I received a "warning" from TNT telling me my UC was from a compromised account and that all trades were being reversed. I've literally had that UC for 5 years and it was on my side account for about 18 months before that. Pardon my French but what in the actual fuck?
*that's rough buddy*
Ouch. Did you get any pet in return? The pet might have been part of a compromised pet trading chain that happened ages (>5 years) ago. That's really unfortunate.
Definitely submit a ticket to either get the pet back, or get whatever you traded for it back

Man what the? that's fucked up
good luck getting it sorted
Definitely submit a ticket with as much info as you can.
However, if your pet *did* come from a compromised account/was ever taken at any point in time, unfortunately these things happen and it is a risk of pets traded for/bought “illegit”.
I hope you at least ended up with something though since they are putting you in a reversal chain?
6.5 years is very unlikely for someone to come back and reclaim a pet after the pandemic has started to wind down. But with the access to neopets administrative info that neo_truths has displayed on Reddit, I wouldn't be surprised if someone was looking at the best named pets og accounts and trying to recreate og email addresses to have for themselves or sell considering the insane prices for incredibly named pets I've seen recently
It is unlikely, however, unfortunately it still within the realm of possibilities. It definitely is possible that people are trying to reclaim older accounts from past DB lists, yes. But we do not know specifics on this situation so its best not to heavily speculate.
Has happened to me too. Its kind of crazy how such things happen. Legit trade ups done to get a UC and then someone somewhere down the line yells unfair and it all goes to crap, no matter how long ago.

Ooof, I'm so sorry.
This is something I've always feared too. I know some people who have tried to get their pets back after years, and TNT will be like "it's been too long, we don't have the records, too bad so sad."
Other times they seem to rip pets from their owners that have had them for almost a decade? Where's the consistency?
Then usually...the person who gets their pets back just disappears from Neo again. :|
