Flippi273 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I wasnt too sure about this guy msging me on whether it was a scam or not so i figured i would post it here anyways, might help someone if it is one. So i log in and seconds later someone who is not on my friends list PMs me and says he likes my vids on utube ( his english doesnt seem too good btw) and thats where he got my username, but however i dont have any vids on there... Here is the chat ( i missed the beginning though) I tried to get him to send me a link, this way i could for sure know it was a scam but im not to sure about this one really :-k If anyone has any feedback about this please post. If not sorry and let the post die :P 70+ all skills. 17/24 skills 75+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_sunny Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 All you need as a follow-up was "Oh really, I really though you appeared in [video name] you were really awesome with your [high level weapon]... oh wait I have that video on my site [website]. :| By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it.

Guest Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i don't think u need to call it a "scam" morelike an attempt to infect your pc with a virus / keylogger and maybe he just read ur name here on the forums and he is actually a big fan of yours ;) anyways if you say you never posted anything either on tube or on any other site that features video, just put the guy in ignore... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunli Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Not long ago, Jagex warned players on their site to google names/sites other players asked you too, because you could end up getting keylogged clicking one of the search result links. Anywho - this is the google search result for "Flippi273"; http://www.google.no/search?q=flippi273 ... =firefox-a (Dont click any of the links if you dont know it!) Notice that one of the links say; Highest Rated Videos by Flippi273 at Metacafe - so maybe he confused YouTube with metacafe? Oh and one more thing; be carefull asking for links to sites in game since that could get you in trouble with Jagex if reported. - "I am willing to die...I mean try" - Jewelfire (Want to go bossing?) -"we tried, we cried and we died!" - Limparse (What happens to old farts and tarts on monster-hunts) - "...and we found out that there are as many ways to get to warriors guild ...as there are elders trying to get there" - Lysi *snods agely* sorry... *nods sagely* - Brammy -"Equality is being treated the SAME as everyone else; not having special treatment and unique things added in to everything." - Sy_Accursed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
