Via Old Sythe post, you might posted your MSN somewhere. They just spider E-mails.

For some reason I never get phishing e-mails. But I think you can report the sender and all of their e-mails go on spam.

Old posts or you have a bug on your computer.

i was thinking this, but they fake send the email from [email protected] , so would it block legitimate jagex emails to or just the phishs?

they use email parsers, it goes thrue a website and picks out every email, gets thousands of emails without doing a thing. I know this because a friend of mine used to do this stupid shit.

I used to regularly get spammed with phishing emails, but over time (and after I made a new email), they seemed to not show up as bad.

i delete anything by jagex actually i delete 99% of my emails, i dont read them

They get it from Sythe, or any other RS forum.

If you don't publicly post your email address anywhere, you won't ever receive a phishing email, unless you sign up to a shady site with it. People harvest, farm, spider, crawl, and whatever else you want to call it, people's email addresses.
