Ava don't do it, complete scam.
RE: Account Security!! - Ava - 2011-01-25
But the link is Jagex.com :s
RE: Account Security!! - ChangingLane - 2011-01-25
As AlchemyHawk allready said, don't click it
Although it may seem that the link is jagex.com, it probably isn't. This is a technique called "phishing" (more info here and no, this ain't some phishing-trick :p)

Phish.
RE: Account Security!! - Smith - 2011-01-25
phishing! That guy got a skill cape in it, I am not surprised you get confused. But remember this:
Jagex will never email you. They have their own mailing system ingame for that.

Tbh, even the first thing they messed up on lmao.
"Dear Runescape player," its RuneScape
!

I suppose it would probably say dear Ava if it were real huh?
I just dont understand how it was sent from noreply@jagex.com...
RE: Account Security!! - Smith - 2011-01-25
Noes, I was wrong. I get what this is. Jagex recently updated their recovery system.
This means that you now can recover your account by mail. This mail is a legit one. It means that someone knows your emailadres and that it is linked to your account. Jagex send this to you to let you recover your password.
How is this a threath? If the person that knew your mailadres also knows the pw of it, he could change everything.
My suggestion: Change your emailadres to a very unknown one.
RE: Account Security!! - Ava - 2011-01-25
Yeah, I decided to change it to one I don't use for runescape stuff
