Wierd e-mail from jagex

[Falmar]

Dear customer,

we have strong evidence that you may have attempted a transfer of accounts or traded RuneScape virtual items outside of the game environment.

Real-world trading is destroying RuneScape, violates your agreement with Jagex, and any player that continues to engage in the illegal activity has no place in our community.

All of your accounts, main and otherwise, are now on our watch list and will be monitored for real-world trading. Regardless of who you are or how long you've been with us, if you decide to real-world trade ever again we will have no hesitation in: (1) permanently removing your account from our wonderful community in order to protect Jagex's rights, and (2) naming you as a defendant in Jagex Limited v. John Does, which is a lawsuit based on antitrust law violations that is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Civ. Action No. SACV11-00969-CJC).

If you ignore this email and instead continue real-world trading, we reserve our rights to pursue statutory damages against you for between $200 to $2,500 per act of past, present, and/or future real-world trading in accordance with 17 U.S.C. 1203(c)(3).

Additionally, your account has received infractions that will result in a temporary suspension if unchallenged.

Please click the following link to monitor your account's status or to appeal the infractions:

Notice: Due to recent technical problems, some accounts may have been unfairly punished. The majority of void infractions have been removed. We urge you to visit the appeal section to appeal any unjustified infractions received due to system errors.

Sincerely,
JMod Andrew.

Did you guys think that they want to scare me? Or its another phish attempt

 

[DMR]

Another phish attempt. They would usually sent you a message through the game and even then, there is some grammar mistakes in that text thus proving its fake.

 

[Lee Sin]

Fake, phish. I've got like 5050505005050505000000000000000000 of these emails, saying I've been 'suspended for RWT', 'Login validation' etc.

 

[Alma Mater]

fake lmao. they dont say "dear customer".

 

[Super-natural]

Yeah thats a fake one, don't even spend time re-reading it.

 

[0belisk]

Ignore any email apparently from Runescape with links on it. if its truly from Jagex, navigate to their website via the url box not any links from the email, login officially and check your inbox.

Or if your careful enough, simply just right click any suspicious looking links on the email and click "Copy Link Location" or whatever equivalent you have, paste it into notepad for example, and you'll see whenever its legit or fake.

 

[Aonor]

Don't make your msn public or post it on any forums. that's how they get your email and send you these phishing links.

 

[Snowdeath]

I wouldn't read any e-mails in my inbox regarding RuneScape things, since I know JaGex will always e-mail me via my account inbox on RuneScape, and never my e-mail account.

As a side note, though, if you really want to know...

You could always look at the address (_____@_address here_) and check on JaGex's website for their e-mails to see if it's legit. I think this works, but I've never tried that theory out.

 

[Falmar]

Ok guys thanks very much Its funny, because i thought that it's really jagex and then i've received another THE SAME e-mail and was like lol xd thanks again

 

[Saint Grimm]

I get like 10+ of these a month, just delete

 

[skybluesam1]

Its a phishing attempt and whatever you do DO NOT! click on it as some of these links comtain viruses such as keyloggers that will take your accounts. I also get a ton of these emails every month just delete them straight away or put them on your email block list so there emails don`t show up. Remember if Jagex want to message you it is normally through the in-game message system.

 

[MrLuckyDraw]

Very Wierd..

Just leave them alone, and don't open the links. Its phishing.

RuneScapes emails never start with Dear Customer, if they ever start with 'Dear' it'll have your display name right after it. (Usually 'Hi _displayname_')

Their emails will never have links unless its a loyalty program email.

Their emails will never be signed "jmod"

For futurue reference...

 

[thrillakilla]

Funny how they cited U.S. law while Jagex Headquarters is located in the U.K., what a fail.

This is a good point but even if they're based in the UK they can use US law as well. How do you think they sued rsbots back at the first nuke?

 

It's a phish
