Runescape - Watch out for this!

[the_lol]

I got an email like this...

Spoiler

The url was actually hyperlinked to www.secure.[runescape spelled in the wrong way].com

This is a phish and don't even click on it. Report it as spam and then filter it.
Jagex never sends you emails, unless it's for account email conformation and account recovery email conformation.
Don't click on these links that emails give you.

Yeah, I seen this happen to other people.

Thanks for warning other members.

I don't see how it's a phish. It's also sent from an @ jagex.com

LOL, thats a fake, i know a guy who has a @jagex.com email too. but remember jagex's number 1 rule, they will NEVER ask for your username/password.

They never asked for their email or password, just to login and 'verify' the account.

Thanks for bringing up the awareness on the forums to others.

Ever heard of fake PhP mailing scripts? People can send you an email from "[email protected]" .. ect.

Yeahh.

The thing is, most of them go to your spam folder. I have one in my webserver that I use for teh lulz. Still goes to inbox!

Please block out the link in the picture, or part of it for security.

 

[the_lol]

The link in the picture is "legit" so to speak.
The email looked like this...
www.google.com

So, it's meant to look like you're clicking to go to google.com but it's actually yahoo.com you are going to.. So, the link there is "safe". As in, it is not fake. I don't think it exists though, but it'll lead to runescape forums.

I got an e-mail just like it that said my account had been disabled for RWT, but I always check hyperlinks because I'm cool and the hyperlink was like (supercoollinkthatwillstealyourpassworddontclickitunlessyourlifedependsonitonsecondthoughtdontdoitevenifso)

Baha. Edit the thing out btw.

I got the same email again. Google filters fail.

Some guy posted this link on rsbots.net too. Careful guys.

 

[Disruption]

Excellent Job on finding the phish. Thanks for the heads up. In most cases, the best way to tell if it's a secure login page is to look for the lock identifying that is has encryption methods to prevent phishers and so forth.

"This is an automated message generated by Jagex LTD support team to notify you about that you have to verify that you are the real account owner."

Such bad grammar. =/
Jagex wouldn't make such a dumb mistake, lol.
Wonder how they got your email, though.

 

[the_lol]

You can find and then sort out peoples usernames using google.. If you know what to search for.

I think I know what you mean. I used to do something similar for another game.
