8000 RP free?

Twigs Comic·3/30/2018, 2:16:49 PM·5 votes·5,458 views

So some people on my friends list have been sending these messages about free RP. Here is what the message looks like, "unbelievable I received 8000 rp !!! I still can't believe it! if you need rp this site is work The link" I have gotten this same message from about 8 different friends. When I ask them why they sent that they say that they didn't. They never typed it and sent it to me. I have told them that maybe someone is trying to hack their account and that they should try to change their password asap. Can someone tell me what is actually going on?

Thanks for removing the link. Be sure to never post any suspicious or phishy links on the Boards. Even if your intent is not malicious, we don't want someone following the link out of curiosity and getting scammed or hacked themselves.

Scam and phishing websites that promise free RP end up hacking your account instead usually by requesting you "login" or enter your information on the website in some way. It is very possible that your friends' accounts are compromised. Next time they PM you, I'd tell them to go through the complete recovery process by following the steps outlined on the support section of the website regarding Recovering Your Account.

Also, make sure you never follow any suspicious links or go to any website that promises free RP, boosting, or other too good to be true deals. For more information on scams, check out our thread on the subject -- PSA: Scams making the rounds again!.

8 of your friends probably have below-average IQ

you need to give them your user name and password to receive your 8000 RP

The account has been compromised, likely from clicking a link like that one. They should change their password. Also I'd suggest removing the link so someone doesn't accidently click it here.

It means they clicked the link and entered their passwords.

No matter if they want to admit it or not, they got scammed and their account got hacked.

That's the kind of stuff they do when they hack the account.

btw, don't click on the link. It will ask for your password to try to take your account.
