I'm here to warn you,

I recently got a pm from a player name: Jaggex_Group.

This player is an impersonator. They will PM saying you just got reported for offesive language. And that they need to upload somehting to your player, i think it's a language catcher. And they'll want toknow your password.

If you should recieve a PM from that player, report immediately! Either for Password Scamming or Jagex Impersonating. Here's a screen shot:

That is a pretty sad attempt at a scam. JAGeX and "shure" are misspelled and the grammar is poor.

Just remember first and foremost what JAGeX says. They will never ask for your password.

Common sense should keep scams like this from affecting you so this type of warning is pretty much pointless but you never know who might fall for it.

For one if it is jagex they wont need you to tell them your password and second its obviously fake when they cant even spell.

Edit: Baak you stole my words

Amazing how some people probably fall for that. That was indeed a very poor attempt at scamming :/

I can understand that you care for other people, and that you would hate to see your fellow runewebbians fall for the scams of this player. I really appreciate that.

However, I don't really think that an incident such as this one, was worth it to make a topic about it.

To me this is just anohter of thousands of rulebreakers. He has no gold crown, so he doesn't have the right to ask your password. It's as simple as that.

I believe that the majority of the RW members are fully aware of this, making the warning pretty useless.

But that's just my opinion.

It's just another example of how rotten the RS community can look. Fortunately, there are also many players who play the game in a fair way. You did a good job in reporting him. Jagex will deal with him. ;D

That's the first thing I thought when I saw the picture Its almost certain that it's not Jagex if they use abbreviations plus the fact Jagex will never ask you for your password.

You should know that moderators of Jagex will never ask for your password.

You should know that even Jagex Mods have a crown next to their name (gold).

You should know that posts like these will get locked per the forum rules. I'm stunned that Baak didn't catch it.
