Tim Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i was thinking over it that how do they get personal email addresses and start sending invitation as frequently? it's really annoying.. you have an option in yor settings to display your E-mail. they gather a group of us with close occuring names, For Example: Sora, anything with that in a e-mail gets the message. they tried it on me 2 years ago using a GOOGLE e-mail account.

Papertank487 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This has been going on forever now. Thankfully jagex has made it a lot harder for them to advertise on the actual game, since the censor blocks out .com, www and everything else you could think of.

The Dark Lord Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've never been scammed out of my account before, but I have had a few close calls. Once, I was alching to 99 magic and all of a sudden, Norton pops up and asks if I should allow something to pass through my firewall. It said it was low risk and was called an Xmas Scan or whatever. Anyway, I clicked NO and hopped worlds. I only received this message while I was on Swedish servers. No other windows were open. After every incident, I ran a scan. This isn't really a close call, but some jack [wagon] have PMed me before asking me for my password (had a fake JMod name). I told them to go suck my [bleep] after I reported them and then I put them on ignore. On another site (not any gaming site) I received a PM, asking me to donate to the Nigerian prince or some BS like that. :lol: SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

I told them to go suck my [bleep] after I reported them and then I put them on ignore. My bud got muted for using the alt code censor glitch when he told the pass scammer for [cabbage] himself and that he was a [female dog]...... #-o. Stupid scammer reported him first I guess....

I'm pretty sure RuneScape has a timer, and if your account is logged in for around 5 hours or so in a row, you are automatically logged out?
