Something else to watch out for: I recently received an email that is an exact duplicate of a Jagex Loyalty Program email, only it linked to what is probably a phishing site.

I won't name the website, but I'll tell you that it was runescape.com.[something], which at first glance made it look like an rs link, but it's not.

If you're not entirely familiar with how it works, runescape.com is a domain, and [anything].runescape.com would be a subdomain and belong to the same entity who runs runescape.com. With the scam email I got, the domain was com.[something], and they put the runescape name in front of it to make it look legit. But really it's a different website run by someone else and can't be trusted.

I thought it was worth mentioning, because it's a trick I haven't seen and I might have fallen for it if I wasn't as cautious as I tend to be with these things.
