    Watch out for this new phising scam :)

    Hey, Im pritty sure this is a new one as i only have just received it and this is the only place my runescape service email is public ( i dont mean my real rs accounts i mean the email i use for jobs such as skill training )

    Anyway so i saw these email and was abit confused to which account they were talking about so i clicked it and noticed the bar was some forum(DOT)TK thing so obviously not real.

    Had me fooled up until i saw it lol, Stay sharp and watch out.

    the font is wrong
    the wording is a bit fishy
    the email, [email protected], has never been used by Jagex

    whoever falls for it is an idiot

    thanks for the headsup nonetheless.

    yeah, i dont often get emails from the real jagex anyways so i wouldnt realy look deep into and notice that the font and stuff is different.

    just thought id give a heads up anyway so less people do get fooled by it

    The best thing to do with these sites is report them to their host.

    In Firefox go to View - Page Source - Find "<frame src=" And find out which host it belongs to. This person's host is rip way.

    I made a thread earlier today that has been sticked but it doesn't include pictures :p.

    @DGTurtle This thread isn't useless because it makes even more people aware of these emails :).
