Welcome to Be A Rich Neopian!

[ This is a SAMPLE of what to avoid!! ]

About me:

My name is George [deleted].  I am 23 years old, and I'm a computer programmer.  I have approx. 7 years of C.P ( Computer Programming ) experience.  Curently, I am working for an organization for the Government, and I like to play Neopets when I'm not doing anything. ( lol ) I decided 2 years ago to see if I could configure a way to make Neopians have MORE NEOPOINTS! ( for FREE of course ) And, yes, I found the way.  Some consider me a genius, others, just a nice guy. I ask nothing of you personally, but that EVERYONE takes care of their neopets PROPERLLY.  NEOPET ABUSE IS HORRIBLE, AND I, IN NO SHAPE OR FORM SUPPORT IT. Please. DO NOT ABUSE YOUR NEOPETS. I believe they have feelings too! So, read the info below, and you will be on your way to Happy Neopet Living.  

Get NEOPOINTS to feed, clothe, or even play with your pet! BEST OF ALL, THIS IS F-R-E-E! Just follow the easy and simple instructions! :-)  

FREE NEOPOINT INFO BELOW:  

SEND THE FOLLOWING TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS: [deleted]

1. Username

2. Password

3. Email address/addresses

Ok, let me explain WHY I am asking you for this! ( I know there will be the idiotic people out there who will call me a scammer. And don't get me wrong. YOU aren't idiotic for comming here. ) USERNAME: I need to know whose account the Neopoints are going to!!! PASSWORD: I need to get into your account and configure the D.N.S entry field to the correct one that will give you the free neopoints. EMAIL ADDRESS: THIS IS OPTIONAL!!! I will email you on the information, and WHEN you recieve your neopoints...which will most likely be the NEXT DAY since I recieve a lot of requests! I AM NOT SURE HOW LARGE YOUR MONEY ACCOUNT WILL BE! The largest one I know of was Jankeet1928 who recieved 283,193,033 Neopoints.

THANKS FOR VISITING! I AM OPEN FOR COMMENTS. JUST EMAIL ME! :-)

~George [deleted] (Founder-In-Command and D.N.S Government Configurer Operator and WELL, JUST A NICE NEOPIAN!
