epitaph_o Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 They didn't actually steal your identity so it's not identity theft. Glad to hear you got it back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulxai Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 There's a difference between identity theft and logging in to your Runescape account. He didn't commit identity theft, and to be honest, you can't do anything to this guy at all. Unless you know who did it (which I'm leaning towards that one, because hackers won't waste their time on a Runescape Account unless they're bored), you can't really do anything. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulxai Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 well will his ip address not help? Not really, I mean...you can give it to the FBI and they can try to trace him...but they won't bother with nothing important. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm not sure that you can actually do anything about it... I would suggest doing a virus scan etc etc in case you have a keylogger or something RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I did have a link to an IP finder where you could write in the IP and it would locate the house/area the person was using it from. Dont think it would help getting anything done about it though. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

But unless you know them IRL, don't do anything. PM me for fitocracy invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
