Password reset Emails [Info]
Quick find code: 408-409-637-66117150
Update:
Some of these emails are sent by Jagex, others are sent by a phisher. After checking on several accounts that reported receiving these emails, it appears that those who receive only a few of these emails are getting them from Jagex and caused by someone knowing or randomly guessing the login name. Those who are receiving a lot of these emails are likely receiving emails from phishers who know the email address, not the login name.
Whether it was sent by Jagex or by a phisher, you can safely ignore these emails as long as your email is secure .
The emails caused by someone hitting 'forgot password' (the emails sent by Jagex), are usually sent to players who have a login name instead of a login email, or leaked their login name/email somewhere. A login name instead of login email is easy to randomly put in or guess, resulting in such an email. They would try this once or twice, but not usually a large amount of times.
The emails sent by a phisher are sent because someone knows the email address that is receiving these emails, and will contain a phishing link somewhere. These can come in in large amounts.
There is an easy way to see which one you're dealing with, aside from the amount of emails you're getting: changing your registered email. If you keep getting emails on your new registered email, the emails are likely caused by someone knowing your login name. If the emails keep coming in on your old email, you know they are phishing emails sent to the email address, not the account
