pryomancer Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hello everyone, recently we've had a lot of accounts being created to try to steal peoples' RuneScape accounts. The message usually looks like this: Everyone who has played RuneScape for a bit knows that zezima is just another player, except with very high skills, and experience. But why is he getting attention from Jagex Mods? Do you think this is fair? Please help spread the word on his topic: http://forum.[Please Use QuickFind Code].ws?72,73,539,57888646 As you can see there is a link at the bottom, this looks like a link to the Official RuneScape Forums, however it is not! If you hover over the link, look at the bottom of your browser, you will see where the link actually takes you to. In these scam posts the link will take you to a fake RuneScape site, which is designed to look like the real thing. THIS SITE WILL STEAL YOUR ACCOUNT IF YOU ENTER YOUR PASSWORD!! Please make sure you check all suspicious links, and like JaGEx say all the time, never ever enter your RuneScape password anywhere that doesn't say 'www.runescape.com' in the address bar. EDIT November 15, 2008: Additionally, here is a good topic written by pulli23 that is filled with information that can help you understand how to deal with issues like we have been experiencing on our forums: securing your pc, phishing! Thanks and stay safe! ------------------------------------------------------------- 02/12/2008 UPDATE I've recently got a PM from a user about a fake clan who have stolen their account. The clan is called 'wildguard'. The url is already filtered here, but be wary nonetheless. DO NOT ENTER ANY INFORMATION THERE On their 'Join Us' page, they have a false link to the official forums, where you are required to enter your RuneScape account details. DO NOT ENTER YOUR DETAILS THERE, IT WILL STEAL YOUR PASSWORD! ~The Tip.it Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Log into your account and don't log out. Change your password multiple times and change all your recoveries. Do it as quickly as possible. If you have a PIN you probably don't need to worry about anything that you have in your bank, just whats in your inventory and equipped.

Dexek Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't think I've been fooled.. the topic itself isn't really interesting to me. This might be a good time to disallow private messages and whatnot to be sent to me.

Leoo Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Have you tried IP banning them? I think its more than one person :( Maybe forbid people below 50 post-counts to post links in their posts (is that even possible to control?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Can you make it so the site comes up as [forbiddensite] or whatever? I think leetscape was like this for awhile. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous1234 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Have you tried IP banning them? I think its more than one person :( Maybe forbid people below 50 post-counts to post links in their posts (is that even possible to control?). I think it is, I've seen forums that do that, and also stop you from posting pics before a certain count. Whether or not it is do-able on this particular type of server, I don't know. To the person above, that sounds like a really good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leoo Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ^ I agree. This one has fooled many people, hence I nearly entered my password myself as soon as I noticed that the English/Dutch language icons weren't showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren211 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The idiot scammer named his site "scam site"? :wall: Or was that just edited by the poster? But this scam was bound to trick many people. I'm very paranoid over my account and even I would probably fall for it. As someone else said, there should be a rule to prevent posting links and/or images before a certain post count. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.
