Members of Habbo Hotel decorate their rooms with digital furniture and other items that they pay real money for. The Dutch teens scammed other members into giving them their passwords and then took their digital furniture, which was worth a total of 4,000 Euros ($5,863).


What I want to know is WHO is paying real money for virtual furniture???
