Ok, so a few days ago I got an email with this:



It was from [email]Jagex@runescape.com[/email]

It also had a link, which is sort of odd. Jagex says that they will never email you, soooo…….

what do you guys think I should do?

Well I suggest you email this to Jagex. They will thank you for the information and perhaps even post that a scam like this is going around.

Plus ++rep for you for Jagex lol

This is a scam. Got the same e-mail, then about 30 minutes later an email saying "don't click the link I am a scamming douchebag"

I got the email too.

It's extremely easy to fake e-mails like that.

Look who its really from when you open the message (should say 'on behalf on ***@***.com')

Can't believe you nearly fell for it though =P

i dont know if I have a keylogger or anything, does anyone know how to remove it if I have one?

SO many SRL ppl got this email, is it possible the scammer is from srl?

If RS wants you to become runescape p mod then you will get message to your message centre…

Hmm, is Zeph P mod, I'v heard he is…

Don't think so, i think that all who have gotten this letter are registered same web site(what has something to do with rs), so best way to find it out is to say what communcityes in you are…

That was just a thought, but things like that happens…

You can spoof main addresses from CMD. Also, I think Jagex uses a co.uk domain.

If they want you to be a PMod then they send you a message in the Message Centre thing.
