darksire Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 This email. sais its from [link removed - McGuff1] and it sais that they have selected you to become a moderator and all you need to do is log in at the site and accept the email. Well I went to the stie and it sent me to runescape homepage. i signed in and then it asked for my pass again so i typed it in. It said it would be 24 hours before i became a mod. and i would appear with a little crown type hting by my name when i typed or when ppl put their mouse over me. I hurried up and changed my pass for fear of it not being true. was this the right thing to do? Or was the email really from jagex? Plz tell me so I know wether or not to be mad at myself.

Overture18 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Jagex never emails you. They'll contact you through the RuneScape message-center. Wha.. What..? Where am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Omg you gave them your pass? And then you wonder if the email came from Jagex? Use a little common sense.. Jagex doesn't need to ask your for their password. Would be something if they couldn't do anything to an account without the user giving them the password.

pbdude201 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 yes you did the right thing by changing your password right away. if you get anymore more emails delte them they are a no no :shame: non-member for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSam19 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 you were correct in changing your pass. Like the previous poster said, Jagex will NEVER e-mail you, but instead use the message center through runescape.com. The e-mail was a scam, attempting to get your password and steal your account. For future reference, delete all suspcious e-mails before even opening them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksire Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Well it gave me a link to the runscape homepage. Then I signed in to the email thing on there. Then it asked for my pass again. I checked the link it was runescape homepage..It was just very confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest User Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It may have been the Runescape website, I personally don't know! But I have seen where some people will copy an entire site, and change the name to something close. For example, on the news, the showed scamming sites. Real site was the Bank of West or something. The phishing site replaced, the w in West with two v's. w ... vv. Moral of the story... basically what everyone else said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 ^ I see where you're getting at. Basically, someone can copy the entire source of the log in page, but change the form field so the entries get sent to them. By the way, I luuuurve your username :3> This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
