Hey all.

Make sure to report them, and if you ever see anyone giving up a heads about it make sure to retweet by helping to spread the word around :) .

Also to what they are doing are against the rules anyway, the RuneScape rule is explained here:

Thanks Mexk :) .

Also please be aware of twitch impersonators. I've literally just been had for 150m+ rs3 and my OSRS account was logged into aswell.


Thanks for the heads up, do make sure you do full malware and virus scans before you attempt to change or secure your account.

Then you should change your pass to a strong and or impossible to be guessed etc, then you can look at getting these two things to be even more secure.

Hey all.

NEW ACCOUNT:

Please be aware that
@JagexKieran
is NOT a Jagex verified account and is tweeting people phising links.

Best thing to do is to report and block them straight away, but also to spread the word to others to stay away and avoid them, so they avoid also being hijacked.

The REAL J-Mod Twitter account is
@JagexKieren
which is the right one you want to follow and go too if you want.

I'm concerned that your 2nd post doesn't make it bold enough that the accounts you are listing are fakes. You made a "fancy" list header (¸„‹•*°ˆ°*•› Twitter Impersonator List ‹•*°ˆ°*•›„¸) then you made a gold line about "the newest ones". I feel this could cause confusion for the players who pay less attention, because when you describe something threatening, it is more appropriate to use Alarming style of text, and not stylish one. Even myself (when I always read every single bit of text)...I was thinking: Ahh, are those fakes or reals? I really had to guess for a moment.

There needs to be an outrageously bold warning so people know those are NOT safe accounts list, and to be avoided.

Suggestion:
