pryomancer Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 This is why we can't just wordfilter the scam website, because the scammer uses the technique that DenUsynlige just showed us. The forum filters words in the post that we all see, not what happens when we go to edit the post. The best I can hope for is just to educate everyone so no-one gets tricked by it.

BlueLancer Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 For your own sakes, before trusting a random person with 1 post, hover your mouse over the link in any standard web browser. It will show you the true URL. If it deviates from the original, just don't click on it especially if it takes you to a site such as "runsscapeforumz.freeeehost.com/login.html" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salad Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ohhhh I'm not so happy about this. I'm gonna take the next week to do the super-mega-salad170 computer clean-up, only did it once but it worked fine, only took super long. Also I feel smart that I stopped my hanging with friends with expensive stuff to go play stealing creation, timing ftw :pray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoMM88 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Such sites do not keylog you. They are called phishers and they only steal your acc name and password. I personally have copies of phishers too - I can just upload them, make a domain rmnescape.com and start spamming it. It actually is a fast way to scam accounts. Only reason why I don't do it is because I hate scammers and thus I never scam. My goals: [b]5M coins:[/b] 4350K+ coins 200k+ items - 2 dec 5M coins - 16 dec I [b]have gotten[/b] my 5M by christmas. -bah this is only here for historical purposes now, I got 20m+ already "fail,well atleast the title,i wont read it with that colours""If you hadn't posted in rainbow I would actually give this a proper read""Colours suck."*I remove colours*"Where did all the colors go!? This is now 40% more likely to be tl;dr'd due to the lack of colors." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. really there isn't a possibility to filter a link itself and not only "name" of the link? When it's filtered, like now, it's impossible for anybody to get scammed. If you click on the link it will just take your browser to an URL like "[scamurl]" and you get a 404 error. I will use the filtered link & the address "trick" as an example to demonstrate the point: http://www.runescape.com/forum As you see, now if you hover your mouse over the link, it will show the censored one instead, and nobody is fortunately at risk.

Sunli Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Jagex warns us multiple times never to enter our passwords on any other site then http://www.runescape.com Bookmark it and only use that link when you visit the main forums.

Jimmyw3000 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 lol, thanks to my f2pness, i never bother clicking links like those as they lead to rsof, where i never go/read/post anyway. besides, I look before i click like most sensible people so i'd have seen the link going to www.scamsite.com <-probably filtered in my browser's bottom left corner. anyway, thanks for the heads up. Anyway, a good tip from me: Look before you click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123_x_pac Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 What can they actually steal? I mean even if you've done all the quests you can only give away 60k and you cant even do that unless the person you are giving away to also has done all quests. Is there any point in "hacking" people's characters anymore? They could sell it for cash in real life...Or to piss the person who their hacking off.

123_x_pac Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Unfortuantly, there might not be a way unless you take legal action. I don't even know if the guy can be tracked.

I think the guy can be traced. My friend got hacked, and he said if he had been with his dad, (as he knew who hacked him), he would have sent him so much (you fill in the blank \ ), and even hacked his comp,so I think tracing would not be a big problem... also, my browser states the website, does not block it. and how do you put in a link to ur guide (wrong thread, I know, but I forgot how lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonavolaii Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's very important to check the link BEFORE you click it, its possible with javascript to stick an image of the text "http://runescape.com" over the actual adress bar, or even change the text, in the latter case, the website could look ABSOLUTLEY like the official site, even the address bar... So watch out, if something doesn't seem right, right-click, go to properties ("view page info" for firefox), and check out where the page comes from... trust me, its not that hard to replicate the runescape website to the letter...
