Just a warning.

[cregzzz]

I've not seen a thread about this, I just received a seemingly legit e-mail from the sender named "Jagex Ltd" ofcourse I assumed it at first to be a simple phishing attempt, when I noticed it said I had recieved an infraction for botting and since I have been botting I got worried, then realised it makes no mention of my username at all, logging onto the main runescape site and checked my infractions, in the safe zone, heres the e-mail, so you can look out for. I'm an experienced Web user and I was almost fooled by this.

Dear customer,

This is an automated email from Jagex Ltd., makers of RuneScape and FunOrb, and publishers of War of Legends.

You have received an infraction on your Runescape account.

The reason for the infraction is the use of macros or bots. This is an infringement of rules of RuneScape which you agreed to adhire to upon the creation of your account. Breaking these rules will result in a permanent ban on your RuneScape account.

Because of the new second chance policy that is now being tested we have decided to issue you with a 3 month amnesty period to demonstrate an understanding of the rules of RuneScape.

By clicking here and logging in, you agree to the terms of this amnesty period and begin the 3 month period, effective immediately.

After logging in you will be redirected to the Runescape main site.

Many thanks,

Jagex Games Studio

Ya once you give one gold selling website your email, you can bank on loads of spam. I get literally at least 5 emails a day from gold sellers

[Eulogy]

[MarshMan92]

JAGEX WILL ONLY CONTACT YOU VIA YOUR RUNESCAPE INBOX

These are super annoying, I get tons of them. But I have checked the official RS forums and Jagex has confirmed that they do send out some emails, but nothing about this sort of thing.

This is why you keep your Paypal, Forum Accounts, and other Emails different and keep your main one private.
