    As in the person will gift you illegit neopoints with the goal of getting your account frozen?

    Or is there some kind of neomail exploit where they'll obtain your password if you reply?

    Genuinely curious. Seems kind of silly IMO.
    I don't think they actually gift any neopoints. The exploit doesn't sound far fetched.

    I can't believe Nigerian Princes have come to Neopets finally.

    "I also kind of wanted to have something the winner could do to get more from me if they felt like earning more in a given day"
    They left it open ended, so the victim will end up losing their NC/nps and not getting the 50k per day as promised. So that's the scam. The long message is just to confuse people. The scam sign is obvious though.
