These phishers don't even try that hard. They bank on people not being aware of or not paying attention to the fact that IMVU staff have a watermark background on their avatar card.But honestly, I'm surprised this tactic still works. They have been doing this since I started IMVU almost 10 years ago and countless people have written warnings about them. Guess they prey on people new to IMVU.


Yeah, this was the way to get credits back when IMVU was just starting, it was easy to create a phishing page even a ten year old could figure it out easily.

I have unfortunately fell victim to this twice.. Once back during Christmas of 2016, my account got h4c|<7d and I couldn't get into it for almost two whole months. I had to make a dummy account, fight with Imvu support for the whole two months just to get a resolution from them and send me a temporary password. Once I finally got it back, most of my stuff was altered before my last log in before the h4c|<.

The second time, it was mainly changing the password before anything real damage happened, like being locked out of my account. Luckily, I've been more well aware of these issues and block any names I don't recognize on there.

What about contacting IMVU as well? They are no help when it comes to finances but maybe they will take this issue a lot more seriously!
