June 23, 200719 yr i was farming in catherby when i was suddedly pmed by someone saying to go to jagex-pm.com. they said they finished reviewing my account. i went on the site and it look very much like a runescape website (i.e. the never enter your account on any other site except runescape.com and the links to recover you password if you lost it) and i entered my pin and everything they asked. i was so excited about it i just didnt think. so did i get scammed?? I am currently perm muted
June 23, 200719 yr Yes. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers. Alansson Alansson, woo woo woo! Pink owns yes, just like you!GOOOOOOOOOO ALAN! WOO!
June 23, 200719 yr YES Immediately change your pass and pin if you still can. Also change your recoveries (most important point, b/c the questions they ask are common recoveries). Report the website to Jagex. Remove that website from your post (against tip.it rules). Best of luck in getting your account back. EDIT: The site used the old rs login, and if you entered random things (i.e. username "cheese") it would log in as "cheese."
June 23, 200719 yr change your pin and pass NOW!!!!!!!! They'll log into your account, and take your stuff!!
June 23, 200719 yr Site made me laugh. Just look at what I circled on the site. IE7? Shame on you! On topic: don't feel bad, you probably just got caught up in the excitement of being a mod and stopped paying attention. Nobody here will make fun of you for it, even if it seems that way.
June 23, 200719 yr Change pass, recovery questions and everything immediatly. I cannot stress this enough, if you aren't sure about something, POST IT ON THESE FORUMS! Just hope that your account is urs :pray: Thanks Lil_Atza for the sig!
June 23, 200719 yr i personally don't have sympathy for you, as that is the main thing you're told not to do... change all listed info as quickly as you can, and run a virus check. also, if you're pmed by a 'jagex worker/staff member', make sure they have a gold crown. they might pm you if you're chosen as a mod, but they will never direct you to another site, just to the message center. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr
June 23, 200719 yr Run Norton Antivirus if you have it or get some keylogger scanner, just in case. Still alive, still alive.
June 23, 200719 yr wow.....that is an extremely good scam, the website looks almost exactly like a runescape site, im sure you were not the first or the last im afraid. But as everyone else said if they havnt changed your pin and pass and such do it as quick as possible and try some options on the recover lost password section, hopefully they can help you :? edit: i ran into a similar scam like this around level 50 and they had complete control of my account and i still managed to get it back so dont think theres no chance
June 23, 200719 yr yea u got scammed. that looked like a really good set up scam to me. very well thought out with the website and everything. you brought up a good point by not entering any info about ur account on a website other than runescape.com try to keep that in mind next time. i hope u get ur account back if it got hacked already :pray: if not, go with what everybody else is saying Not all F2Pers are beggars or scammers, some are respected members, but these respected people are over-populated by these beggar and scammers.
June 23, 200719 yr haha did anyone read at the bottom where it says not copyright 1999-2007 jagex ltd......lol if only people would read.
June 23, 200719 yr is there a way anyone can inform Jagex about this site? It is very well designed, so im afraid you arent the last one got scammed. Click here for my blog <----MY BLOG
June 23, 200719 yr It's very disconcerting to see that there's such a well done mimic of the Official Site. This shows that there are some people out there who are willing to go thru great lengths to rob people of their characters and their hard earned items. This is even worse than simple item/password scamming since a web site such as this mimic, targets all of their victims equally.

June 23, 200719 yr you got scammed, but you can look on that from bright side: atleast you won't do the same mistake again. Change your pass, recoveryes and pin as soon as possible refresh to see another sigF2p forever
