well this isnt by a word of mouth that an email scam is back up but..

 

 

 

today, logged on my msn, 4 new msgs(3 were from a friend, other was the scam)

 

 

 

it seems to be sent from a "[email protected]" email, but they never would send an email

 

 

 

i know this is a scam as i have read you can send an email from any account just by using the command prompt

 

 

 

this is just a simple warning i would like to say

:roll: You would think a Jagex mod would know how to spell "prove"

ah, only skimmed through the email

 

 

 

i replied to the mail.com adress, of course, jagex would have their own personal addresses and would know every account's passes and rsns

Heres a tip, don't display your email adress on runescape related boards \

never have O:)

 

 

 

well apart from communites, no other

Old..

yeah scam emails suck and are all full of crap, sure I like to read them I get a good kick out of them. Once I see that "include your runescape user name and password" I rofl and click the delete button :D

just to put my 2 cents in......

 

 

 

Well, after searching for some patches for my msn.....i discovered the reason to all these fake emails.....

 

 

 

I know the site, which i am not going to say, pm me if u really really want the site......

 

 

 

Anyways it is a little program that goes sorta like this

 

 

 

From: [insert email here] eg. [email protected]

 

To: Runescape Player

 

 

 

Message here......

 

 

 

Ever Wonder why it says to send the email to a different address??

 

because if they got you to send the email to [email protected], they would never recieve the details that they are after.

 

 

 

So yer theres my little 2 cents of HOW they do it....

Yea you have it on this site, check your profile. :-w

Sending these e-mail is very easy whit some knowledge of php scripting. It will seem like it came from Jagex, bu you have to send ur answer to god knows who... Usually hotmail's spamfilter deals whit em \

there has been more then 1 IP log-ins

 

 

 

=D>

Email spoofing is relatively easy if you know php. I have made a script that could do that while I was bored, lol :)

 

 

 

In short, never trust e-mail, and always make sure that if you reply to something, it is going back to the same address it was sent from :)

i already know how the ghosting of emails work, its easy enough with a command prompt

 

 

 

theres no need for any extra useless info to be posted

You should edit out the address in the original post. Why? Because some idiot might click it... but then again if they are dumb enough to do that then they deserve to lose their account, lol.

Send the email to him with a fake username and password, get him all excited then shut him down.

It must be fake, they're giving you a chance to prove your innocence before they ban you. :P

so you cant log in on your friends computer or another family computer if one of your parents lives away?

 

 

 

pretty dumb fake

That's a pathetic attempt at a scam. If your going to scam, but some effort into it like Kryptix does. He was the guy that made that Rvnescape site that looked exactly like runescape's website login. It was like come vote in this pole and it had you log in and vote. "[email protected]" hahaha.

I was emailed a link like that a long time ago. Since I was on a government computer that was rather secure (not to mention I couldn't play rs on it) I clicked it. After putting in fake names for 10 minutes I finally got bored. My favorites were "RSN - Phat Mule Pass - notgonahapen" and "RSN - Zezima Pass - You WISH lol". It was a fairly convincing site except the fact that every link was dead, lol.

hmm.. wierd i also got those mails but i wonder how they got my e-mail.. :wall:
