    No, they send you an email like that when someone attempts to recover your account.

    Did you copy and paste the email? I have a hard time believing Jagex would not capitalize "Feb."

    I don't. Thats the format of all of their emails. I have emails from jagex billing that are almost identical to this and they are legit. So if it is a phis its good to see that someone at least put some effort into it.

    Sounds fake, jagex has no way of knowing that your account has been compromised.
