The Observer Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 As a general rule, I don't click links in my email. If you want to find out information about your account, check the RuneScape homepage yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 This is thread #785,568 about it.I'd rather have a new thread every other week warning people about this than have someone fall victim to a phishing scam simply because of their ignorance of the threat. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmmmm83 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I almost fell for it until I noticed the URL and quickly changed my passwords. Same thing happend to me, made a thread about it too. :lol: http://forum.tip.it/topic/293349-new-attempt-to-hack-accounts/page__p__4842730#entry4842730 Like said, better have multiple threads warning people than leaving some unwarned.

Normalize Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Shouldn't even be opened. I don't open any emails regarding runescape period. It's pointless, and it's not as if you couldn't find whatever they're trying to tell you on the website anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stev Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 These guys must really want my account... Lmfao. As if I'm eventually going to give in and just, "OMG! Damn, better open this up before Jagex bans me by mistake!" "Uh-oh. Someone's trying to change my e-mail... Better clicky this link to RuneSrape and get that sorted." Trolololol.
