This is probably the most recent scam ever. I mean check this out, these people actually think that anyone one with commmon sense would fall for this email. Here check it out.
Dear RuneScape Member,

As you may have heard RuneScape is celebrating one year anniversary.
RuneScape 2 was released one year ago!

We picked out 1 000 000 lucky players, because of this special occasion.
Those players have a real chance to win 30 days of free membership.

And we are glad to inform that you are ONE OF THEM!
The winning of this prize is totally up to you.
You have a real chance to add 30 days of membership to your account and enjoy the benefits of it.
In other words we give you $5, which is needed and will be used for 30 days of membership!

Please fill in the application appearing in the link bellow:

www.runescape.com

You must fill in the application if you want to win the prize!

Yours Sincerely,
The RuneScape Customer Service Team.

PS. The link for the address is also fake. It redirects you to some site that doesnt even exist.

I'm terribly sorry but I dont get the scam is it just the fact they are "giving" you 30 days of membership or is there something else Im missing

A Wise Old Man once told me: If ever you encounter a scammer, be sure to take out a heavy baseball bat, beat him to an inch of his life, then slap him with a wet noodle that has been licked by a dolphin.

Basically what it is trying to do is to get you to log into your account and sign into runescape. It might be a kind of backdoor trojan or something, not fully sure.

You can't get free members, but I also got another email a couple months back about Jagex offering you to be a moderator and also an invisible drop party. I want to find out who is sending these emails, and give them a peace of my mind Just for the heck of it.
