NX code from friend? o-O (Is this a hack)

So I was just chillin' in the FM, when my friend chats me. She says that she is quitting for college, and asks me if I want a free code for NX. I say "Sure", and she gives me a code. However, I'm suspicious because:

-She didn't know her own name (I asked if her name was ____ (fake name), and she said yes...)
-I'm pretty sure she's not old enough to go to college
-Earlier during the day, my other friend had this exact same thing happen to them (friend offering nx code)

So I'm wondering, is it possible to be hacked by trying to put in a fake NX code? I'm positive that it's not my friend on her account, and that it's a hacker.

you cant hack an account just by trying a code..... if it works great if it doesnt tell her it worked instant success to see if shes trying to hack u XD

[quote=jesse2007]The trick is that the code won't work and then they will offer to go on your account and fix it for you. By the time you get back onto your character - all your stuff will be gone. Don't give out your info and you'll be fine.[/quote]

[quote=howardch1234]It's a new scam. The person will give you a 25 number code, which he/she will then tell you when you say it doesn't work that it's from Singapore.
He/she will then ask you for your account info to redeem for you.
(Then ta-da, you're hacked )[/quote]

There's this scam where people get hacked and they pretend to be their friends and then they refer to them to this site or something and you get hacked .-.

An educated guess would lead me to believe that entering the code for the cash shop (They will know which packets will be sent for it) would allow them to catch information, perhaps your login ID?

[quote=SimplySweet]this is a scam, old scam really...

you try the nx code and it won't work, then you go to your "friend" and tell them the code doesn't work. then they say something like, "let me try going on your account and using the code, tell me your user and pass,etc..." then they hack you

it won't hurt to try the code, if it doesn't work, just don't ask them about it.[/quote]

Oh alright, thanks I was wondering if I would somehow get hacked by just trying the code...although, she (the hacker) did tell me to tell her when I tried it

if its hard why do it on a 93 hermit instead of someone real godly, all you have to do is give them the code anyways
