    Warning over possible Phish

    Hey guys I was checking my emails today and noticed an odd email from "jagex" after realising I hadnt tried to recover any accounts, I figured this could be a phish attempt.

    Pretty much if your email is public (meaning other people can see what it is) you will get dozens of these emails. Just ignore them.

    My windows live email account was recently blocked from the large influx of these emails that I've been getting. It's a shame, it was my primary one too and I cant access anything on it now.

    I get these on my personal hotmail account, in which...I never use, the email account for my RS account isn't public so I don't get them on there. They're looking more, and more authentic though. I don't see why people are still trying this shit tbh, It's old now.

    If you hover over the link when it's in your Email you can see that it's a fake link. It'll be like, www.services.runesvape.com or something like that. I can't believe that's the only one you've gotten, I get an easy 5-10 of those a day.

    Warning over possible Phish

    When you flaunt your email address all over Sythe you end up with several phish emails in your inbox/junk. Just flag them all so they all go to your junk. Jagex will only contact you by email if you have done something on the site and input your email address, such as recovering an account

    Oh, the joy of owning your own domain. Not going to get my e-mail limited any time soon from all of the crap I get. Set some filters on your e-mail so they get automatically moved to junk,

    It gets pretty obvious when you see them

    Good grief that's sickening at all those attempts. Im guessing they have a bot do it because wasting your time for that... >_<

    One reason I don't put my sythe MSN public. I remember right when I added it to my sig, I got a phish email at least 3-5 minutes later.

    Warning over possible Phish

    There is a fake one floating around, just check the links before you log in. And if you don't do that, it's always safe to login with something like "Fuck" as the username and "You" as the password. If you login and it shows "Fuck logged in" at the top, it's a phisher. Not only have you figured that out, but you also told the phisher "Fuck you." Always good to be precautionary.
