Wizz Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I got hacked once on my glitch account. It had all of it's skill to the norm except for woodcut wich was around 20. I log back into the account, It was a lv 50 with mith armour.... I left it alone and let that other person keep it. I don't really need it, I created it for a lv3 TET event... Wongton is better than me in anyway~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to contact JAGeX. The hacker will probably check up on your account every month and then take it back when it's stronger! "We will certainly not be gaining money or members with this update.

Dizzle229 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well, I ran a scan. No viruses or keyloggers. I never gave anyone my pass. This is a real mystery. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Ike111 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 About 4 years ago someone I knew in game got on to my account some how. He changed the password, and started to play on my account. The next day I recovered the account, and logged on. Nothing was missing, but he had got me up 2 defense levels. I asked him why he did it, and he said he wanted to see what it was like on a high level. Later I found out that it was my IRL friend who gave him my password...

My_Eggs Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I gotta give here, I've never heard of anything like that. Personally, I think that if you subscribe again you should check your credit card to make sure there isn't some way for him to see your info by using the visa card info. well if that was so, then he could see the hacker's info. I think that he might be trying to get your account again, you can use past credit card numbers that have been used to pay for members to get past recovery questions sometimes. Why hack an account to make it easy to hack? Maybe he didn't have much on the account, so the hacker decided that with not being able to drop trade, he would let him play on members for a month, and possibly get something good, and worthwile of keeping. So he just waits for the month to run out, and takes the account back to see what all was accumulated on the account over the month, to see if it is worth keeping now, or maybe I just think into things to much. ;) 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

jemathonical Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I reckon just have a bit of fun with it. He knows your password, whether he hacks into you at a later date when your account is better doesn't matter. Just enjoy the month of membership. : ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

Capheraekton Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There are a few possible situations. 1. He hacked you, bought membership for the account so he could use it on a members world, then felt guilty about hacking you and gave it back. 2. He hacked you, felt guilty about it, and bought membership for you to make up for it. 3. He will use his credit card information later to claim that he is the true owner of the account, in order to steal it again, and you won't be able to get it back. 4. He was playing a joke on you to make you panic. 5. You're making this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx_Flare_xX Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If this is true my bet would be the hacker is gonna use the members details to keep your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Id be worried that the credid card used was fraudulent and you are now using stolen goods.

Fairness Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 This is an excellent scam, I'm going to play this sometime. Joking, but really, I think the membership subscription details can be used in lieu of recoveries. In which case, you're screwed. You're being watched.

Ledusskapis Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 maybe he is an evil chinese goldfarmer overlord, who hacks peoples accounts, gives them free membership, wait till they use it up, and most likley make money during this time, and bam!, hack again, but this time, there is more than full rune in the bank. Or i can also agree with the mind[bleep] theory. Both seem reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There will be a catch, negative credit, ban, I reckon. And now he also can use your subscribing info to help get your account after its done with membs, he might be using you to train, and then take it for his own.

The Observer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Heh, that's pretty nice. But if they got caught, they would probably still get in trouble for it. Personally, my friend had his account accessed by someone. Did they steal his items? No. Did they steal his account? No. Guess what they did? They did a total of around 30 quests, made him around 3m and trained up his skills by a huge portion. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The person who stole my character during the time i was quit trained my character up too. I'm not smiling about it though. I like doing quests and its sad that i am unable to do some of them with my character. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

highlanders Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Keep us informed whether or not in a month the hacker will use the transaction code to steal the account back. It's a bit odd to waste 5 $, or waste time finding a stolen credit card number, just to steal a lvl 80 account... Who knows, maybe he's nice for real. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
