Okay so....Like I said I would, I talked to someone from "that group" that's been known to do this type of stuff. They said that while there was a target against WolfScape in the past, it did not involve impersonating clanmates, and it had been paused several months ago.

They suggested that it's probably a single person doing this if it happened once, but you could have a bigger issue if this has happened multiple times with different clan admins over a period of time. @Lisaa_RS - Followed by @Runescape

I'm disturbed by this "target against WolfScape in the past" ; this clearly means it's someone who knows us, rather than just a random target on a Clan - I'm thinking the likelihood of skipping all the Clans names beginning A-V and going down the Clans beginning with W, then finding WolfScape: it's fairly low.

Instead of concealing these people by quoting "that group" I think it would be better to let us know who so we can protect ourselves in advance, no?
If not, although I do not mean this badly, but then this puts quite a stigma on yourself to say something like that without proper backing.


For other Clans, what I think they are doing is just going onto the Clan Page, finding a higher Ranked member, in our case an Owner, possibly with numbers in the name to help aid with the misleading (members recognise the numbers more than the letters) and then targeting lower Ranked members who will know them.

Another theory we had is that it is someone who knows us and is aware most of the Owners have alts in our other Clans, so we wouldn't log onto a brand new alt that wasn't one of the current ones to ask members for items/ money.


Terrible business with all of this; I'm hoping other Clans remain safe. Proud Owner of the

I can probably arrange for one of their members to contact you around the game reset time tonight. Again though, they're saying they're not responsible for the recent impersonation. @Lisaa_RS - Followed by @Runescape
