- It's 2008. 11 year old Timmy from Arizona gets hijacked; all the items he bought for real life money are gone. Grandmother Claire decides to do the one logical thing; contacting the local news.

Poor Timmy should have payed attention at the stronghold of security
That didn't exist back then, DUMB NOOBLET
lmfaoooooo
still trolling, are we?
@@Elder74 I'm correct
@@rechtebanana was the stronghold around in 08?
Bullying an 11 year old truly is the most late 2000s thing you could do on the internet
Or Chris chan
@That VERY cute guy ofc it’s wrong. The internet in the late 2000s was hella wrong lmao
@I have something to say about it fk dem kids. We're gonna make some laptop toast.
@@Robert-ey2vp the late 2000s was when the internet was the best and at its peak
@@delix8869 oh boy I miss it sometimes🤣🤣
"they say it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved..... - but an 11 year old boy doesn't care for philosophy or poetry, he just wants his stuff back" 😂😂😂 that shit cracked me up
I also got scammed in 06-07 for a password, it was super traumatizing at a young age, but in hindsight an extremely good life lesson about the internet
hahah this! i know so much basics about internet security because of rs and wow
I lost my full rune armor to a scammer and it is a core memory for me now. I remember running after him through Varrock Castle still to this day. It sucks but seeing all these people getting scammed and rug pulled by NFTs and Cryptos, sometimes make me think that guy did me a favor 20 years ago lmao
had something similar happen to me too, i didn't have much on the account but it was basically the closest thing to online "friends" i had, i even tried to recreate the account after i got scammed with the same name hopping i could just keep the friendlist if anything. It gave me a lesson on how shitty some people are both online and real life with assholes in my life saying lol its just a game, good thing you can quit now. imagine saying that to 10--12 year old after he got hacked.
Its sad it happened to timmy but i don't really feel bad for him at least he had a family who cared about him enough to give him money before and cared after the fact. he was lucky.
Timmy if you watch this, hope you’re doing good buddy
Timmy, you are beautiful.
It's literally Sparc Mac
@@BODYBUILDERS_AGAINST_FEMINISM nah sparc mac was a big guy in 2008
As someone that fell for one of these scams as a kid I laughed my ass off. Timmy you're a fucking idiot like me LOOOLOLOL
@@BODYBUILDERS_AGAINST_FEMINISM 😂😂😂
I feel sorry for that grandma, i think she loves Timmy so much, and any of us would be happy to have a grandma like her, but by trying to help him and going to news made it worse... and the troll who kept phoning her, is a complete di**head.
Imagine harassing an elderly woman and thinking you're in the right because her grandson broke rules in a medieval clicking simulator. Neckbeards are truly beyond redemption.
@@scoops2 Yeah honestly, I know in 2009 I was an asshole kid too but the people doing that stuff to his grandma took it too far.
I feel bad for the kid
Shut up
Total low lives.
You do a better job at reporting the incident than the news program did haha, man you're getting extremely skilled at these documentary videos
Right?
Not to diminish the great work rswillmissit did here however I think I could do a better job at reporting the incident than the news program did...
@@taserrr Ha touche!
Ummm he literally has RS in his name. Would you not expect him to do a better job? Lmfao
I looked him up on Facebook and it looks like he’s recovered from this incident. Real easy to find him actually and Grandma is right on the front page:0
It's nice to hear they're both doing well, they sound like a nice family.
I would hope so that was damn near 2 decades ago lol.
Lmao lil timmyboy wonder if he still plays
Looks like he didn't learn from the incident if anyone can just look him up on social media lmao
Imagine being creepy then flexing about it
I legit hate everything about this. The newscasters, the hackers, the bullies- even Timmy broke rules and Jagex responded poorly. There is literally not a single person mentioned in this story that is not in the wrong. I hope Timmy is alright, wherever he is. The online harassment was uncalled for. He was underage and did RWTing which are both bannable offenses but he was just a kid and kids are prone to making bad decisions. The grandmother did what she thought was right even though it 100% wasn't.
The Grandma did nothing wrong she's just a loving grandparent who didn't know what she was getting into and got duped. Also you can't blame a little kid for wanting to RWT some gold. Sure it's "wrong" but it's not a crime.
There's one person and that's subscribing to Will Miss It's channel to keep up-to-date with all the latest Runescape videos!
It's weird to think that the kid RWTing could have caused a chain of events potentially leading to his grandfather's death. SWATing is so fucking gross.
Lol, you respect rules in a fake world? If someone wants to RWT in Runescape then that's totally cool, just because its against the rules of Jagex doesn't make it a bad decision.
Whilst this isn't relevant to your comment I'd like to point out there were no hackers. They were scammers yes, but they don't have any of the actual skill it takes to be a hacker. Don't give those low life unethical people the joy of getting called "hacker". They probably didn't even make the fake website.
This video brought back flashbacks, I can remember being around TImmys age and being hacked back in runescape classic, I had so many cakes from Ardongue and lost them all but one, my first bankslot item to this day still, lol, when I logged in I was wearing a pink skirt and gloves in falador square and I knew something was wrong. I was so upset. My dad mentioned he was going to contact Jagex and ask for membership money back since it was now a waste of time and I talked him out of it, wasn't worth trying anyway really but, bless my parents for trying to figure out how to make me feel better.
lol nice parents, when i got lured and lost my whole bank i broke down crying, and my parents made me quit cuz they said i was too attached to the game.
@@jesuschrist8069 Damn Bro, god can be such a dick.
You're dad was just trying to get his money back from your "stupid internet game." Lmao
@@BiggRippa xD
@@jesuschrist8069 Yeah I was crying a lot too, my parents wanted vengeance and were trying their best to mitigate the situation but even my little child brain knew there was nothing they could do in this case lol, all I could do was rebuild.
Edit: Also your parent's might not have been entirely in the wrong there to be honest, I've always felt like if I could give up gaming I probably would, I think it holds me back in a lot of areas. If I could put my mind into books as hard as I put my mind into videogames I probably wouldn't have a quarter of the struggles I face in real life today.

Idk why, but somehow i just realised that our dear little Timmy is actually a grown up man now
If you do the math, he’s between 24-26 years old now, and that’s insane. Lol.
He's a famous RuneScape streamer now
He's finally old enough to play runescape
I love these videos. I'm 26 now and ive been playing my whole life. The nostalgia from these vids is UNREAL. keep making vids!! I love the long ones
Almost 27 here, I share the nostalgia with you there. Damn these were the times, glad we still have instances of them sometimes.
even though timmy broke rules, i feel most players that are an adult age (we all boomers now) would undertstand kids are dumb and don't really understand what they're doing. feel sorry for little tim tim
That's why 11 year olds aren't allowed to play Runescape lol
@@A_Black_Sheep94 I wouldn't have responded here. But you made another comment elsewhere so Ima give you a quick education. Ignorance and Arrogance are two different things. Ignorance = don't know. Arrogance = Doesn't accept. You got those mixed up when you said "Ignorance isn't an excuse in the real world". It most certainly can be! Not every situation, but there are situations where not knowing what's going on, can keep you out of trouble. Arrogance is where there is no room for acceptance.
The other bit is, just stfu and stop commenting. How shocked would you be if I said teenagers drink in the US even though the drinking age is 21. Teenagers buy cigarettes' even though the drinking age is 21. People under the age of 18 watch Porn in the US even though it's not allowed for anyone under the age of 18.
Should I keep going? Do you need more examples of how stupid this was?
People will break rules. I'm sure you've grown up a saint. That's why you're in the TH-cam comments trying to be heard. I hope one day you're mature enough to appreciate this post. Have a great _______ (fill in as you see fit for your time of the day)!
@@ItsMeSoV Yea go ahead and tell the judge that ignorance is an excuse. I'll wait pateniently. You know what go ahead and let the arresting officer know too, I'm sure they'll understand.
@@ItsMeSoV People do break rules, which is irrelevant to why the rule was set. Had an 11 year old not been breaking the rules $100 something dollars wouldn't have been wasted. Were you one of those that wasted $100 dollars getting scammed? What a strong opinion to write that much about nothing.
Jesus Christ Black Sheep are you okay, did real world trading bots murder your family or something? What a hill to die on
Ugh such a sad story and the fact it could have ended extremely dark with that swatting.... i wish nothing but the worst for those hackers. Hope timmy is doing better, he made some mistakes yeah but nothing deserving of what he got.
He's probably not even playing RuneScape now. Saying he's doing better is silly as it was a game and he knew he cheated. Not hating just being reasonable here
@@z304legend Um nobody gives a fuck about a game when your phone is constantly ringing and your house is being swatted.
Do you have a cognitive disability?
the swatting went 100 times over the line
Loving the content! Easily one of my favorite RS content creators atm.
These videos are so immersive and the storytelling is so good!!
I remember this!! Whats sad is this scam is still around today and still as efficient as it was. Timmy was just the very few that brought it to the irl world. Hopefully he still plays today!
I disagree. While I don't like that real world consequences were had, I don't think he deserves to play if he was doing real world trading and botting. If someone says the excuse is that he was an 11 year old and didn't know any better, then it shows he shouldn't have been on the game because he wasn't responsible enough. I played RS my whole life, pre age 11, and never had an issue understanding the rules.
Incredible video, as always. Thank you so much!
Thats a loving grandmother who understood her grandchild's hobby.
If she understood it none of this would have happened
@@maskettaman1488 She understood how important Timmy's hobby means to him is probably what he meant. It's pretty rare for people her age to care about something like that rather than completely brush it off as some dumb game.
@@maskettaman1488 it was 2008 dude this is literally how the internet was. Old people still dont get it. Yall lacking sympathy and common sense now?
@@dreadsupreme Sympathy is not the same as understanding lmao. Her intentions were good but she clearly had no idea what she was doing
@@maskettaman1488 L take bro, look at todays games and microtransactions and you’re gonna try and say it’s her fault for not understanding RWT was illegal?
Get outttt lmaoooo

Very, very well made video sir! Thank you for the show.
I cried as a kid after I chopped Willow logs for weeks to be able to buy full black armour from a kid who actually just lured me to the dark mages south of varrock and I died …. Died in game and felt dead irl… I remember I cried hard hehehe 😂

"The Wild West Days" is quite the accurate description. A lot of valuable lessons learned
I find it sad that everyone still seems to think doing things like swatting or mass harassment are funny, you'd think we've had long enough to learn the longterm damage these things cause people.
Swatting has been going on for well over a decade now (closer to 2), and it’s horrific in every situation. If someone dies as a result of it, is the person who calls in the “tip” liable for the deaths it caused? Definitely something to think about.
If you have the perspective that "everyone seems to think swatting and harassment are funny", maybe you need to find some new friends.
Thankfully not everyone. I would wager that it aint nearly as large of a circle that thinks putting people in lethal danger and giving them tons of mental anguish is ok or funny.
@@guitarbass22 To my understanding (and I am in no way qualified or understand the law to a degree you should ever use me for legal advice) yes. If person A Swats person B, who gets killed due to it, person A will get the charges of costing person B their life. Because it's deliberate, targeted, and the aim is to cause harm to the target. Not to mention the swat team being distracted and busy with the false alarm, meaning an actual real situation where they are needed can get not dealt with resulting in also death. A quick search reveals that yes, swatters have been given even life sentences for getting people killed. So while likely the sentence may wary, if person A gets person B ( Or person C/D/E...anyone at all) killed by swatting, those deaths are on person A. Had Timmy's grandpa been shot during the swatting and died, those account thieves and scammers would have had the blood on their hands, so if caught been looking at 20 to life.
@@guitarbass22 there was an instance of this but i'm not sure if it was just a one-off
Wow, man! I'm always amazed at how incredible your ability to tell stories is. Thank you for such good, creative content! Love these mini documentaries! I really hope TH-cam gives you the exposition you deserve, cause your videos are just the best!
I literally remember seeing this back in 2009 on youtube when I used to play everyday on rs2. Amazing with the follow up and after story though! really nostalgic
Picture this... It's 2002 and I had just turned 14. I mined rune ore In wildly for ages It seemed. I saved up everything and sold off everything I owned to buy a newly released Dragon med. It sold for 3.5m at the time which was an extreme amount of gp back then. I walked all the way through Draynor to Lumby to show off my dragon med to everyone. I had a lot of people following behind me asking to see It In a trade screen, asking how much It cost and how I could afford one so soon. As a 14 year old who owned the best helm In the game I of course showed off and bragged a little bit. Well a lot lol. I make my way back to Draynor bank and as I'm walking out a guy approached me and was asking all of the same questions everyone else had asked me all morning except he said something else. He said If you give me your email I'll send you some pictures of my bank account and you can pick anything or everything you want for your dragon med. 14 year old me thought "I'm fixing to clean this guy". I'll have enough to afford full rune and another dragon med. So I gave him my email, clicked the link and.... All I got was an error message. I was confused but I kept clicking thinking It was my computer or something. Nope! I had been keylogged. He didn't delete my friends list or change my password.... He just took the only Item I had left. My dragon med. I was sick to my stomach. I logged back Into my account and he messaged and said. Thanks for the dragon med buddy! I'll be 34 In a few months and I still remember that day as If It had just happened. His Rsn was Abc123Abc. I can't remember a lot of things that's happened In life over the years but I remember that lmfao. For those wondering why I didn't have him to put Items In a trade screen. It's because you could only trade 12 Items at a time and he had put up a bunch of gp which took ages to trade back then and a bunch of other things. I was 14 and stupid. Lesson learned.
A keylogger? That's next level. That would work on a lot of people today. Unless you meant a phishing site?
That's some serious pain. Lol there was a lot of scamming/hacking back then.
@@user-zu1ix3yq2w He sent an email that said something like... Click the link to open the pictures. I clicked the link and nothing but an error message popped up and I thought It was my PC and kept clicking It lmfao. No website or anything but the error message popped up. It was vicious for sure. He didn't delete my friends list or bother to change my password. I guess their was no need to change my password because he got everything he wanted which was my dragon med. I started playing In April 2001 and back then recovery questions wasn't a thing. I can't remember If Jagex had made them a thing yet or not when that happened. To this day I carry a piece of paper with my recovery questions and answers wrote down along with every password, credit card and Internet provider ever used. It taught me a very valuable lesson lol.
I'll gold trim your dmed for free.
This gave me some ptsd from when I was about 12, I fished swordfish for two weeks to afford my first whip, after a few days I was hanging out with one of my friends, LOW ALCHING. And I accidentally low alched my whip, and I cried for a good 20 minutes. Good times.
Timmy and his family are a wholesome bunch, normal family reacting in a normal way to abnormal situation. His RWT was wrong but the kid was 11, not something I'd judge him for.
But those bullies and trolls, they deserve a pummelling.
This channel has the best subscribe reminders. If I wasn't already subscribed I would just because of how slick they are.
just unsub so you can sub agane
Watched your vids a long LONG time Will. thanks for the memories
I hate newscasters who just use random game jargon thinking it's right. Proves they don't at all "investigate". 8:49 I mean- "points"? What? They stole his hitpoints? What do they mean points?
Loved this one. Binged a few so far. Subbed 👍
Jesus christ. The amount of Cyberbullying and harassment going on in this situation is insane.
No kidding lmao it's hilarious
it's crazy that all of this happend over a simple RuneScape Account... The internet was soo different back then man. Just like you i am nostalgic for those times, but those things like mentioned happend in this video i am glad that they are gone
Gone? Worse if anything.
2003-2010 "wild west of the internet" so accurate.. Hope Timmy is doing okay today
man back then i watched like all the videos about timmy havent thought of this in years.
It’s insane how much time marches on. Lol. Timmy is 25-26 now, and it would be interesting seeing his thoughts in the comments here 😂😂
Prob forgot about the game by now lol

Dragon Platebodies give the same Defense Bonus and the Dragon Chainbody, Timmy wasted his gp.
doesn't look nearly as drip though
When I was a kid I got scammed pretty hard and it messed with my trust for a long time. I wish people would realize how they affect other people

What town is that? Im also in az
@@MG-jq4js they said Gilbert
Bird Flu J00. That's a very 2008 name
LOL your videos are always bangers man, great story
i got the subtle fairly odd parents joke. "timmy is an average kid..." lool
Great video, reminds me of my first time dealing with lurers. Playing RS back when I was only 9 (way too long now lol) I used to sit around Varrock castle when I wasn't selling iron bars at the general market nearby. One thing I'd watch our for is players who were low on health, one of those days a player did actually die to a guard and I managed to grab some of their stuff. Mainly, I got the coins from them. However, only a few mins later did I get a pm from someone asking me if I wanted to join their clan, I did meet them in the centre of Varrock later but had already deposited my gold and never carried much. When I followed them, they crossed into the wilderness where some leader was supposed to be, they must have been disappointed to kill me out in that place I'd never heard of just to find nothing of value. Good times :)
Great story m8 you deserve an Oscar
I would just sit at the entrance of the wilderness in varrock and collect arrows that the pkers didn't care about.
i hope timmy sees this
Timmy died in 2018 in a car crash

@@brizzy1237 oh fuck
Crazy to think that this man came a hair's width away from getting shot over RuneScape.
This story was so awesome i do remember it too! Poor timmy i bet this is Sparcmac :D
This is actually Sparc Mac
I remember this very fondly and laughed about it but didn't know it went that deep.
This is as cringe as Judge Judy with Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.
Not the video itself Will, it was Amazing, but the news themselves were so cringe to watch back then.
Or that preacher talking about Pokémon too, lmao.
I remember my gossipy neighbor; an old conservative lady that gets scared at everything she doesn't understand, told everyone on the block that Pokémon was diabolical or something. I thought it was an earthquake ot something because she made such a ruckus...
Then i saw "Josue Yrion" and everything made sense. The videos (in Spanish) may still be here on TH-cam. It's as dumb and ignorant as one would expect.
this is how they got unbanned before reddit
I don't think it's a good thing that this video gave me so much nostalgia. But honestly, it's crazy to see how much the world changed. I remember when I was around his age and I stole 20$ from my parents to buy an account off a friend that had full rune. And then obviously, they just changed the password after I gave them the money. Such a weird time the early 2000s to be a gamer.
We need an update on timmy.. does he still play? Has he 200m maxed yet???
RuneScape security has always been terrible sad for kids.
I gotta admit you got me at 15:24 lmao
Keep up the amazing work 💯🔥
Thank you, I shall :D
next vid will be the best of 2022 i heard.
Oh god I remember this. I remember seeing recordings of the newscast after the fact and it's so... stupid. I really hate how no one attempts to understand how video games work lol.
Your browsing history has me dead 🤣
to this day I can't remember ever having been scammed on runescape. When I first started playing back in 2006 I could barely even type and I never traded with anyone. The only trade I ever accepted was from some random guy who flashed me his cash stack of like 10k then immediately closed the window and ran off. I was also terrified of the wilderness because I had one of those runescape guide books from the scholastic book fair that said the wilderness was dangerous and players could kill you there.
I was about 9 at the time and all I did was run around lumby and kill goblins save for the odd excursion to the wilderness ditch to watch all the PKers kill each other en masse. One time made my way to Draynor village but got scared and left because I thought it was spooky. I also use to hang around the wizard tower and take the boots that would spawn there.
Now that I'm thinking back to my first days on runescape, I remember the first time I ever died. I got killed by a level 7 farmer on my way to Varrock and lost my whole bank. I was so upset I started crying at the computer in the library. I also got runescape banned from the school library computers because my teacher saw me killing goblins and thought it was too violent, so they blocked it.
Only runescape players would harass a literal 11 year old & his grandma
have you been on the internet? everyone will harass anyone.
@@ChiTownBrownie89 not to this degree. Its a literal grandma who did nothing wrong and they kept digging at her for several weeks.
@@DFsdf3443d have you ever heard of 4chan? Hell even Facebook liberals do it this badly.
@@ChiTownBrownie89 i've never heard 4chan go after someone innocent like this IRL. Sure they troll people who are asking for it (generally just random people who have funny reactions) or they harass people who are dickheads themselves or have done something to get their attention, but usually neither go on for long periods of time because after a while it just gets kind of sad. Even for the people on 4chan.
You have to be fucked up, to justify harassing a grandma for a longer period of time & sending a swat team to her house, for the lulz
In 2008 most of those runescape players where probably like 14 at best.
Does make me sad to see the hackers go to such levels... Not caring about other people's lives
good ol timmy, where ever you are we miss you
Imagine, the plot twist if at the end you would reveal you are actually Timmy
God damn I forgot how rude the internet used to be
back in the early 2000s where the internet was basically a cantina and mos eisley, where occasionally you had some poor luke skywalker walk in with no obi wan to protect their scrawny no force having ass.
Jesus... did not know that the family was Swatted that is such a despicable thing to do over a RS meme....
This was after my time, but I hope Timmy is well, even if he shouldn't have RWT'd from the beginning.
Okay the situation is messed up but you have to admit the parody at 18:25 is hilarious
I very vaguely remember this but just within 1 minute of the video I thought “that is the worse thing you can do”. I hope someone suggested suing the news.
I remember my very first account got banned because I was trimming armor and "cutting gems" in lumby. I was about 11-12 at the time and only level like 30. I was devastated.
1:50 those google searches LMAO
Good lesson for him. Buying gold is against the rules. He is lucky he didn't get banned, rather, getting his items stolen from classic social engineering.
Super HQ video right here! Keep em comming Will
Hey quick side note I use opera gx everyday and it’s definitely my favorite browser of all time. Most of the time when we get sponsored ads in videos it’s irritating but this one I actually support.
I mean, it's a sad story. Doubly so because of the swatting (legit, that's attempted murder). But the rules exist for a reason...
Man. I remember falling for a phishing site. First lesson in don't trust anyone. I feel for Timmy.
Ngl getting hacked is such a shit feeling. Happend to me back then too.
Same here.
(The site did seem legit...)
I really wish I could subscribe twice to your channel, Will, you're always so creative in the reminders.
I got hacked as young boy after grinding fire giants for a dragon med helm. I quit the game, gave my account to my friends for them to share cause it was the highest level at the time. I tried playing again like 10 years later but didn't even make it off tutorial island. I hit several 0s in a row on the rat and it gave me PTSD lol.
im shaking and crying when i was 10 i tried to sign up for runescape and asked my mum if i could say i was 13. she said no.
I do hope timmy is doing well
the "Run Escape coins" on the christmas list sent me
I feel you Timmy. A stupid 15 year old teenager (at the time i was 11) stole my Charizard card.
Someone stole all my Yu-Gi-Oh cards at the pool when I was 10 haha
great content and videos again and i remember back in the day falling for these tricks ive lost gp/accounts due to it and heck i fell for a scam when osrs was still new. its very hard to tell the difference but i dont check put no info unless jagex sends me an email and i figured out how to check who sent it from their email.
Actually a bit sad for Timmy, guess he learned the cruelty of the world early, a bit too early...
There's a reason 11 year Olds aren't supposed to be playing
love how little timmys gma put him on blast for rwt
I saw the thumbnail and thought, oh great I already know about this one I wanted to learn something new. Well turns out I didn't know that much about it, had no idea it got this dark.
Timmy grew up to become Settled. That’s why he hates banking and trading so much.
Bruh the internet really did go to hard on an 11-year-old kid who definitely didn't know how the world of the internet works, much less his grandparents. People get too angry for small shit and go too far often. smh smh
with dungeoneering came a new way to xfer gold. you could no clip inside and drop trade items. free trade was brought back shortly after that
Timmy should be 25 years old today.
Timmy is the only one in this video that isnt cringe af. He seemed more mature and kind hearted than ALL of these fucking trolls.
W grandma caring about her grandson
Man, were people toxic back in those days. Guess that's what being unable to trace anything about anyone back then led to.
