I got this email today, and clicked the link. I never filled anything out cuz it seemed fishy, and jagex is supposedly only supposed to contact me through the message center. Here's the email, ya'll tell me what ya think. It says [email protected] so it seems kinda believable, but I'm so untrusting and skeptical. I also took out my email just for privacy sake.

Hello,

 

 

 

Recently we have found major changes in your IP address. Our logs show us that your account was used from different countries. We suppose that this account could be shared and it is against RuneScape rule 6. Rule 6 states that each account should only be used by ONE person. Account sharing is NOT allowed. You may not sell, transfer or lend your account to anyone else, or permit anyone else to use your account, and you may not accept an account that anybody else offers you.

 

We are requesting you to prove that you are true account owner. Otherwise we will ban your account permanently. To prove that you are true account owner, you have to do these following steps:

 

 

 

1) go to the RuneScape account support by clicking this link:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) select Type of query 'Jagex asked me to prove that i own this account'

 

3) fill the form, enter as much information as you can and submit

 

4) we will answer through message center and e-mail in a few days

 

 

 

Many thanks,

 

The RuneScape Customer Service Team.

Thanks for the concern of wanting to alert others, but this is not the place for that. You may use this link http://forum.tip.it/account_problem.php and select "Scam Email" as the type of report.

 

I've removed the link so that others might not be tempted to test it :)

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Oh, and a reminder: Jagex will never send you any emails!
