BEWARE -> Phishing Email going around

[raziaex]

The email in question looks a bit like this...

Dear Runescape Player,

This is an automated email from Jagex Ltd., makers of RuneScape and FunOrb, sent because your account has been suspected of Real World Trading. "RWTing" is a serious issue, we at Jagex believe this has a detrimental effect on the Runescape community and so are fighting our hardest to ban accounts involved in these actions.

We therefore request that you validate & appeal your account by clicking on the link below.
https://secure.runescape.com/m=accountvalidation/validate.ws?id=AAAIKWWK445522ksuu7

Alternatively, copy this security code into your Account Validation form: AAAIKWWK445522ksuu7

Your security code will expire at 03-mar-2011 23:02 (official forum time).



Many thanks,
Mod Thomas
Jagex Ltd.

THIS IS NOT A TRUE JAGEX EMAIL ADDRESS


Btw -> I almost shitted myself when i got this; cos I actually HAVE been RWTing.

However; Jagex clearly states that all billing/support/offence related notifications will only be submitted to your in-game inbox. Also; through a bit of internet research; it appears that I'm not the only one who has been sent such emails from this very address.

Just trying to make sure everyone stays safe and happy while cheating the REAL Jagex

I believe they use email programe like spammers so they can pretend to be what ever email they want.

Just don't bother with them. If Jagex really wanted to contact you over something they'd do it with their message center.
