I got nailed by the same thing so don't feel too bad lol. 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. Im annoyed but not angry I also think its safe to say we all learned a very important lesson today, always read the address bar -.-

OH MY GAWSH!!! thank goodness i didnt get this PM. i would have been terribly depressed because i wud have lost my stuff on my account... :cry: have we found out the main source of these PM's?

Phishing

 

 

 

All I can say is lol

 

and

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: When they get arrested by the FBI for phishing.

 

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.

I never got the Pm. I guess it's because my stats aren't good enough for pking. -.-

i got this as well....cleaned my bank out of 80 mil....and i even had a pin.....so that didn't help if they got past it and i didn't put my pin on that site either....

[hide=]This is the PM:

True, but what if they're not in the US... what then? :o

 

 

 

Also the so called FBI are going to be looking for REAL phishers, the ones that scam people out of real money not pixels.

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. D:

This same message was sent to me two months ago by a different user. Didn't click on the link though.

Never even click on an email that comes from an addresse you don't know.

Haha. I got this too. Called him a loser and left it at that.

What a useless topic.

What a useless topic.

 

 

 

What a useless comment - nice increase to post count.

How is this a useless topic, had I seen this I wouldn't have clicked the link. My guess is it probably saved at least one person. As for the people he did get to it is our own fault, but as I said earlier, we all learned a valuable lesson.

I got that message aswell, but I couldn't be bothered to click on the link. I'm glad I didn't ^-^

 

 

 

Ps. I got an Easter Egg today from my Auntie :D

It's more then just the U.S though.

 

As I said ANY form of phishing is illegal.

 

A person in Europe was arrested for fraud because he stole a "virtual mask" and a "virtual sword" using a phishing website according to the news report.

I got the message, but it was edited so I couldn't click on anything.

 

 

 

I was curious on what the site looked like though. :-k

What a useless topic.

Yes, I care alot about my post count and want to get it as high as possible, it's what I live for.

If you are stupid enough to click it, then you should get hacked.

I got the message, but it was edited so I couldn't click on anything.

It looked just like the runescape page except for the login applet didn't have the jagex lock on it which really should have screamed don't do it at us. 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.

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.

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.

Ironic, calling me a moron while you are being the stupid one here.

Source plox?

I'm insulted. I didn't get this scam PM? Do those hackers think I'm some sort of poor noob? :evil:

 

 

 

Nah, jk, I'm glad I didn't get it. :lol:

 

 

 

But you know, stuff like this happens. It's just how ready you are.

Hoo boy, you got lucky! It's a good thing there's no RWT options available to people anymore. . .
