I was PPing for the last lvl and my irl friend called me and told me that a guy called "ss java ss24" said that there was something wrong with his java ip and if he dont answer some questions he would get banned.. he said that the 2 questions he asked was:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. how long have u played on that account?

 

 

 

2. what is the name on your account?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but i told him that jagex only use their own messager and he reported him and wanted me to hold his santa and most of his stuff when he were changing pass... So why does someone want to know how long you have played on a account and whats the name on it when they already added you?

that no-life actually asked your friend his account name? scammers are getting more pathetic by the day :-k

as you know, if theirs a crown you have to double down....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the idea is, if no crown dont listen to them

thats a pretty sad attempt at a scam

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

might wanna put this in the sticky?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did it look that that, by any chance?

yes.. exactly like he told me

Creepy lol

one tie a guy told me i was reported for offensive language and i need to tell him my recovery answers and email to clear up my name, he was in the same world as me and i was near the west varok bank, so i know he was hiding somehwere, i played along for a while and finally found him hiding under the bank, i said still want my pass? and he logged :lol: :P

I just had that happen to me about 5 min ago, except the guy was worker 990 and he asked for my password, and i told him it was h4x0rsrn00bs (hackers are noob, if you can't read it), he came back and told me it was invalid.

 

 

 

After that, I just told him, "You have already been reported for Jagex Impersonation. Have a nice day :D "

i had something like this happen to me. Some guy, named Javamod something, pm'ed me and said if i dont give him my recovery questions and password i would be banned. I kept going along with it, and when he said can i have the pass, i just flamed his chat and logged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, i also reported him first, jut incase you are wondering.

People, read!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are three ways to recognise Jagex Staff:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex Staff characters always have gold crowns next to their names

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex Staff will never ask for a password.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex Staff will never contact you about your account in game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have no 'undercover' staff, we have no need for your password to check your account, and we only communicate with players about account issues via their message center.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feel free to report those who do not follow that rule.

The question shouldn't not be why is this going on, but why does Jagex allow people to create characters with "Java" in the name, knowing most likely people will scam with them.

they cant detect everything #-o

 

 

 

and even if they do have a crown dont tell them personal information :shame:

 

 

 

jagex will always contact u through ur Runescape E-Mail

I don't believe that JaGEx allows the creation of names with "Jagex", "Java", or "Mod" in the name anymore. At least not at the beginning of the name. Try it out and see if any names of that such are avalaible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yea.. that's just a sad attempt at a scam. Seeing as you've reported him, just move on and don't sweat it.

I don't really get that either, wouldn't he already know the name from adding the guy?

yes thats what he asked =S

To answer your question of why your friend was asked for his RS name:

 

 

 

This is a somewhat complicated way to steal your RS account. The dangerous thing is, that it is very successful, and very safe for the hacker. He is able to steal your account and keeps it as Jagex does not find out that the account has been stolen.

If only we could have a rule-breakers gun, THAT would keep servers low in numbers... :-w :-w

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, a rule here on Tip.It is No naming names.
