Any phishing sites?

[wastecadet]

Can someone link me (in the thread or via PM) to a working phishing site?

People keep talking about them, and i'm worried ill fall for one. Can anyone show me one that works really well/has a high scam rate, just so i know what to look out for?

Heres an email I got a week ago, containing a decent looking phish (Do NOT enter your info in the link below):

Its easy to spot phish sites because you have a green confirmation bar in your address bar when logging into the official runescape site, no phishes will have that.

He may have lost the embedded URL when he copied the email over. Or, you may be right...

 

[wastecadet]

Yeah, i think that's what happened...

there seems to be a big RS email phishing epidemic atm, i'd love to see that site, I'm doing a study on phishing sites at the mo, and it seems to be a big problem within rs

I think you want to see it so you can leech and phish yourself.

how would i do that? I've got a paper to write about "ethical problems that arise with modern technology" so i thought i'd do about people stealing over the internet.. i can't exactly write without seeing what i'm contending with

If you go to youtube and search moderator applictions for rs im sure you'll find some dodgy links. Take caution though; don't run anything or click any pop ups, and dont enter details.

nice little example for you

can we not talk about this here? stealing personal information is a very sketchy thing to talk about. Basically, if any site offers you pmod or anything else that doesnt say runescape.com at the top, its a scam

A general rule of thumb I use is unless I typed in the URL or used my frequently visited links on chrome, I DO NOT enter any info. I have been phished before and wont let it happen again. I think Java drive bys are worse though, just since all you have to do is click run..

 

[Runedevian]

well good luck with that...

Thread reported. Phishing discussion especially like what Runedevian did, is not allowed at all...

 

[KerokeroCola]

No reason to discuss phishing, no matter what reasons. Further looking will warrant a ban.
