EvilCredits offers fraud and safety info

About resellers

There is a list of Registered Resellers maintained here: http://imvucreditresellers.com/
What does it mean for a credit Reseller to be registered? Its means they've aquired IMVU's permission to buy and sell credits. EvilCredits is proud to be a Registered Reseller. Never buy or sell credits from anyone not listed there.

Doubts

When in doubt about a reseller (or your safety and privacy): don't hesitate to contact IMVU, another reseller, a reputable developer, or me, with questions about it. There are quite a few resellers and developers that have been with IMVU for many years, and know all the tricks of the baddies, and we're all willing to help and check something out to look out for your safety.

Avoid these

NEVER buy credits from any website, homepage, or person who does any of the following:

Lists prices that are way too good to be true.
Lists prices in their avatar image.
Sells credits from a guest homepage.
Has a homepage that says "Last log on: 00/00/00" or the "Avatar since" date is recent.
Does not respond to homepage messages or emails in a timely manner.

This is a fake reseller's avatar picture. Report their homepage!

If you see a homepage that you think is a fake reseller, be sure to click "Report homepage" at the top of that page. If that link is hidden, ct=Suspicious%20reseller'>let me know that avatar name, so I can persue getting that illegal page disabled.

Password safety

Never give your IMVU password to anyone! IMVU staff will never ask for it. Homepage designers will not need your password if they are good designers. So if they ask, don't give it. Make sure your password is strong. (not short, and not having to do with your avatar name, or any other things on your homepage.) Use Random.org to make a ridiculously-strong password.

When logging into IMVU's website, make sure the address is http://www.imvu.com/login/ and that you're not looking at an imitation login page on a fraudulent homepage.

If you think you've been hacked or scammed, let IMVU know immediatly. Contact them.

If you accidentially typed your password somewhere you shouldn't, or your think someone may be logging into your avatar without your permission, immediately change your password.

If you are receiving emails from IMVU about password or email changes that you did not initiate, you should reply to the emails (which should go to fraud@imvu.com) and explain that you didn't want a password/email change.

Billing

If you're coming to EvilCredits.com because you saw PAYPAL *EvilCredits.com or similar on your bank statement and you've never heard of EvilCredits, read on. This site, EvilCredits.com, sells virtual currency for use in an online social world called IMVU.com. Before you call the bank thinking you've been a victim of fraud, ask around your house about IMVU. I find that in most of these cases, children, friends, family, or anyone else that may have access to your bank card might have borrowed it without asking and made the purchase. If you're the parent or guardian, contact me and we can easily convert the virtual currency back into real money as a refund.
