Teh Combos Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Okay there are alot of different topics that have come up, and has greatly effected the game of runescape more than ever with the release free trade and old wilderness earlier on in the year. One unfortunate issue which continues to sadden me everytime i go to open up my email inbox is Phising. Phising is where people will try and hack your accounts by sending you false links to their websites, and try to get you to enter in your runescape details and information so that they can steal your items/money/account. (basic way of phising/definition, there are alot more ways of phising) A few months after free trade, i wasn't 100% aware about these sort of emails, and fell victim to one, losing nearly 2bill wealth, and eventually getting my account back after a week of it being hacked. Ever since then i've tried i've created a new email folder called "Phising Emails" and i've just posted my phising emails that i keep receiving, just to see how far these fags go just to get some pixels. The pictures above are just emails i've collected from a while ago, i've deleted most of them, but i think i've received around 100+ i continuosly receive phising emails on a daily basis. Also i got 2 emails from battlenet (WoW) saying that i've tried to sell my account, which i haven't so i instantly knew that it was a phising email, this is also becoming sad. Uploaded with ImageShack.us In my opinion, this game is getting destroyed bit by bit, and it's really sad to see, as for a game that i love to play, and had so much experiences and fun on, getting wrecked by idiots like this. Jagex aren't even trying to do anything about phising as far as i am concerned which means they don't give a shit aslong as their bank accounts are stocked up on money. I'd like to hear what other people think about this, so i thought it was topic :p
Feast Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 its the net, there are always going to be people like this just keep ur wits about you
Dannhyz Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 i cant believe you actually opened some of these mails there is an message system in runescape itself, they dont email you to tell you that you are banned etc. (only when you get loyalty points they email u but thats not interesting)
Trendy Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Be like me don't read any emails from Jagex :P,
Boris Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Use a different email for your account and don't register on any other site with that mail. U won't get mails anymore so u won't fall for it again.
antO Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 don't create your future rs account with your personal email. gg rs.
Olen Vajaa Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 don't create your future rs account with your personal email. gg rs.
Bamf Pure Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I agree, idiots can't get their own money/accounts so they have to phish, pathetic.

M1ni Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I have never gotten a phishing email b/c no one knows the email linked to my account :lol: .

I know man, but why would you open an Jagex mail if you know that its a phish mail.. =p I mean he got 3 emails in 3 days saying his account has been placed in danger zone why would you even still continue opening the emails?
Broken Hitz Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I have the same email for everything and i have never got a phishing email.

If you think it's fake BECAUSE you know you haven't sold it, then that's just stupid. why would they e-mail in the 1st place? I got WoW e-mails when I didn't even play the game, derp? :p
Mitch`` Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I didn't realise people actually fell for that kind of stuff lol... I mean i get about 1-2 a day but they usually go to my junk/spam. Oh well. That sucks i suppose.

But well.. Even if they send this too 1000 people and only phish one, they won their game I guess..
ph0ne Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 only happens to new kids who made an account after email log in.
Teh Combos Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 Ph0ne can't quote you, since I'm on my iPod, but I've had my account since '05? It's started since free trade.
