I recently recieved this message but it seems a bit fishy. I will drop a name if anyone agrees with me.

Hi, Do you enjoy pking for profit? If not maybe you just hate listening to all the people rant on how bad the loot you receive when you kill a person. Well recently I thought of an EXECELENT way to make it both fair and Jagex for us to enjoy the loot we get after killing a person, ill give you a brief explanation of my idea;

If we kill a person not in a hot zone we get a chance to get 25%-50% of the kill + the random drop that Jagex recently implemented into this game, but if you kill a person in a hot zone you can get up to 50%-100% of the kill making pking once again profitable!! This is just a brief example of what i talk about on my topic so please check it out. It only takes 2 seconds to log in and to post that you support my idea.

Heres the link to my topic: http://forum.runescape.com/forums.ws?81,82,810,57750449

Thanks for reading and please support!
We Pay to PK!

This guy has 0 posts which makes it even fishier. The post seemed legit but could this possibly be an attempt by Mods to get people to come out with their ingame names? Just wondering what you guys think. And if this is in the wrong section please move it. There wasnt really a section for this.

 

You should rest assured that Jagex is blocked from sythe.org. Personally, I wouldn't bother posting as it seems unlikely for jagex to do this, however you may post if you like. It is a legitimate post on the runescape forums so there is technically no way to decipher from regular users and sythe users, and thus, no way for them to tell if it is you anyways. Do what you would like, but I say with confidence that it isn't an attempt by jagex to find your account.

 

Edit: Nvm, I thought it was the link from the phisher going around. Do not go to any links provided to you by steven###
I don't know the numbers, so I replaced them with ###

 

I agree, but I just wanted to put it out there so that anyone that answers does so at their own risk. I never answer these kind of emails...

 

Ah, so its a phisher? And yes his name was steven####. But why would he bother sending messages that long?

 

Did you receive it from a person named Steven373? If so, then yes. You also just copied the link. You didn't click the actual link he sent you. Do not click it, all he did was use the hyperlink too and linked it to his phishing site, while changed what the hyperlink is named to the forum link you posted

 

What happens if you click it exactly?

 

It will ask for your login details, then say that there is a problem with the server. Doing so, it will e-mail your details to him. I advise you to never touch that link. BTW. You weren't the only one to get it. Almost every did, it seems.

 

I just owned him. xD He will get spammed with random usernames and passwords.

 

Not a good idea. Run a virus scan and spyware scan on your computer now

 

Doing it now. Will keep you up to date on scan reports. Is there anyway to scan the link?

 

Lol. You can not get a virus from it. All it does is what ever you type in the box gets sent to him. Just be sure not to DL anything.

 

Not true. His site can automatically download things to your computer. Trust me, I've phished before.

 

Scan complete and I have 0 infected files. It seems to be clean with no downloads but still not a good idea to even go to the site.

 

I just got that message also. And thanks for that info about the phishing web site.

 

No problem, and I think everytime one of these comes out it should be added to some archives so that everyone knows not to respond to them. Or posted in an announcement?

 

I agree, there aren't that many so it would be easy to keep track.

 

I got this message to my PM box, but at that time there were a fake link.

 

Only if you're a lard-eating dipshit that uses IE8.
