Central_Keeper Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Now I finaly remember where I saw the related info on phishing, its here, lol. I posted a thread about how to report hackers in general section, but it seems that one of my friend might have fallen victim to those scamming topic, and now a hacker is using his account doing god knows what. (The hackers just casually told me that he is currently using my friends, or rather, hacking his account now) So I reported the account hopefully get it lock so my friends account dont take further abuse, but is there more of an offical way to report hacked account so they dont get black marks until the rightful owner get them back later on? Someone on the thread mentioned that you can post something on RS forum, and mods might investigate, but how does F2P report hackers then since they have no access to forum? a happy Runescaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaumonde Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Now they're using url shortening services to mask the urls, maybe you should block those too. Stat Progress | Stat Averages | Stat Records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agent83RR Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 THere's plenty of scam sites. Theres one called Mod Edit - Link removed... please use some common sense which is supposedly a clan site and they tell u to click on "join us" which will take u to a fake runescape site which looks exaclty the same. the whole deal is that they want you to sign in to post a comment thus stealing your password and screwing you. They almost had me, but guess what? im too smart for them suckers!! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You know them over-doing it recently is actually a stupid thing by them. The more they do it, the more people learn not to fall for it, and the less people they will get to fall for it. Want to be my friend?

Central_Keeper Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think they tend to aim for that first wave of victim, they know that people will eventually adapt, and thats where they will think new ones, which is bad Again, always use common sense, and just use official link bookmark method. That always works for me a happy Runescaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
