To all Attempting Phishers

[wackywamba]

I realize this article is a little old, but with this sudden influx of these phising emails, I'd like to send this out as a warning. People do get caught and it does become serious.

For those of you who just want a good ol' lol, take a read:

Wow this is on BBC? I ignored all of them, didn't fall for the trick, but I'm surprised where they got the mails from.

Edit:

Current underground exchange rates suggest that 2m Runescape gold costs about £6 ($10).

Lmfao.

Well, goodfight. I lol'd.

 

[thisisgood]

I laughed slightly

Most phishers are just script kiddies;

They don't know that there is no difference from stealing Virtual Goods, as opposed to Real Life Goods.

Funny read though xD.

As well. Didn't read it all, but can't belive that they actually brought the f.b.i. into it.

True, it may be a year and a half old..

I just recieved what looked like an email from Jagex
Clicked the link, redirected me to Runesnape.com and asked me to login to appeal an apparent "Infraction" my account had, though no account is linked to the email

LOL! I had exactly the same website. In the email it looks like services.runescape.com but then its services.runesnape.com
Stupid phiser kiddies.

Good try.

 

[ILikeSkills]

Wow, interesting. Glad those who do stuff like this do get in legal trouble.

 

[wackywamba]

Why does everyone keep pointing out that it is old? In my opening sentence I stated I realize it's old - BUT, fact of the matter is people do get caught and as hilarious as that might be to us, they are considered criminals.

Especially now with so much of it, I'm sure more is going to be done.

 

[Beastt]

Ha, That was funny.

 

[Lured Yah]

damn lol hope they gonna catch more of em ^^

 

[silent k03]

lol gf

 

[BlitzMe]

Omfg the guy got arrested in my area, well its not called Avon anymore but still. Thats some crazy shit bro, the police around here will arrest you for anything to try get a promotion.

 

[aus aaz]

Lol how devo would that dude be when he goes to jail, and someone in there goes what are you in he for? ... Stealing RSGP fml ! Haha

But I guess they will only be able to charge the people living in country's that have laws against it, I can't see many other country's getting involved with this stuff, maybe Australia , Canada ..
