WARNING! IMPORTANT! READ! - Phishing attempt in PM's

Alll fallacious Pm's should now have been deleted.

Registered users can no longer send PM's. Only clan members up.

Registered users can now also no longer post links, upload files etc.. only clan members up.

Just a general note on safety.

Please always be wary of a link someone sends you, even if a clan friend, never enter your log in details for anything, on any site where you have clicked a link to access it. If you wish to log into a site and to be sure your details are safe, always type the site out in the address bar, or use your bookmarks.

Also never use important passwords on more than one site, ie i use one pw across heaps of sites, but rs, koa admin, bank, other sites it would cause me inconvenience to lose, all have unrelated passwords..

Even trusted people or sites, may themselves have been hacked. Just be vigilant.
Original Post:

Do NOT try to log in at the links you might have received in a PM!
DONT!
You WILL lose your account!

To admins: ban nosmnos quickly! Destroy all his PM's!

A quick check on the IP shows this person to be a lil slow.

Not using a proxy.

Tried phishing scams on several other runescape clans over the period of about a month, has a broadband connection with a small uk company, well i say small it was bought out about a year or so ago by o2, but a small subsiduary that supplies the fastest adsl in the UK, but it's customer base is pretty small and they are quite well known for making sure users follow their tos.

K, I can see why you made the pm invisible, but now I can't delete it.
It's taking up valuable space in my inbox.
