I would suggest people just hide their e-mails on forums.

Amv · **Posted:** June 10th, 2006, 9:08 am

If they just don't open the E-mails up, they will be good.

I had that also, I think Creepy alerted us in the PM announcement, which may be gone now, but this should really have been a seperate one.

Just a word of warning people, if you do click on the link, it IS NOT the official runescape site. It looks very convincing, but DO NOT log in.

Jagex will never send you an email, they will use the message center. They dont have access tyo your email, it's hidden from them.

i think the emails should be kept on forums aswell

I got one, too. I didn't open it.

Please notice that in the RS registration, there is no form for E-Mail. JaGeX does NOT have access to your E-Mail address!

well considering that people can just copy other people's e-mail and onto their own e-mail, that wouldn't work

yeah I opened it and got malware (deleted). NOBODY CLICK.I knew it was a scam when I realized that the link lead to atspace.****.com. I use atspace so I knew it was a scam.

after jagx released their "friendly reminder" lots of scammers been popping with "a fansite got their database hacked, need your password to check"
