Real or Fake?

Silent Fang · Aug 9, 2012

none of my accounts have been banned or whiped... but my email has never been tried to be phised by any website.

I'm so confused because it looks so real but at the same time it looks fake. My opinion would be is to go to the website and put fake info and if it works it's fake then check viruses.
EDIT: DON'T CLICK ON IT.

Check if the link re-directs to the real secure.runescape.com.
Check if the bar where you type website addresses becomes green.
EDIT: It obviously is fake~ Jagex would NEVER contact you about these things via email.
They would put this in your runescape message box.
And do you notice the sentence where they say some accounts may be punished unfairly bhy an technical issue?
VERY much phishers use that sentence.
DON'T FALL FOR IT.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN PHISH.

This, or you could just copy/paste the link as long as there is no spelling mistakes like runescpae or something

Real world trading doesn't destroy the economy so that's false. Also starting off with "Dear Customer" is fishy.

There are so many words used in this email that makes it look fake. Which it is, but it's pretty funny.

"Wonderful community" Seems legit.

That's the op's yahoo, which is why he blocked it out. You can see it was sent to him, from Jagex Ltd.

That'd be the to field, sir.

Either way, the from field can be spoofed.

Jagex told me they'd never contact me via e-mail... so I ignore the e-mails. If someone was up with your account, you'd get a message on the RS system.

If you know you didn't do anything, why would you think it's real?

I rwt all the time lol, but I've never received a phishing/spoof email on this email account ever.

And jagex does email. For pw recovery and memb updates
