Greetings!

It will be ongoing for further investigation by JAGEX Entertainment's employees.
If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account ownership.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account to this secure website with:.

Anyone else getting these? About once a week, I get notifcations from an automated RuneScape emailer service (noreply@runescape.com) that accuses me of attempting to sell an account tied to one of my email addresses. Funny thing is, I have never (nor would I ever) create an account for some free to play browser junk.
The unsubscribe link yields a page that is broken (invalid code submission), and the "If you have not created this account - click here" link just 404's. Brilliantly sophisticated customer support system they seem to be operating here.

Just ignore it, it's phishing spam much the same as the WoW ones. If you clicked the unsubscribe link i'd change my passwords on everything if i were you.
That's what I thought after the initial one, but all the links redirect to the actual Runescape site. Unless their security is so magnificently crappy that phishers are actually relaying keyloggers through Jagex's websites.
Or this is some sort of weird reverse advertising thing.
The real Runescape website does not end in ... web.tt-login.com or whatever that is. It's a phishing scam. And the unsubscribe link probably ended with a code that told the phishers that your email account was active.
If you've never played the game then you have nothing to worry about them closing an account you never created. Don't unsubscribe to something you never subscribed to especially if you've never paid for it.

They are also sending this & this other one out. Heaps of scamming & philshing to trap the 1/10th left playing and below is what they sent me when I had stopped for almost a year. So much for nearly 10 years playing and helping all players only to be hacked to bits with a lack of support from Jagex;

Phishing detected. close tread.
Confirming here that it's very definitely a philshing problem & it tries to stuff up your computer while also sending a heap of money scamming gambling etc emails.
If you go to Microsofts website you can find a free excellent 'Microsoft Security Essentials' that makes sure the problem philshing with "Worm:Win32/Ainslot.A" is always found & deleted. The final fix is to remove all contact & emails from Jagex and today starting my computer it asked if I wanted to report an error of my computer so I said yes & it shows the software for the DVD player has been interferred with. I was able to report it to Windows and requested they get the World Wide Web monitoring group to find the problem to save the web for gaming and everything else.
MOMs & DADs and all DONT PLAY RUNESCAPE ANY MORE as it's been taken over by disgusting people now!
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
Yes, these are phishing mails. Please do not copy suspicious emails straight from inbox to the forum, as you are posting the masked links as well. Remove links before posting these emails if you doubt their authenticity.
