Darby Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Decided to make this topic because of topics like this: http://www.foe-rs.com/forums/index.php?topic=34348.0 http://www.foe-rs.com/forums/index.php?topic=34255.0 http://www.foe-rs.com/forums/index.php?topic=34081.0 If you faggots didn't start playing RuneScape a year ago you'd know Jagex NEVER emails you about your account, especially linking you to a sign in applet. If you get phished you deserve to get phished but this is just reiteration because it pains me to see human beings so retarded they actually fall for e-mail scams that I've been getting since 06. Don't be fucking retarded, Jagex doesn't e-mail you, you're all dumb.
Deaths_h3r3 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 It looks pretty legit mang. I wouldn't call them idiots when it looks that good. Especially for not knowing that jagex emails you.
ya im chase Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 The login message every other week is "Jagex will only message you with the ingame mailbox"... but ya idiots keep falling for it.
Deaths_h3r3 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Of course people are going to fall for something that looks that legit, think about how many people it's been sent to. You guys are acting like every single person gets scammed by it, but in reality it's the vocal minority getting scammed and complaining about it.

You judge something's legitimacy by the way it looks versus the fact it is impossible to get a legitimate e-mail from RuneScape concerning your account, enough said.
Berniej Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I got 2 e-mails rofl. They might look real, but you should only be shocked when u've really RWT'ed lol. And even then, if you made bank and ur selling ur bank you would know that Jagex doesn't e-mail you. I even got e-mails from WoW 'makers' that my account might have been hacked. I don't even play WoW. Probs got more then 5 mails lol.

ANY scam will work if you try it to enough people. Even utterly terrible ones. The fact that this one looks legit is enough to get quite a few people. Not everybody knows that they don't send emails. Is that really that hard for you to understand? And no, I didn't get caught by this. I don't trust email links and never click em. Edit: Not to mention many people would panic and click because they're scared about their account being banned.

Like I said, if you get phished you deserve to have your shit taken and it's pissing me off that the phishers don't drop untradeables and keep defence levels. I'm trying to educate not on the basis that people need to get phished less but that it's depressing that my species is dumb enough to actually fall for these things.
Deaths_h3r3 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 lol at thinking knowledge of Jagex has anything to do with intelligence.
Darby Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 lol at thinking knowledge of Jagex has anything to do with intelligence. It's not a knowledge of Jagex, it's common sense. For the most part, every e-mail has grammatical errors but retards would rather smoke dank 420 kush and e-date fat chicks than actually attempt to further their lives by learning basic English. Once you click on the link, the URL is obviously different. All the phisher e-mails I get go to my junk folder too which means even a minority of phishing victims find them there as well, clicking on RuneScape links sandwhiched between free viagra and Nigerian prince e-mails is obviously smart not to mention that the victims usually play on the account either recently or innocently to the point there not at risk of getting banned. If you fall for any sort of phishing site, you're an idiot, it's not specific to RuneScape.
Deaths_h3r3 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Again, I don't think you have to be an idiot to fall for something like that, but hey. If calling people idiot's on foe message boards gets you off, by all means keep at it. I'm not gonna be making topics calling people idiots because they got scammed. Since, ya know, it has nothing to do with me. And don't say your intent was to inform people.

If you get SE'd, you're an idiot. That simple. It wasn't too inform people, it was to attempt to help the average intelligence of my peers.
Deaths_h3r3 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Yeah, computer illiterate people = idiots. 100% no argument. And yeah, this has nothing to do with help with anything bro. You just felt the need to make a useless topic calling people idiots. Don't play it off as anything more.

Logan|Iuex V Ied Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yawn, lets move on to another topic please :)
Berniej Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Lol I have to agree with Darby. I think that some people just don't have high enough ability to think logicaly about things. To take like 30 seconds for yourself to think about can I get an e-mail from Jagex? oh let me check it out on the homepage ( for example ). But no, they don't think so they quickly click link etc. I see it with lots of things in Real life, people make dumb ass mistakes because they act to fast before thinking.
Ikz Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah, computer illiterate people = idiots. 100% no argument. And yeah, this has nothing to do with help with anything bro. You just felt the need to make a useless topic calling people idiots. Don't play it off as anything more.
