Greetings,
I do not know if this is more of an account security problem for my runescape account or my paypal account. Yet I will put this here.
Recently I've been notified by e-mail that I have bought quite an amount of bonds via my new account for fresh starter worlds, when I logged on my account today I see that I can not log in to the fresh starter worlds anymore and that my paypal's 200+ euros have been taken down to 9 by buying RS bonds at 10 packs each.
I have used facebook to make a fresh world starter account so if the scammers wanted to use my account for illegal activities then they wouldn't have to look far, this is my fault for believing to be safe with 0 security. What I do find weird however is that when I'm trying to look up on any suspicious activities on my paypal account (wich has 2step verifier) there are no strange locations comming up where my account has recently logged into to make these unwanted purschases.
I do not know if it is possible to find out who is responsible for this, as they no doubt have traded those bonds over to another account. Yet I do hope that this message reaches other people to be aware and only make an account using RS forums only and directly adding all the security measures to make your account only availlable to you.

My money is something that I most likely will not see again, yet I'll make sure that this can not happen again by disconnecting this account from facebook and adding more security to it.
Kind regards,
Jon
