September 3, 200619 yr i know this has already been posted but read on... i just got an e-mail saying this: Due to a recent surge in new Runescape accounts, we are carrying out checks on all accounts over one month old to clarify which are still active. Accounts we discover still to be active will be untouched, however accounts which we find are inactive due to lack of response to this email will be locked and potentially terminated. Therefore, we ask that you prove you are still using your Runescape account, Grim Reap437, by replying to us, and providing us with the following information, so that it matches what we have on our records: 1) Your Runescape Name 2) Approximate date that you created the account 3) Your Runescape password for this account 4) Your current Bank PIN number for this account 5) And if possible, as many previous passwords as you can remember. The Runescape staff already know these details, we simply need you to confirm them. Please either reply to this email with the reply button, or send a new email with the required information to [email protected] We thank you for your co-operation, and would like to remind you that if we hear no response your account may be locked and terminated. Yours sincerely, Andrew Gower and the Runescape Staff. AND heres the weird thing... the ONLY runescape fansite i've joined is Tip.it, so how did THEY get my e-mail in the first place? is there a bug or a hacker in the Tip.it system or something? i want to report this scam e-mail to jagex, but i don't know were to find the place to report it. i tried the search already and the report bug is for only reporting BUGS in the game... plz help! :ohnoes:

September 3, 200619 yr There are like 3 topics on these letters. Post on them instead of creating new ones all the time! Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak
September 3, 200619 yr Yes, it is a scam e-mail. Besides the fact that Jagex says they'll NEVER e-mail you, there are a few other tell tale signs. A couple things that might make you say, "Perhaps this guy didn't think things through very well". 1) Jagex Staff would have their own domain name. They aren't going to use hotmail for non-personal e-mail accounts. Period. 2) You and I both know Jagex is a company based in the UK. Why would they make an e-mail account with a ".com" address? Even IF they were to use hotmail (which they wouldn't), it would be hotmail.co.uk. Just a couple tips, but they're really irrelevant, because Jagex will never e-mail you.
September 3, 200619 yr Lol those 5 questions are exactly the questions they need to hack your' account forgood.
September 3, 200619 yr There been warning by admin at the "Announcements, Rules and Security Warnings!" section. ~BOMB
September 3, 200619 yr That's obviously spam, I think Jagex has burned it on the inside of our skulls that they won't e-mail us #-o Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Oscar Wilde
September 3, 200619 yr I have my profile set so I get an e-mail when someone pms me, could they find out my e-mail address somehow this way?
September 3, 200619 yr I'm almost considering adding my e-mail address to this site lol... I want to see some of these hilarious, pathetic attempts at stealing my account :lol: . Same :lol:
September 3, 200619 yr 2) You and I both know Jagex is a company based in the UK. Why would they make an e-mail account with a ".com" address? Even IF they were to use hotmail (which they wouldn't), it would be hotmail.co.uk. Hmm there becoming more sophisticated :ohnoes: Mine said hotmail.co.uk But your right they wouldnt use hotmail...lawl : We aren't here to facilitate topics on how to get drunk without side-effects.^^Haha^^
September 4, 200619 yr please send them the information they asked for becasue you said 'plz' in your title ^^oh and i still hate you, lep, you everflaming bag of dog crap : Then fork out money for the full version.

September 4, 200619 yr 1) Your Runescape Name 2) Approximate date that you created the account 3) Your Runescape password for this account 4) Your current Bank PIN number for this account 5) And if possible, as many previous passwords as you can remember. L O L! :notalk: =D> ^ Blog.
