Phishing

[Zezx]

May i make this clear (And what i do Outside of sythe is my own business)
I do not consider it scamming And it is NOT ILLEGAL unless money is involved I have read countless things about it and have been phising for a few years now , I Know what you can and cant do and i would just like people to stop commenting on phising itself when you obliously know nothing about it , before you even say anything i am talking about spam posts like phising sucks etc.

Phishing is illegal. Period. Chances are, you're a script kiddy that found how to host an html page on a free server.

What if the account you phished was a member before? They paid 5 dollars... So isn't money involved then?

Phishing does not only have to do with runescape, And Runescape would probably be the hardest(If possible at all) to prosecute someone for since it's dealing with virtual goods.

Responding to daily:

I was only suggesting this because I have answered a number of threads asking if phishing is allowed.

 

[Zezx]

yes but i do not steal the account (which they spent the money on) i simply Take the cash leave a mil or two on it and leave i never change the passes

Congrats on admitting you're a scammer.

Congrats on admitting you're a scammer.

Report him / this should be locked / BAd idea btw

 

[i heart str]

I agree that this should be more pronounced and known.

 

[i noob killer i]

agree it should be more pronounced

 

[floatyboaty]

Yee, Phishing is just generally illegal

So I suppose sythe dont have to tell you that its against rules, its like hacking is illegal but it doesnt say anything about that in the rules?

 

[Zimmm]

In the rules I believe it stats that you can't bring anything illegal onto this forum.

 

[First Hitted]

I agree as well that they should emphasize that phishing isn't tolerated specifically instead of only saying scamming

 

[MorbidIxxl]

I believe when we sell runescape goods (or time) that could be interpreted as copyright infringment, as well as the runescape images people use on here for their shops etc. So there is actually some illegal activity going on in here...

 

[demonavenger]

Phishing would be illegal. In many cases this falls under the scamming rule, it is more than obvious that it would not be allowed here because it is illegal, as well is a form of scamming.

Good job mate... just repeat the same information that daily had just mentioned...

One thing, think to your self...
For someone who has the intentions of phishing/scamming peoples accounts, do you really think they would even take note of this, better yet even read the rules?

This isn't really needed towards the people who want to be an honest/active member to the community of sythe... but should be acknowledged to all sythe members that there is phishing sites out there, and that we should be careful when signing into sythe from a link via msn, email or even pm...

Responding to daily:

^ WTF?@#! who would even ask such a question, people who had common sense would know better, these people you are talking about are just simply idiots... "Is phishing allowed?"... *sigh* what retards...

^ LOL, nicely done mate... looks like your banned

 

[enezero]

Good suggestion i never even knew that it was against the rules till now seen many people post like "paying for someone to make a phising site".

 

[ATPclan]

Agreed!

 

[mike_w_99]

Well, you do have to be prety dumb to log on a phishing, but they do have that legal agreement when u sign up, asking if you came here to scam people. It is a legal contract so yeah.

 

[Your RS Helper]

ROFL at half the people being banned in this thread.

Anyways, if your stupid enough to put your pass in, its your fault.

 

[jd 365]

If its not obvious enough.... But yes for those morons who try to post phishing sites its just like scamming, I agree lets try to make it more known that there is no phishing on sythe.org

 

[lollerman]

i agree with the OP we dont wanna attract anything worse than jagex officials to these forums

 

[mike_w_99]

Lol, ive read this thread and cant help but notice all the banned/temp banned people. But, i do agree that they should have some type of rule against it as it is really going around right now.

 

[Tru3 Mast3r]

it needs to be put out there a little better so all users can plainly see that it is Illegal and can get you banned.

 

[Liam_]

i can see why they dont allow it but it doesent bother me as the person is stupid enuf to put there pass in tbh

Agreed.
