Using the email template in Shadowdancer's excellent Scambusters Guide (don't have the exact URL, just go to http://www.runescape...om/Shadowdancer and find the Page o' Genuinely Useful birdseed), I sent off this email to the Freewebs abuse department:

Please note that the following site: *address removed for this post, but was included in the email* ...is being hosted on your servers and is a site designed to deceive other players from the online game RuneScape (www.runescape.com). The site is asking people to download a program disguised as a modified version of a game-hacking tool called "Artmoney." In reality, it is probably a keylogger or Trojan horse virus. Even if it is not, such programs are against RuneScape's rules and players are not allowed to use them. The site is also asking people to enter their account names and passwords to "test" the program in question. In fact it is an attempt to steal their accounts. Please deactivate this site immediately before people begin to lose their accounts, either by theft or by being banned for using the program. Thank you for your time! -Pete |
As has been asked before: Does this count?
EDIT: Got this reply about midnight, four hours after I reported the site:
