well my friend saw me typing in my pass and took my acc for 3 years but im finaly back

 

 

 

i lost sum phat sets and a few xmass crackers

My brother got keylogged by a friend, but because of the bankpin he didn't lose much.

 

 

 

The 'friend' however lost his own account when some other friend he keylogged took revenge.

 

 

 

My brother certainly learned a thing or 2 about account safety because of it.

kill him :D or just let it go n help your nephew get some more armour

My brother, who is 12, had his account taken over by a not-so-good friend from school. We still dont know exactly how he got the password. My brother logged on with my little sister thru her account after he couldnt log into his own. They told me not to trust the person logged in under my brothers rs name. Once I realized what happened I contacted the person and he pretended to be my brother. However, he didnt realize that i was on to the fact that he was an imposter. he kept trying to get me to give him my password before he would give back my brothers account. We went round and round for hours like this getting no where. Then i realized that my brothers password was still the one he choose. I quickly changed the password before the other kid did. After a few more hours the kid finally logged out of my brothers account.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After I lectured my brother about internet saftey and not giving out any info ever, I gave him his new password. He was very happy to learn that his bank items were still there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, a few days later the same person told me he was with jaxex and that i won 1 free year of members playing. He also said I won 1 million in gp. I knew who he was from my brother telling me his rs name and reported him. Hopefully he was banned.............

if anyone did that to ME, I would go over to where they live and cause them 3 hours of endless pain and torment. then I would MAKE them give my stuff back, on their computer, with the promise of more pain unless they agree. Barbed wire gloves are very effective.

You know uber_dad, you could call your brother and have him call to that hacker_wanna_be_kids dad and tell him what his son has been up to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if my kid did something like that i sure would want to know, then i'd make him give the stuff back with apologies and evidently ban him from computer for 2 years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i know, toughloving got me like this :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but do not help your nephew at the moment he asks for rune armor, even though it's cheap and all just let him recover himself from it. like many others have said he has to learn his lesson and get rid of naive views, world is a tough place to grow up in...

I cant believe some of the posts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"he took this and that, but were friends now :)"

 

 

 

I wouldnt even say hi to them. Id spit in their face. this is pathetic... how the hell can you be friends with someone who stole something that took years for you to earn?

ur newphew has to learn a lesson, but i would suggest giving him like 50k or less so he can use that to buy w/e so he can earn his own money back and wont give his password out

Thanks everyone. I got a lot of good feedback here. I'm not giving him rune armour for a replacement. I've mentioned to him a number of times that things his frields were doing on RS were wrong, but it wasn't sinking in. I think he gets that now (he's my nephew BTW, not my brother :) )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given his (and his friends) age, I know they are going to do doofy things. Now, if he stole something other then pixels, we'd have a different story, but I think this one is going to go in the "Lessons Learned" pile. I'll point him to tip.it one more time and leave it at that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again for all the input.

lol my best m8(well second best) actully admited he stole my air staff (i ws really nooby lvl 10) and i beat him up there on the spot and we were in the pe changeing rooms and gt told off plus after school detention but i ws really impresed about the staff that i spent all my cash on lol

Well here's what I would do in the situation. Your nephew being 9 years old needs to take this as a lesson learned, and the reason I say this is that the other kid being 9 would not admit to having stole the armor, but if you do bail your nephew out on this then at his age it'll make him believe that if he has any problems there will always be there to bail him out. You said he didn't listen you tried to help him, well this may help him learn about account safety, and rules a bit better. I am very sorry that your nephew had a rl friend so low as to do this, but I think it really does have a moral behind this. Try and talk to your nephew about runescape safety again, and help him learn all this so that it doesn't happen again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember the old proverb,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can give a man a fish, and feed him for a day, or you can teach a man to fish, and feed him for a life time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do what you feel is best, but this is the way I would have handled the situation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off Topic, About the fish thing, i prefer this version:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life

that sux, but make him learn his lesson, he needs to work hard, maybe give him a job so he can work for you and earn enough money for a new full rune

I started playing RS when my neighbor told me about it. So naturally we both started accounts and what not and we'd start sort of a friendly competition. Like he'd get a rune med and show it off and I'd get all defensive and do my hardest to get one... you know how it goes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We knew each other pretty well and eventually I think he figured out my recovery questions because I logged on one day and found all my stuff was gone. I hadn't downloaded anything...I hadn't given my password to anyone so I was pretty sure he had done it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, that was a long time ago... We're still friends but neither of us play anymore lol. :wink:

Burn a man a fire, keep him warm for a night, set a man on fire, keep him warm for his life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic. Try speaking to the kid or well getting your nephew to speak to him..
