meesa Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Well... I got the last straw today. I have a total of 2 friends on runescape. Make that one now. I had taken a short break from runescape since april (when my sister got married)... family stuff going on, summer got chaotic. Anyways, I finally got another 3 months of membership a few days ago, which meant I could actually play, because I had some bank space. I never really posted much here... quiet guy in runescape... usually asked questions when I needed to, gave out a few sets of mith to noobs who needed help... mentored one guy until he was higher level than me, who then proceeded to kill me in wild, taking 900k+ of my stuff. Needless to say, that friendship ended in the blink of an eye. :wall: Since April, I've had about 2 friends. They were nice... said hi, we met sometimes, gave each other gifts, etc. Until I logged on today. One of my "friends" was on, and pm'd him saying hi. He didnt answer. Then he said "check your bank". I did. I had just bought 22k pure ess and a bunch of glories to make some nats. Ess and glories gone. I had a few misc worthless things I had kept from selling that were still in my bank (dds, stuff like that). He said, "I did it. Just wanted to let you know"; then he logged off. :cry: Well, thats the end of it. Jagex, enjoy my 3 months worth of members cash. I just don't feel like starting over again... I gave my last friend my dds lol... the last thing in my bank worth more than 30k. :( I'm sure none of you know who I am, but I guess thats just the way I am. RIP bagpiperdude: lvl 76 combat, almost 1,000 total lvl. That was a goal I had... but I just don't feel like it. g'bye tipit. its been fun runescape. :boohoo: > off to bed... I'll check this thread in the morning I guess... edit: no need to reply really... just saying good bye. If you really wanna say bye, even though you never knew me, thats fine. But don't feel like you need to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticaznone Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My question is, how did your friend "hack" you? If he could really hack, he wouldn't do it for 22k pure ess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made0f12une Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYY! no really, it's good your moving on from rs, I wish I could. Im not an addict or anything but I just cant give it up. I stay for the people I guess. Thats rather unfortanate, I had a hefty amount of money taken from me from one of my closest friends. I never quit though, because theres more friends out there. You just gotta start over, pick yourself up and get back on your feet. Trust me enjoy the p2p, enjoy the game, enjoy your friends. Theres a bucnh of good guys here on the forums. (Meridtihla, Malo, WolfHunter, Mirrorforced, Ashmad, Caskade and many others!) Post your user name, get back in the game and we'll all be there for you. Dont give up beause of a little scam, trust me, the friends are much more worth it then the pixels. ^^ClicK^^"I backed my car into a cop car the other dayWell he just drove off sometimes life's ok...Alright already we'll all float onAlright don't worry we'll all float on" - Isaac BrockDays Hunting:4 - Kingly Imps Caught:2Money Earned: 4.5-5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elishot Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Well unless he keylogged you which i doubt you must have given him your pass at some time. Or he guessed your recoverys :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathrox Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 did you not have a bank pin, as i say to other people all the time, don't give out your pass or bank pin!!! run regular keylogger checks and you really have to do something silly to get "hacked" like telling people your pass or bank pin. Use the facilities that JAGEX provide to protect your account and dont tell anybody anything. this is not meant to be a lecture and i really am sorry you lost a bunch of stuff but i hear about people getting "hacked" all the time and i just dont understand how they LET it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elk Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I find it hard to feel sympathy for you when you quite obviously gave your 'friend' enough information to answer your recovery questions, or even enough information to guess your pass... :roll: Yes I am a girl. No, I won't be your girlfriend. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty certain that it works.. doesnt always work with complex keyloggers, most key loggers miss ASCII keys and "symbols" and they usually mis #pad keys...the thing is tho, keyloggers get better and better and im sure by now those things i listed are much more common then when i was intouch with keyloggers(played with a few to learn how to protect my computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transcript80 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Aw man that's sad. I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear that tip.it community supports you. Or at least some of them :oops: . I'm also curious how it happened. It once agian stresses the importance of passwords, recovery questions and bank pins (and not sharing them). Sad you had to learn the hard way. I'll support you, though. Don't quit! You have paid $15 for this! Enjoy it while you can. Work on your skills to get them in the high scores. With that, you'll reach your 1000 total goal and make some money as well. You'll be on your feet in no time! Else oyou can fish lobbies to earn some cash and buy what you need. Let this be a lesson and a new impulse to do even better from now on! See you back on the patch... Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...

Gunnit7 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Its pathetic how low some people will go for money. :roll: BUT you shouldnt have given the pass or enough info to somehow get onto the account.. I don't even let my own brother know my password, yes thats right, i want my account as safe as i can possibly make it. Even if i dont play anymore. :wink: Pier pressure? I can just see you being threatened by a wharf or jetty because you're a teleporter. Yes, I can see a large wooden wharf uprooting itself from the shore, walking over to you and slapping you in the back of the head for teleporting.:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
