I don't know if I'm super jumpy & the below is an attempted hack or whether it is actually from Jagex. As far as I know, I've not asked for my account to be recovered (albeit the Password Recovery link is just below the log in button , I may have misclicked).

 

I've not clicked on any of the links.

 

It doesn't look right so to me - so I thought I'd better check with the experts.

One of the many scam mails going around atm.

 

I suggest making a separate e-mail account for your RS account (and not use it for anything else) with a name urelated to your RSN. That should do the trick, and make your account a lot safer. :)

Thanks for the advice, I'll set up a new e-mail address just for RS.

You're more than welcome. :)

 

E-mail is the best way to recover accounts aswell (as I have painfully learnt when my e-mail account was stolen a few years ago), so it is a double security.
