When you visit a Retro you may think that the worst thing about the place is that it’s empty and all your friends are on the real Hotel. However there are other nasty things which can put you at risk if you use Retro Hotels:

➢ When you go to a Retro Hotel site you risk having your computer infected with keyloggers, Trojans or other nasty code that you can’t see.
➢ The personal information you give when you enter a Retro Hotel may be used to hack your real Habbo account or to gain access to your email or MSN accounts. It can also lead to you receiving password ‘phishing’ emails, receiving junk mail or be used to impersonate you on other services.
➢ Retro Hotels are not owned and run by proper companies who have to abide by Data Protection laws (as Sulake does) and keep your email details safe. That means your email can be harvested and sold to companies whose business is to spam you with highly inappropriate emails.
➢ Retro Hotels have no professionally trained staff for you to turn to if you experience bullying, harassment or inappropriate sexual behaviour; in fact with many Retros selling Moderator status to anyone willing to pay, it may even be a Retro "Moderator" who is abusing you!

Get aboard the Infobus
Join me at 7pm on Thursday aboard the Infobus for a special Retro quiz. I’ll be randomly picking one lucky person from the passengers to win a fantastic Infobus poster!

Keep it Real Help us rid the world of Retros.
