See here

 

Seems likely to be a scam. Why would you need to prove ownership if you were trying to sell it?

It says it's from [email protected], which Jagex says they can email from. How convincing.

It's not convincing at all.

 

Read the recent news post:

http://services.runescape.com/m=news/jagex-emails--how-to-know-its-safe-

 

Jagex will never contact you via email to discuss your account, unless you have already contacted us with a request for support at one of the following email addresses:

 

[email protected]

[email protected]

 

Jagex will never contact you to:

 

Offer you moderator status.

Verify your account details.

Identity that you are the account holder.

Advise you that your account will be suspended, muted, banned or has received an infraction.

To confirm a change of address, if you have not requested it

Uh.. The very same news post says:

 

To verify that the email is from Jagex, you can check the message source. If the email is from us, you will see these fields:

 

Received: from mta.chtah.net

From: "RuneScape" [email protected] or [email protected]

You can't grab bits out of context it actually says:

 

We only send you emails from an @Jagex.com or @email.runescape.com address. However, it is possible for senders to alter the from field to make an email look as if its been sent from us, so please remain cautious.

Red bit - clearly points out from boxes can be faked.

Green bit directs you to look for that from field in the MESSAGE SOURCE not just the from box, as the message source cannot be faked.

Oh wow, I didn't see that part. That's impressive, I didn't know that was possible.

Spoofing is way too easy, i've got like two thousand of that kind of mails..
