Did anybody else get this email?

^ I was going to write the same thing, what the hell. lol. Put some fake info there to waste their time.

 

[JstarD]

Jagex only contact you through game inbox
Thanks for warning everyone though

 

[xxMarxx]

One key way to see its fake to me is that they say "major macroing offense"

Normally im assuming they wouldn't specify how big of an offense you committed, only state the offense.

i use a different email to the 1 registered to my runescape account but i proberly have one on the RS email

 

[theGuitarist]

Basically everyone gets these now so its nothing new and you would be stupid to fall for these

Lol guys including this email I also got one from Chase.com which is one of my banks. Told me to click the link to check my alerts but he misspelled alert with alret xD

 

[ToxicBunny]

Iv had many like this

 

[Cymru]

I got the exact same email. It wasn't on my sythe email though.

 

[Pochop]

Gotta love when someone posts this once a day

 

[taylor1234]

you're an idiot for falling for it.

 

[sheymyster]

haha, I've received multiple emails just like that, one said that my account was banned which sounded a bit legit except Jagex doesn't email you. The other one said my account was "suspended" which I literally LOL'ed at, I mean c'mon if you are going to attempt fraudulent emails, at least get the lingo correct, do a little research.

Maybe I'm just a bit nit-picky but I find myself more angry at the poor tactics and lack of preparation i find in scammers and not actually that mad at the attempt at me personally.

 

[Brennanx1]

That's my friends phish.
Surprisingly, he actually phished about 1b lmao...

 

[im a lova]

YES! I actually got this exact one. I LOL'D because jagex doesn't send you emails for a "major macroing offense"

 

[malakadang]

I don't get much because I don't keep my msn in my sig
That being said I've accumulated over 20 all sitting in my Junk e-mail =,=

 

[Bionic-Bean]

I get a lot as-well, its all rubbish just double check every time you get any type of e-mail from runescape.

 

[vision2die4]

How do they get peoples emails that play rs??

 

[spedico]

Maybe from forums like this? In the market section everyone posts their MSNs and such.

you're fine. i get them all the time, they have to be opened for the java applet to infect.

If u clicked that mail.
Please scan ur computer them because otherwise u will be hacked.

facepalm........

always check the url
most jagex mails I get are phishing mails

 

[JaydotX]

I've gotten this many times. I only click links about Runescape if I just asked Jagex to send me one for account recovery etc.
