It has been brought to my attention that several users, mostly RuneScape, have been sent the following email or some form of it:

'Hello valued Miniclip forums participant!


As we just announced, Miniclip Forums is doing a series of promotions to show long time Runescape players how much we appreciate them.

Please click the link below to see how you can take part in this new event!

forums.miniclip.com/promotion' (the link goes to some place on www.anywhereenterprises)

No, this email's not real, it's http://deadfake.com

This email may appear to come from any number of Miniclip Administrators or employees. Do not click this link, it takes you to a third party site that reportedly wants you to download a suspicious program and/or log in using your Miniclip account details.

This website is not owned by Miniclip, and typing in "forums.miniclip.com/promotion" to your URL bar will result in a 404, the email contains a masked (trick) link to a third party website NOT affiliated with Miniclip.

The emails were sent out using a spoofing program, which is why they may appear to be from legit Miniclip staff members. They are not and it is suggested that you trash the email immediately.

I guess our immature little friend here has taken notice of this announcement and has stopped sending out password phishing emails, and is now sending out emails claiming to be from various staff members. In these emails, the "staff members" are threatening to ban and permaban various forum users here for really stupid reasons.

Either way, it's not us, and you can tell because the bottom of every single email says:
--
No, this email's not real, it's http://deadfake.com

If you see this in your email, disregard it and trash it because it is not from us.

If you get an email like this and still have a question about it, you can email the REAL RFS at "rfs AT rfshq DOT com".
