dargonhuman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 registered trademarks of Jagex Ltd in the United Kingdom and trademarks used in other countries of the world. That's the part that made me lol. "Trademarks used in other countries of the world" are more simply called "international trademarks" and "Jagex Ltd in the United Kingdom" just sounds hinky as I've never seen that kind of specificity of national location in any official Jagex correspondence. Mostly I've seen something like, "registered international trademarks of Jagex Ltd" or something similar. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!)

Wavemasta Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I received that email earlier this week, didn't fall for it now I know Jagex wouldn't send you an email themselves about this stuff. Went to official site, checked messages and mutes/bans, nothing.That, and the link in the email goes to 'runescapee[LikelyScam]', instead of runescape.com, which is what you would expect. Anyways, just got another email just like it. Just so you know, they keep trying to scam people. Credits to Littleboy for the signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stingman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah seriously. How many times does Jagex have to say that they will NEVER send an email asking you to log in somewhere for a ban/mute/message/etc. They ALWAYS use the in RuneScape message box for those things.

Krampell Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah seriously. How many times does Jagex have to say that they will NEVER send an email asking you to log in somewhere for a ban/mute/message/etc. They ALWAYS, I wanna be with you and make believe with you and live in HARMONY HARMONY oh love! use the in RuneScape message box for those things. Sorry, just came back to /v/ and had it in my head.Anyway, yeah.Jagex has said on multiple occations that they will never send you login links to your email. They always use the RuneScape message box you see in the lobby for those kinds of things. Always when I see a link like that, sent to email, IRC or whatever, I always spam the login form with false information or just give them messages through it, note that they always contain some cursing in them.It's fun to troll phishers.

Stev Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 You guys do know... Everyone on here that has said, "I SAW IT TOO!" has their e-mail address is set to public on Tip.It? I've pointed this out many times before... Hmmm, I wonder how they're getting your e-mail addresses?! If you don't want these scam e-mails, remove your e-mail address from public view on Tip.It! So, click here (Your user profile settings), scroll down to MSN, AIM or whatever you have it displayed as, and remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
