We are aware that some of our players have recently received a variety of phishing emails: emails claiming to be from Jagex or RuneScape which are designed to steal your log-in details. We understand this can be frustrating, and we can assure you we are working hard to stop the circulation of these emails and to take down the fraudulent websites linked to them.
In order to help you recognise these emails, we have set up a dedicated new thread - Phishing Email Player Warnings - on the RuneScape forums, which contains a short guide on how to check if an email is genuine or not. This thread also lists all known email phishing scams and will be regularly updated with details on any new emails we become aware of.

ViN said:I used to phish. Got 100m in like a week with a moderator application. People are really stupid to fall for these things.
On Topic- Jagex cant really do anything about this.World of Warcraft has the same problem, and if they cant fix it, Runescape can't.

Famous™ said:how do fake ddos programs get rs logins?
¥Demondax said:I incorrectly phrased that. I mean't that I can bind my servers to fake ddos programs.
