What the fuck.

[thea106]

okay. so i get an email from jagex saying they think i participated in RWT.
i try logging in to my account but the password doesn't work. My password was NEVER given out to anyone, and ol'y ONE person besides myself knew the username. I sent a recovery that night before I went to bed and woke up the next morning to find my cash and all my items GONE. Oddly, my stats were okay (i was a def pure). I know 30m is not much, but i lost everything i had on that account, my only account, and have no means to purchase more gold.

sad face.

Was it: runescape.lol.admin.login.kk.cool.com?
If so, you just got phished.

 

[The Don Kiluminati]

Oh my God.

Did you not look at the address bar when you clicked that phishing link?

 

[thea106]

well i'm pretty sure i didn't. this is what happened. i first got an email for jagex saying i've been infracted for macroing. i clicked it and signed in. it was legit. i checked my appeals and it said my macroing infraction had been quashed. i was happy. like 8 hours later i get an email saying i've been accused of RWT. i click the link to sign in, but the link didn't work. so then i typed in runescape.com manually, but when i tried to sign in my password didn't work

 

[Peetu]

The first email you got was a phisher.

 

[thea106]

is it okay if i post the link? cuz i think it was legit

[thea106]

[WastedRabbit]

ROFL, runitescape.

 

[Kristian4th]

Yeah it's quite convincing, it's runeITE.com instead of runescape, there's another which is ruinscape.com, both very convincing, just be on the lookout for them.

 

[thea106]

WOW DUDE. holy shit.
how the fuck did i not see that.
jesus fucking christ. they fucking got me.
FML.

 

[Louis]

You got phished. Don't be so stupid in future.

 

[thea106]

You got phished. Don't be so stupid in future.

Gawn phishin'?

They get the best of us. Oh, and by the way, they would never say "RWTing." That's unprofessional.

Also, if anyone can answer this, please do. How the hell do they make it look like it is coming from Jagex Ltd. Support Team? I even click reply through my browser and it sends me there. I don't see how they can do that?

[-Auzzie-]

make sure u change all your passwords and stuff just in case.

 

[bambino_91]

people were giving warnings about this!!!

many times

go check the many threads people posted many many times

You should be more careful

 

[Austintheman]

You guys are so stupid. Who the hell falls for this stuff nowadays? I have no sympathy for whoever gets phished, because if they're that dumb they shouldnt be on RS.
For future reference, look at the LINK. It's usually a . tk website..

 

[my hairy balls]

honestly how dumb do you gotta be to get phised?

 

[CarbonJames]

It wasnt legit, it was as very good looking phisher
