      IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147    | Hi Guys, As some of you have heard and may have even seen there has been a set of emails claiming to be from 'Jagex' coming around over the past few weeks which suggest you have been breaking the rules in some way and that you are required to appeal these offences through a link given in the email (as per below):
I cannot stress this enough: Jagex will Never email you in regard to offenses on a Runescape account Their policy on emails is clear, see: Home>Customer Support>Safety & Security Guidelines>Security Information
Jagex has a perfectly good system for notifying people of issues like that, it's the pm inbox built into the game, the one that you can see when you log into the lobby. These emails are whats known as a 'Phishing' scam, they are basically trying to trick you into thinking that it's the genuine site that you are familiar with and as a result you are happy to enter your account details into it, have a look at the picture below... Can you tell what's wrong with it?
Thats right, it looks very very similar to the official Runescape page and the only difference I can spot is up the top in the link.... "Runesnape.com" As I have said above, these sites are designed to look *exactly* the same as the sites you are used to to get your password So really, the key points are:
It's really important that you guys take note of this, one WG member was very lucky today to catch onto what he had done before he had lost anything but several other people I know have lost a significant amount of items as a result of this scam. Please be careful, don't be the next person to fall for this.[QUOTE] --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||||||

This morning I fell for it, luckily with the help of JC and a few others I came to realize I was in for it. Changed my pass, everything is safe but I hope this post can help save others too.

Guys, if you're any bit worried make sure that you have a Bank Pin and just don't open any of these emails. I've been lucky, I've had ZERO.

Never click on any links in emails unless you -know- who they are from and what they are for. Same with attachments. 2. If you get an email like this and are worried, open up a -new- tab, type in "runescape.com" manually, and check from there. -never- click on the link. Follow those two rules and you'll be safe. -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link  I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.
