Atom Smash40 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Just had this email come into my inbox, first thing that clued me to it being a scam was that it referred to me as "Player" and not my RSN. That being said, I clicked on it just to humor myself and it took me to a .mn website. BEWARE! 2 ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarBearBlue Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. This is funny since Ping posted a glitch that actually allows first person mode in the pic/vid/screenshot thread. Anyone how isn't all that cautious who has seen that video would get excited, post all over RSOF and try to play. Let's see if I got the same email...

Kimberly Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. This is funny since Ping posted a glitch that actually allows first person mode in the pic/vid/screenshot thread. That's because it was made popular on reddit and passed around by word of mouth afterwards. And you know how things get foggy the more it gets passed from person to person...Well.

Sy_Accursed Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Should be obvious fake anyway:1) Nothing on their youtube, twitter, facebook or main page about it.2) Email address it's from when looked at won;t be an rs one.3) There is no reason first person mode would cause graphical glitches, it is simply relocating a camera in an existing world and a viewpoint we already can kinda achieve using orb of occulus.4) All Runescape emails say "Hi [display name]" as their database has this data, the lack of this in the email sends up red flags5) Hovering over the link would show up an obviously not runescape webaddress.
