Is that the message actually received in your private message inbox when you are chosen to be a player moderator? If so, then a player moderator either knowingly or unknowingly aided this scam site.

[Beaumonde]

Maybe the site got you keylogged aswell?

 

 

 

Yeah it was probably a bad idea to follow the link ....

[Deiophobus]

in the future, don't click the link :roll:

Maybe it would be a good idea to black out the scam site url as well, and please crop your images properly next time there rather stretchy.

No, it's completely different from the real mod invite message. However, I have seen e-mail scams which use the message you get when you become a mod word for word, so it's not unheard of mods helping with those things.

The person thats hosting the app on that site isn't the sharpest tool in the box either.

 

 

 

A simple look up on a 'who is' site provides the domain owners full name and postal address.

 

 

 

I guess they can look forward to some interesting mail from Jagex Towers in due course.

 

 

 

 

 

Lol! Owned much :XD:

[sparky1_2007]

When I first was a member back then (before the item protect prayer) I was in the wild near the Mage Bank. Some guy came up to me and ask if I had a lock pick. I said yeah its at the bank. The guy said wait he wants to give me something first (I had a whip equip). So he gave me 3 dragon battle axe and started to attacked me, lol. But I was too smart, I had alching runes with me also so I accepted the trade, then high alch one of his dba, lol. Got me a 2 free dba that day. :twisted:

I was buying obby mauls one day when this guy offered to sell 23 of them at edgeville for 180k each when i offered 230ea. my friend (lvl 59) awesome pker. he came with me to the ditch. i came with a dds and monks robes w/boots of lightness and varrock telly. so we are at ditch, a level 33 is wcing the oaks with his green mask on. my friend and i are at the ditch and my friend said he will buy them for me. the seller refuses. my friend runs 2 levels up and i am following him. The lurer attacks me with ice blitz. it splashes... i unload my specs on him. he blitz me again for a 5 and does more spells, half of which splash and hit under 14. he dds specs me 0-5, 0-1, 10-4, 0-0. i am saying rofl rofl roflcopter the whole time. i telly to varrock when im almost dead and die of poison. i come back to varrock and pick my boots of lightness up (only things i've lost). It turns out that the kid who was the lurer was part of my friend's clan and was kicked out for being a noob. now we see.

I was selling 288 prayer potions (3) for 6k each, and a level 50-something wanted to buy them. He offered 1.8m but seemed reluctant to accepted the trade. Since I wanted to get rid of them quickly, I told him that I would accept 1.7m instead of 1.728m (288 * 6,000). He put up 170k. I decline, but trade again, giving him the benefit of the doubt that it was a typo. However, he put up 170k again, and by now, I knew he was a scammer. He actually admitted it! :lol:

 

 

 

(I actually reported him after the first trade, but I was going to ask Jagex to ignore my report if he wasn't scamming. Turned out he was really a scammer.)

I was just trying to buy ranarr seeds a little while ago and had some noob put up marentill seeds instead. I said, "um, no, ranarr..." and he just logged out and put me on block. Couldn't help but laugh...

[Wee_Man317]

Ok then this is how i lost my account (which is swiftly recovered thank god for recvoeries) well here we go..

 

 

 

Scammer: hey, d you wanna join a clan

 

Me: No not really, im a bit bored of clans for now

 

Scammer: come on its called Team Hydra, they are like exiled

 

Scammer: I pk with both of them.

 

Me: *sure can't hurt to check it out*

 

Me: ok then, you got a thread on forums?

 

Scammer: Yeh we have

 

 

 

*i look on forums for them*

 

 

 

Me: i cant find your post on forums

 

Scammer: :S really?, kk add me on MSN...*crappy msn account*

 

Me: *erm...ok, what harm can adding him do?*

 

 

 

Anyways he sends me this link...i follow it to this site...

 

I cant believe i fell for it though really... It didnt even look like the RS forums sign in...anyways i *logged in* to be greeted with a *invalid user name or password* the second i hit the enter button i knew i was gonna be hacked

 

 

 

Scammer: come to world 84 for your free Ahrims supply.

 

 

 

By now i definatly knew.

 

I tried to change my password quickly, i withdrew all of my stuff to trade to a friend. and then what happened....I only went a bloody LAGGED out!!!! So he got around 15-20m off my account :wall: :wall:

 

 

 

On the brightside...i recovered my account quickly leaving me around 1m in items ...luckily and my fighter torso, i really wouldnt have got that again lol, too much effort.

 

 

 

But hey...its not that bad...next day i kill 5 steel drags for the first time ever...then....I nearly died of shock for what could i see but a DRACONIC VISAGE lying there on the floor:P so its not all bad

 

 

 

Still really cant believe i fell for that though !!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

:wall: :wall: :wall:

[Woofkittens]

[LonexWolfe]

Almost fell for the full veracs trick where they switch out veracs helm or brassy and put in another skirt... My friend was recently scammed the same way when buying full sara, they switched out plate and put in another set of legs I believe.

 

 

 

SO be careful when you're buying full sets!
