A warning to stop renting max mains to anyone who is.

I'd like to warn people of something that is going on when users are renting max mains.

Someone back in February mass rented mains and added a stolen credit card/debit card to them and purchased TONS of jcoins on the mains.

Today I received a notice of over a $250 balance due on my max mains because this fucktard disputed the payments for the jcoins basically locking the mains until the balance has been paid.

I would advise everyone to be wary of this scam and keep a SHARP lookout for this going on, even if I had caught it I wouldn't of been able to stop it.

This is unbelievable and scummy as it comes, there are these guys going around renting peoples mains and mass buying jcoins via stolen cards and then we are taking the damage their causing, there is no purchasing cap by jagex so people may drop your mains $2k in the hole without u even KNOWING IT.

This guy waited OVER A MONTH to dispute the jcoin charges, your mains may already be completely fucked and you aren't even aware of it.

I'd be worried if I was anyone who rents mains, I know I've immediately stopped after this happening tonight.

You can contact jagex support and try to claim you were hacked but I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

Scum will be scum, you've been warned, I'd stop renting.

 

Damn, sorry to hear this happened to you, thanks for the heads up though.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Not good at all.

 

The card would be blacklisted now so I doubt it would happen again

 

Wouldn't count on that, CC details are pretty cheap

 

Got the balance wiped off the account by jagex support.

Ty jagex.

 

Is renting worth it?

 

app not

 

Thats extremely important, thanks a lot for the information, basicly it defeats the purpose of renting anything, staking team etc

 

I been inactive on renting but thank you for the warning, holy shit.

 

Renting accounts is stupid anyways. All the major 1.1x stakers lick their chops when rented accounts log in. The vast majority have been added to peoples "Whale" list. I cant tell you how many times I've watched users rent one of Pie's maxed mains only for them to get cleaned by Pie or his entourage. They're not doing anything wrong. They just have the advantage of knowing its an rented max main and most likely a whale on it.

 

What do you mean by whale?

 

When you bet large amounts of money its difficult to find callers above 500m+. A lot of max main renters who do bet big end up whaling it. They dont have the patience to wait for a 50/50 caller. So they give 1.1x odds to stakers who usually end up cleaning them in the end. Most big time stakers know what accounts are rented mains and keep tabs on them. You guys dont understand the disadvantage you have when staking in the duel arena. It's all about information and having the right accounts. Some of these guys have 40+ accounts with 10+ logged in at all times. I myself run insiders and outsiders mostly. I dont fuck with the 1.1er's because I dont have a 20k+ bankroll. Understand every single duel you go in is usually being watched by 10+ stakers. They have "whale watchers" set along the arena to see if you win or lose. They usually also know the exact person you're staking. It becomes a competition and sometimes gets ugly. Thus comes in the tweeting. Stakers who "snipe" a "whale" from another known staker usually end up tweeting one another. It's a vicious cycle and the only winner is jagex. Usually they just ban wave you and anyone involved. I've seen it multiple times unfortunately. Most importantly do you think you're at an advantage stakcing users who spend 20+ hours a day at the arena for 2+ years? Normally I wouldnt give this kind of info. However it doesnt matter. People are stupid and will continue to whale.

 

Holy shit, I didn't think there was this much to the duel arena. That's crazy, thank you for the detailed response man.

 

Crazy shit lol. In the end though isn't it still 50/50 odds? Why would it matter if they see you win or lose? The odds might be in your favour when they "snipe" you. And why do you avoid 1.1ers, are they at an advantage?

@ OP sorry for being off topic.

 

It's in their odds because they're making you X. You put up 1b 07 they put up 910m 07. Its all about the EV. If you cant figure it out from here you're on your own.

 

damn never really thought of it that way. fuck me

 

Damn that is low...
