    [Warning!] PHISHING SCAM GOING AROUND SYTHE!! - Pictures inside!

    I HAVE POSTED THIS SO YOU DO NOT GET PHISHED BY THE DUMB FUCKING RETARD WHO IS TRYING TO PHISH PEOPLES ACCOUNTS!

    i got a message from jagex sent to the email i use for sythe... the thing is I HAVE NOT MADE A RUNESCAPE ACCOUNT USING THIS EMAIL so wtf? lmfao. This was only sent to me after advertising to sell my account - so they obviously wanted the account i was selling; so i investigated this as something wasn't quite right.

    [​IMG]
    This looks very believable until i realised this, then having clicked the link and putting "Fuck You Assholes" as the username, it continued to my destination.

    I have highlighted in red these things i noticed -do not get phished! notice how the website says Runescnpe instead of Runescape?!

    I lost access to around 5 accounts by this, lost around 100m.

    Extremely annoying.

    it looks really legit if you're viewin emails from an iPod, but it goes straight to junk mail on PC.
