Yet another FAKE Jagex Email

[kingofzeworld]

no1 cares every1 gets this email your not special or something and posting this wont make a difference .

Notice i said "Yet Another" fake email, dont see the reason for the hostility, and your punctuation doesn't really impress me to be honest. But thats just me.

I posted this because its the best fake email I've ever received and if Jagex still emailed you like they used to (back in the old days) i probably would have fallen for it.

Hope you all had a good laugh like i did.

Yes, yet ANOTHER fake jagex email. I am not a buff on the subject but i know they use some form of hack in order to create the @jagex.com effect to make it seem as if it was legit.

I had a nice laugh at this and screen shot it, for your enjoyment of course.

Please Note: I am sure 99.99% of you know that JaGeX will never EVER send you an email, but just in case someone is unaware. JAGEX WILL NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER SEND YOU AN EMAIL LIKE THIS OR ANY OTHER.

Some hackers have a lot of time on their hands and spend a lot of time in order to trick children into giving away their account details. Yes we all know its sad, but i cannot stress it enough even if it is @Runescape.com @RS.com @jagex.com @andrew.com Its not real!

I have but one question to ask to anyone if they aware of the answer, how do people gain my email address and others in order to send automated fake emails such as this? Do they go through sythe accounts and trace emails? Because that seemed the most likely.

Anyone with practice in the subject could do it. I myself have an @jagex.com e-mail address... >_> Using it for malicious purposes is out of the question for me, but knowing how someone makes them helped me figure out how these scammers work.

Windows Live exploit, using javascript they can add emails, its funny because Jagex dont go under Jagex or runescape.com, they dont email you, if your associated with them it will be an in game message.

Not really my expertise, but hey i think they deserve it

I wonder how many kids they catch in the 1000's they send it to.. probably a couple level 20's or something... Is it really worth their while.

You dont even need to give your email to jagex when you sign up, so there is no way on earth they can find out unless you specificly tell them.
