I lost my bgs, fury, d legs, torso (noooo), and almost all of my bank went from 400m to 1.4m in around 45 mins.

Tbh the FBI don't care about your Runescape account. You made the global announcements though man! Congratulations :lol: Not true. Yes, they don't care about runescape, but ANY form of phishing is ILLEGAL in the United States, and you can be charged with fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I got that PM too, but since it said that I would get banned from the community if I didn't answer it and that I know that the tip.it crew are nice people, I knew that it would steal my pass. I was trying to do too many things at once & only skim read the PM - that was my 1st mistake!!! Rule #1 of life, if you can't multitask; don't.

Otherwise, the site looked exactly the same. And to the moron right above me, we all mess up at some point so you don't have to be a jerk about it to those of us who do.

warren211 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think we should just restrict chicken feather users more. There's no such thang as a player who just joined the site to send a pm to over 100 people with good intentions. If you ask me, you should be able to earn your right to send pm's: Get a post count of 100 first, then you can send AND receive pm's. before that, you can't do either. This will prevent hackers from joining the site and hacking dozens of accounts in one go, as well as preventing new site joiners from falling victim to these pm's they receive in their inbox. [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. I own. http://linkagg.com/ Not my site, but a simple, budding site that links often unheard-of websites that are amazing for usefulness and fun.

bem26 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Not so much the restricting of pm's as perhaps hyperlinks in the messages. If those were disabled that would help, but it's not that the scam was good, we just messed up, this is the first time my account has ever been hacked and the timing happened to be spot on when I didn't bank my stuff, had they waited five minutes they would have gotten nothing -.- . They could perhaps restrict the amount of pm's to go off from an account in a day or something like that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
