Pet ID Number - Anti-Scammer Suggestion

peppermintcowboy • 11 August 2012 at 11:54 PM

Apologies if something like this has been suggested before. 😊

I've been very nervous about scammers lately, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. :-/ We all know that if an account is hacked and pets are stolen, the easiest way to locate them is to simply search for their creature ID number. This has made me want to write down all my pet ID numbers, just so I'll have a list in case anything ever happens. The problem is, I have hundreds and hundreds of pets. It's tiresome and time-consuming.

My suggestion is: how about, say, on the 'Cove' page (beside the 'Get Code' link and stats), all the pets have their ID numbers listed right beside their graphic? That way paranoid people like me can just print out that page and have a kind of 'pet ID number index', which would be immensely helpful should any pets be stolen. 😊

Am I explaining this clearly enough? Having a print-friendly list of your own pet ID numbers, clearly indicating which pet, would be very helpful.

@peppermintcowboy That's a really good idea 😃 For most people, they only know their creatures' names, but not the ID numbers, so if they get scammed and can't find their creatures' name is changed, they can't find their creature again, so this would be a really useful thing to have 😃

@ peppermintcowboy

I have taken screenies of mine. Would be a great idea for a easy printable version too.

To be clear I don't screenie each pet.


I had it written out but figure it would be easier to show it. I do all this from the easy code area.

@peppermintcowboy

I just post the easy code on another
site so I know which ones are mine 😊
I always update it.
