Some Jerk wrote:

Hi, we are Stupid Town staff, and we wanted to ask you - do you want some new RS2 old school auto miners, or clients ?

Like this one >

Or this >

Then go to : Stupid Land and GET them !!!

Stupid Guy web team!

also, I also got an email with a fake login page. Does anybody know where these emails may be coming from? and where they got our emails?

Remove the links from the quote. It's against the rules to post links of that nature.

there are millions of fake e-mails going around. And it's sad to hear that the "not so much experienced"-players sometimes fall for the scams..

But me mental is true you must never, never post a link to a scamming site.

to prevent them all i can say is block them from emailing you :wink:

The email about the fake login page was sent to me, and I also got that one you showed about autominers, etc.:

From: Jagex <support@jagex.com> [FAKE EMAIL, I tried to send them something back.

And the other one is exactly as you said it... although it claims to be something else, not "Stupid Town". But I'm guessing you, or a mod changed that. I won't display the name here unless you want me to and it is OK'ed by a mod.

i think that the person sending the "scammer" e-mails is someone that goes to this site and gets e-mail adresses from their profile...but that's just one thought

(heh, 69 posts :lol:

I'm pretty sure it probably is someone on this site - I don't post on any other specific Runescape Forums.

Keep on the lookout guys. :wink:
