<p>replacing category</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{update|date=19 December 2006}}<br /> <br /> We&#039;re seeing a growing number of people in our game and on our forums advertising scam websites which are designed to steal your RuneScape password. <br /> These websites generally offer you something amazing, such as a sneak preview of a forthcoming RuneScape update, thus tempting you into giving away your password in your excitement. Even if the website itself doesn&#039;t ask you to enter your RuneScape password, it might [http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2087 install malicious software on your computer] that would steal your password the next time you type it. <br /> <br /> In particular, we would like to make it very clear that websites promoting sequels or spinoffs relating to our games are &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;font color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;fake&lt;/font&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;. Similarly, websites offering RuneScape benefits or the chance to become a [http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewcategory.ws?cat_id=136 moderator] are &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;font color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;fake&lt;/font&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;. None of these websites should be trusted. <br /> <br /> Think about it for a moment: If we had made something new and fun, we wouldn&#039;t hide it on a different website. We&#039;d tell you all about it right here on &#039;&#039;www.runescape.com&#039;&#039;, like we did when we were working on RuneScape 2. So if you&#039;ve found something that claims to be from us, but it&#039;s not mentioned on &#039;&#039;www.runescape.com&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;www.jagex.com&#039;&#039; then &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;font color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;it is fake&lt;/font&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;! We don&#039;t run secret websites. <br /> <br /> If you see someone advertising a scam website in our game or forums, don&#039;t panic. You&#039;re safe so long as you don&#039;t visit the website. You can, however, help us by reporting them immediately, and we can take swift action to have their website removed by our Investigation Team. <br /> <br /> If this happens in the game, please use the [http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2479 Report Abuse] button at the bottom of your screen, selecting &#039;&#039;Rule 11: Advertising / website&#039;&#039;. <br /> <br /> If the website is being advertised on our forums, please report it in the &#039;&#039;Forum Emergencies&#039;&#039; thread in the General forum, stating the thread&#039;s Quick-Find Code and the username of the player advertising the website. But don&#039;t post a copy of the website&#039;s address in the &#039;&#039;Forums Emergencies&#039;&#039; thread; that would help the scammers! <br /> <br /> Thank you for your support.<br /> Happy holidays!<br /> <br /> [[Category:Customer Support updates|Fake websites]]</div>
