SanNo1 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Today I received an email from Jagex which stated that my account was found offered for sale somewhere and that it would be banned if this would be deemed true, at the bottom there was a link to validate my account. I wanted to make sure the mail was legit before I click on the link and enter my account details somewhere. Here's the mail: To be clear, I have, and will, never put my account up for sale and don't want to see it banned either. I've checked the message center for my account on the main site and it didn't have any messages concerning this. PS the sender was RuneScape([email protected]) There are three sides to every story: There's one side, there's the other, and there's the truth.

Pfohlol Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It's a phishing attempt. Don't reply or go to the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas379 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Jagex have clearly stated over and over again they won´t e/mail you, any messages will come to you via the website message thing. Aka it´s a phising attempt as stated above [hide]First they came to fishing and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing; Then they came to the yews and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews; Then they came for the ores and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores; Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star. Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yep, most emails that are from "jagex" are probably going to be scams. Just a word of advise, you do sometimes get legit mail from the real Jagex (I've gotten one when I was recovering an account). If the link you click on has this green thing in the barthen it is safe to enter your username and password. But only if it's in the place where you type in website addresses. Slightly off topic but does anyone know what else Jagex may email you for? I know that they email you when you're recovering an account. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSxqPowerx Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Jagex does email you, but not about that kind of stuff.Clearly a scam, don't click the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
