LupZu Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 This happened to me, I was idiotic but I learnt from my mistake anyways, I recovered my account back thanks to recoveries, the person also tried to delete my bank PIN, but that's why I have them, if you haven't already I suggest you set recoveries and a bank PIN.

pryomancer Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 UPDATE:   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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryomancer Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 All you need to do is just check everything before you go rushing in and enter your details/download things.   Most hacking/stealing info problems can probably be prevented just by being a bit more cautious.

Master_Smither Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well I decided to have one of the tech guys at my school check out their links and such and he confirmed that they are not using keyloggers in conjunction with them trying to lure you into posting your account details. So now I'd hover over every single link not made by someone well known on these forums. This is just a sad effort that they are doing I hope they all get whats coming to them.
