    Am I about to be Phised?

    So I got an E-mail earlier on from "Jagex". It said that I was entitled to "Free 14-day RuneScape membership" on one of my accounts. But the account's like 3 years old. It has been a member previously, but it is no longer a member. I'm just curious as to whether this is a scamas I've reveived E-mails from "Jagex" before on my other E-mail address... The weird thing is they mentioned my old in-game name that I used to use... I've put a screenshot below, hopefully someone could help me out :) I've blocked out some of my personal information on the E-mail. If you notice the E-mail in the top right. If this is legit, why do Jagex use so many different E-mails :s

    i dont even trust the legit emails from them saying you've got points. if anything just log in on the mainsite and see what happens.

    or if you using chrome prese F12 and check where the link goes to.

    I believe this email is fake. When you hover your mouse over the main link in the email, it should display somewhere at the bottom of your browser the link. Some of the links that I've been getting in my email links to something along the lines of runescaqe.com. I honestly wouldn't click on any of the links that are sent to you. The only way you could be phished is if you click on them, and log-in with your username and password.

    Yeah, I haven't clicked on any links or logged in :)
    I'm fully aware of how phishing works just wanted to know if this was legit or fake that's all, thanks for all the responses!
