Hess Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I got this email saying I was eligible for becoming a p-mod.Obviously the email is a scam, I'm not an idiot and I don't expect you all to be that dumb, but if you check an email, just a friendly reminder to always check the URL.This is the site that I was sent to. Remember, even though that URL looks pretty damn legit, remember that secure sights have that fancy green/blue box in front of the address bar.Just a tip from the person who never gets hacked Link to comment

ReDrOc Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 People deserve to get hacked if they fall for crap like this lol Link to comment
Hess Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was just a little bit intrigued how the url looks legit, usually you have some obviously faked ones like www.runescape.tk or some random ass ending in there somewhere Link to comment
Mike Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was just a little bit intrigued how the url looks legit, usually you have some obviously faked ones like www.runescape.tk or some random ass ending in there somewhereIt does look more legit, but if you actually read the URL, it has 'hostable.me'. So Hostable is the host, everything before is just the web page that they created.Pretty nifty, but RS will also tell you through in game messaging. (PMs) Link to comment
