PainInMyToe Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 A friend of mine has recently got ripped off by a real life friend of his. He's 10, and must have thought he could trust his friend with his password. I've tried to tell him about fansites and to read up on all the things that are against the rules, like account sharing, etc, but he's 10, and doesn't listen. Anyway, so he logs in one day and finds his only 3m gone, bank emptied and everything, which he worked so long for. And his real life friends account suddenly gets full Dharoks (I bet the kid already had some cash). Easy to see that his friend (whos at the same school) ripped him off. Whats the best way to resolve this? My initial thoughts were that some d-bag has ripped off my friend and I would force him to give the cash back, in a slightly threatening manner. But, once my anger passed, I wanted to honestly try and figure out how to help out. Anyone have any suggestions? It was also a good lesson for him to not share his password. I was wondering, has anyone been scammed by a real life friend? How did you handle it? Please discuss. OT: About my post count, I've been a tif lurker before which is why it's so low :P.

Imalilranger Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 how did he get he cash to his account... with the trade limits...??? Unless your RSN is "imalil[bleep]er", please keep the title appropriate. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouwzie Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm wondering how he could transfer it all so fast. I don't think the new BH is that effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksonic45 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 how did he get he cash to his account... with the trade limits...??? Lol you beat me to it. Also why didn't he have a bank pin number? He could share his account all he want but if he had a bank pin it probably wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time when you smite out your trick partner you get their cash so he must have done that with either multilogging or having some other friend die to him.

Polodevil Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You don't have any proof at all. I fear you can do nothing about it, some people just need to learn the hard way. And no, I've never been scammed/ripped by an IRL friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest User Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You don't have any proof at all. I fear you can do nothing about it, some people just need to learn the hard way. I'm afraid this is true. All I can suggest is that your friend changes his password, sets up a bank pin, and starts again. Ask Bruce Wayne why we fall down :) . P.S. Has he been inside the Security Stronghold. The questions are annoying, but he would have been informed. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampbellMC Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Lets see, he is playing underaged, admits to account sharing and was stupid enough to give his password to a kid that wasnt his friend, and doesn't have a pass set. There is nothing he can/should do except blame himself for being so stupid and come back in 3 years time when he is allowed to play the game.

Drow4 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Firstly, to everyone saying you can't play when you are 10..yes you can. It is perfectly fine now to play when you are 10 you will just be restricted to QuickChat. I also agree there is no proof and it would be best if you took no action.

The Observer Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 With them being so young, unfortunately most of the time they aren't exposed to these type of situations, so I'd actually say it's a positive thing. There's really not much you can do because doing something such as threatening whoever did it won't get the items back, so I'd just say lesson learned.

meili Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It happen even to older people. There's nothing you can do since there is no proof. Just because his friend suddenly got Dharoks means nothing. He could just say he got it off legit from BH. There is nothing you *should* do for revenge anyway. I wouldn't suggest hitting another person over 3m RS gp. Just help your friend get more money.

walka92 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 if you are 100% sure of who did it, hurt them. then discipline the kid who was hacked aswell, for being such an idiot that he was able to be hacked, and playing when hes too young I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
