Love- By Black Eyed Peas. and thank you for telling us! Also, change your password frequently! you never know.

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
ugh people are pathetic.
if you honestly are THAT obsessed with BABV, you need HELPPPP
and they must have taken WAY too much time to write that "legit" email.
wow some people need to GET OFF THE COMPUTER every once in a while and start living in the real world, especially bc babv isnt a REAL world, yanno.
patheticccccccc.

Thanks for telling us about it :]
Just one question, though, how do they know who plays BABV and who doesn't?
Thanks again

Re: WARNING: Scam Alert!
Thank you so much for informing us all. (:
It's very helpful && kind of you to do so
It's true; BABW doesn't ask for your password, but
younger children might believe this trick.
I also noticed tomorrow is April Fool's Day.
I really hope this has nothing to do with an April Fool's Day trick;
for if so it was just inconsiderate of the person
to do something like this.
